The Canadian Town of Cheltenham
PART A
------
Cheltenham is located in the town of Caledon. Cheltenham was found in
1822 by Charles Haines. Cheltenham is located close to the Credit River
and the Canadian National Railway known as the C.N.R. The absolute
location of Cheltenham is 43 45' North and 79 55' West. The setting of
Cheltenham is a valley with the Nigara Escarpment behind it. Cheltenham is
located at the south west point of Caledon. Cheltenham is located north of
Toronto.
Now in 1989 Cheltenham is mostly residential. There is some open
space but very little industry now. There is one general store located in
the centre of cheltenham. There is a cemetary located opposite of The Fire
Hall.
Cheltenham was chosen as a town because of the Credit River and the
Canadian National Railway. The railway produced trasportation for goods to
be delivered to other cities. The cheap efficient rail transportation also
ment that Cheltenham's businesses had to compete against goods manufactured
by mass production in larger urban centers to the south. Therefore the
economy of Cheltenham would rise. The Credit River produce lots of Hydro
electric power for the people of Cheltenham.
The two main reasons why the site was chosen for a town was the
transportation produced by the C.N.R. and the hydro electric produced from
the Credit River.

The land use at the mill pond area between 1850-1870 in Cheltenham was
mostly industrial uses. Most of the industries or buildings were located
very close to each other because they all depended on each other. The
industries in Cheltenham were located close to the Credit river.
Canada my Canada by Tomson Highway describes Canada in a very descriptive way. The majestic mountains are like a protective wall for the Great Plains. The blue water with the diverse marine life and the Forests that provide air for a big part of North America.
The issue here is that the industries, alongside with the government that is currently ruling, still continues to dig out from this Earth and extract oil from the sands, most especially in Alberta which is located in the North America or also known as Canada. The Fort McMurray, the biggest land for mining oil from its sands in the country, is the best candidate of examples of this current issue that the country is facing when it is concerned about public safety and also, the water pollution. Fort McMurray's temporary tailing lakes contain a great volume of water, sand, clay, hydrocarbons, naphthenic acids, salt and other byproducts of the bitumen extraction and upgrading process. Even in -30 degrees, the hot waste sends a great amount of steam
The protagonist of Gregor is meant to resemble Franz Kafka. Out of sense of duty to his parents, Kafka took jobs that he did not enjoy. His relationship with his father remained strained throughout his life; his father’s impact can be seen in much of Kafka’s writing (Kafka Birthday: A Letter From Franz Kafka To His Father). Gregor’s relationship with his father is similar to Kafka’s relationship with his father. For most of Kafka’s life, he did not live to fulfill his own needs; Kafka was living under his father’s expectations. He was under enormous pressure to become a successful businessman like his father, but Kafka had a profound love for literature which went against his father mindset; hence, the strained relationship between Kafka and his father (Kafka Birthday: A Letter From Franz Kafka To His Father). Franz Kafka had two younger brothers, Georg and Heinrich; unfortunately they both died leaving Kafka as the only...
As the government of Canada was taking its first steps as a united country after confederation it was eying a vast amount of land which is now part of the Canadian prairies and Manitoba. The Canadian government was interested in Rupert’s land because Canada wanted to expand from sea to sea (A Mari Usque Ad Mare) therefore accomplishing sir MacDonald vision for a bigger better Canada. One of the main reasons why Canada was eager to buy Rupert’s land was because good farmable land was scarce in Ontario. In addition many settlers were thinking of moving toward the west (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) the Canadian government was ecstatic about this because it was like hitting two birds with one rock why? Provided Canada was afraid of the American expansion toward the north. Lest, it wanted settlers to settle in the west therefore claim it for Canada. When Macdonald found out that settlers were interested in moving to the west he wanted them to settle as soon as possible and preferably before their neighbours. However, Rupert’s land was in the way and it was up for sell from the once powerful Hudson’s Bay Company whom controlled the area. In conclusion the British fur trade giant had been in decline for years and now it was up for grabs. The Canadians were afraid of The Americans, who had just paid Russia millions of dollars for Alaska in 1867, whom were also looking for other properties to expand their Republic and eyed the territory. But Canada saw Rupert's Land as the natural extension of its new nation which included Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec and it was not going to let it get away. However, The Hudson's Bay Company was prepared to sell to the Americans who would pay top dollar. But on March 20, 1869, ...
The story of Gregor Samsa and his metamorphosis is one of sorrow, but more a story to unveil the cruelties of Humankind. Kafka’s brilliance and understanding of human nature can not be fully grasped by quickly reading the story, but instead divulging into the hidden messages Kafka inserts within the text.
