In History class we had to find a Canadian Confederation related cartoon. I found this cartoon of John A. MacDonald drawn as a Greek God or “Ulysses”. This is a positive view of Canada’s first Prime Minister. It shows that Canadians obviously view MacDonald as a great person to be compared to a Greek God. As Ulysses counselled the Greek people, MacDonald wisely counselled the people of Canada.
The quote at the bottom of this cartoon says “Ulysses, first in public cares, she found, For prudent councels like the gods renowned”

The Titanic is a movie that has had a major impact on me. I have watched this movie numerous times before, and I still continue to watch it in my spare time. The movie was first released in 1997, the director and writer was James Cameron. This exhilarating movie is going to be launched again in 3D on April 4, 2012. It’s a tragic love story involving two characters: 17 year old Rose Dewitt Bukater and Jack Dawson. While Rose is part of the upper social class and Jack isn’t, they end up falling madly in love. These two very different people meet when Rose attempts to commit suicide by jumping of the stern of the ship because she doesn’t want to marry Cal Hockley (her fiancee- arranged by her/his parents), but Jack spots her and immediately jumps into action by stopping her. After that they spend the last day that the Titanic will ever see together, although they do not know this. Rose asks Jack to sketch her wearing the Heart of The Ocean, a necklace which was the engagement present Cal gave to her. She keeps the necklace safe with her, but they store the photo in Cal’s safe. When the Titanic hits the iceberg, Jack and Rose jump off together and hold on to a panel from the debris of the ship. They say their last words and Jack dies from hypothermia, and Rose is rescued by a lifeboat. While she aboard a new ship she changes her name to Rose Dawson, and she throws the Heart of the Ocean into the oceans deep waves, never to be seen again.
Nearly 60 years later in 1996, a treasure hunter Brock Lovett finds the picture of Rose wearing the Heart of the Ocean found in Cal’s safe. Rose hears of this and approaches Brock, telling him she was the woman in the photo and had tossed the necklace in the ocean
The target audience is for ages 13+, because it is rated PG 13 due to some nudity and acts of violence. It appeals to the target audience because for people to love this movie so much, they are reproducing it just so we can see it again on the big screen in 3D.