"A Rose for Emily" is a wonderful short story written by William Faulkner. It begins with at the end of Miss Emily’s life and told from an unknown person who most probably would be the voice of the town. Emily Grierson is a protagonist in this story and the life of her used as an allegory about the changes of a South town in Jefferson after the civil war, early 1900's. Beginning from the title, William Faulkner uses symbolism such as house, Miss Emily as a “monument “, her hair, Homer Barron, and even Emily’s “rose” to expresses the passing of time and the changes. The central theme of the story is decay in the town, the house, and in Miss Emily herself. It shows the way in which we all grow old and decay and there is nothing permanent except change.
Gregor’s family and how they treat him reflects the way that Kafka interacted with his family. The similarities between Kafka’s family and Gregor’s family can be seen in their name. Kafka’s friend remarks, “The hero of the story is called Samsa, it sounds like a cryptogram for Kafka” (Kennedy and Gioia 299). Kafka’s family was middle-class, and his father was a businessman. They had servants and maids just like Gregor’s family. Kafka was the eldest out of six children, and was very close to his sisters. This is seen ...
Since the very beginning of the colonization of Canada in the late 15th century, there has been a dispute and anger between the British and the French. This arguing is also present in the ongoing conflict between the French-speaking region of Quebec and the rest of Canada. The conflict has been discussed in the Canadian parliament and this is also the origin of the idea that Quebec should be an independent nation. The first part of the essay will cover the general history behind the dispute between Quebec and the rest of Canada. Then the essay will go on to discuss the positive and negative sides of a possible separation. The final part of the essay will compare the situation in Canada with the separation of Pakistan and East Pakistan in the 1970’s. Then go on to conclude whether or not a secession is possible for Quebec. Therefore, my research question is; is there a possibility that the province of Quebec could separate from the rest of Canada?
Thornbury Castle The first part of the assignment concerns the characteristics of Thornbury Castle, and in particular its defensive and palace like features. Having visited the site, in my opinion Thornbury Castle displays both defensive and luxurious, palace like features. The Castle has the beginning of a ditch which could be argued as being a moat. Crennelations, machicolations, gun/arrow loops and portcullis grooves are all strong defensive features included in the building of Thornbury Castle. Arguably, the most defensive feature of Thornbury
Having an birdseye view of the world can change one’s perspective entirely.Gregor Samsa is a hardworking middle-aged man who endures living in the industrial age in which he works all day at a job he dreads. Kafka shows the irony of evolving by comparing the mind of Gregor with his family, showing the flaws of human nature, and the ways in which society can destroy one’s self worth.
This is a chapter in Baltimore’s history that will never be forgotten. Events that caused outrage and debate throughout the United States, and sparked the first major rioting in Baltimore that the City hasn’t seen in decades.
Canadian groups the Haida, Inuits, and The Iroquois are three groups that impacted Canada . These three groups all had a different way of life with few things in common. The three groups had a different ways, but all lived in Canada. They had many more similarities and also many differences. The Inuit’s, the Haida, and the Iroquois are all important groups.
Text Box: As we zoom in, we can see that Kidderminster is a fairly large town, with the A442, A449 and the A456 travelling towards it.
From the beginning of The Metamorphosis Kafka offers a comical depiction of Gregor’s “squirming legs” (Kafka 13) and a body in which “he could not control” (7). Gregor’s initial reaction to this situation was the fact he was late to his dissatisfying job as a salesman, but Gregor knows that he has to continue his job in order to keep the expectation his family holds upon him to pay of the family’s everlasting debt. When Gregor’s family eventually realizes that Gregor is still lying in his bed, they are confused because they have expectations on Gregor that he will hold the family together by working. They know if Gregor was to quit his job there would be a great catastrophe since he is the glue to keeping their family out of debt. The communication between his family is quickly identified as meager and by talking to each other from the adjacent walls shows their disconnection with each other. Kafka introduces the family as lacking social skills in order to offer the reader to criticize and sympathize for Gregor’s family dynamics. Gregor’s manager makes an appearance quickly after experiencing the dysfunction within the fami...
In final consideration the character Gregor was not a narcissistic man as we mostly assumed from his attitude in The Metamorphosis. He accepted his fate of becoming one of the misted hated and annoying insects known to man. As supported by scholarly journals, academic websites, and books I have verified my belief that the story The Metamorphosis was a true autobiographical piece of writing, and parts of the story reflected Kafka's own life. The protagonist of the story The Metamorphosis is a mirrored reflection of the author Franz Kafka's life experiences and encounters. Secondly the analysis of the story is addressed to all general population.
