Book Report On Louis Riel

An additional objection that I had for this book was that in some parts, it failed to narrow in on where the setting was. At some points, it would simply state an island, or maybe just a city name. As readers, we cannot be expected to know where these places are or what country they are in. As an author, she should have clarified these details better.

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.

Louis Riel was a strong and devoted political leader. He was someone who cared greatly for his people, the Metis. He was very persistent in every one of his opinions. He was extremely single-minded and pertinacious which compelled many people to claim that he was insane. He was well-educated but disliked among the British because he of his racial background. Louis Riel was both a hero and a traitor. To the Metis people he was seen as an honorable hero because he protected his people and his land from the British. From the British point of view, he was seen as a threat and a criminal. In my opinion he should be remembered as a hero and should have been found not guilty.

In my opinion I thought that this book was a very good book. In this chapter I will describe the setting, theme, plot and conflict etc. This book had a few different settings like

The author’s style of writing is straightforward and to the point and the novel is unique because it is written through the different perspectives of the four main characters. The switching of perspectives throughout the book is what made the book so hard to put down. I could see, compare and contrast how the characters themselves feel about the situation. As this goes on, the reader can comprehend the characters’ personalities better and their view on the other characters. If this story was written from just one point of view, one wouldn’t be able to figure out each character’s thoughts and perception of people around them.

This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.

He reblled against the government as they were trying to take his peoples rightful land. By the metis, he is a hero. No matter the consequences he stood up for their rights which led him to his death leaving children behind. By others he is labelled as a traitor or a killer after an ordeal with a man named Thomas Scott. Scott was an unruly, racist, and mean prisoner who had several confrontations with Louis Riel. Unsurprisingly, Louis Riel notified officials which ultimatley led to Scott's execution, to this day people still blame Riel for Scotts death. Despite the contriversy Louis Riel will remain as a Metis Hero and founder of the province Manitoba even with the lable "traitor" on his grave. This man has sacrificed his Family, his job, his sanity, and even his own life to defend what he believed was right and for that, many people will be forever grateful. Unfortunatly Louis Riel's legacy will not impact the future as Metis still have few rights but he will always be a referrence andwill continue to do his job which is spreading awareness on this famous political

Louis Riel was one of the most controversial figures in Canadian history, and even to this day – more than a century after his execution – he continues to be remembered. Many believed him to be a villain; others saw him as a hero. So who was he really? Born in St. Boniface at the Red River Settlement of Canada (present-day Winnipeg, Manitoba) on October 22, 1844, Louis Riel hoped one day to follow his father’s footsteps and become a great Métis leader just like him. Eventually, Riel was seen as a hero to the French-speaking Métis. In the Canadian West, however, most people regarded him as a villain due to his execution in 1885. Nevertheless, Louis Riel was not really a villain by heart; only a flawed man who made many mistakes in his life.

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

As many already know, Louis led two main rebellions against the Canadian government, known as the Red River Rebellion in 1869; the time when the Métis were in the threat of losing all their land, and the Northwest Rebellion in 1885; the time when Louis and the Métis took their final stand in Saskatchewan. In addition to this, Louis Riel and his men captured and executed an aggravating English man named Thomas Scott, who was fighting against Métis rights. Tom declared, “You? A bunch of Catholic half-breeds? It would be a sunny day in hell before I’d do a thing you tell me to. What can you do to me you haven’t done already? You and your bunch of cowards don’t scare me one bit.” The continuous threats and malicious remarks had to be put to a stop, therefore leading to his execution he rightfully deserved. His bold acts of rebellion against the government were only out of passion and out of reasons to save the Métis independence. Due to these occurrences, it had established a vital point in Canada that wouldn’t have happened if he never stood up for the Métis.

Louis Riel, a well educated lawyer and a persuasive orator, was granted the role of leader within the Metis at the age of 24. As the leader of his people, he immediately responded to the actions of the land surveyors, speculators, and the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)- who had sold Rupert’s Land and the North-Western Territories with no consideration of the interests or opinions of the people settled there. These actions forced Riel to form a coalition and seize Fort Garry, beginning the Red River Rebellion. During this rebellion, Riel accomplished two feats, with the support of the Metis and provisional government, that speak of his civilized and educated image. These two feats were the Metis List of Rights and the Proposal for the Creation

Louis Riel was born on October 22, 1844 in the Red River Settlement (what is now Manitoba). Many people are not sure if he left a good or bad legacy, but overall, Louis Riel left a good legacy. Louis Riel led two resistance movements against the Canadian government. He wanted to preserve Metis rights and culture as their homelands in the Northwest came progressively under the Canadian sphere of influence. Louis Riel was religious and he stayed true to his culture and people.

The nineteenth century included many well known, key figures such as Louis Riel. At this time in history, actions of civilians, were setting the fundaments of Canada in motion. It was clear, from the very beginning of his education, that riel was a standout student. Riel was identified as a strong candidate for priest school, given a scholarship and attended a Sulpician school in Montréal until his father’s death in 1864. His father, Louis Riel, Sr. was a businessman and political leader in the métis community. His political legacy likely influenced his son, Louis Riel Jr. Who than returned to Red River, his childhood home to support his family, and widowed mother after his father’s death.

Louis Riel Don’t death penalties go toward murderers, not victims? You can take back your words but can you bring back a life. ”You got to be brave and have courage, believe in yourself, because that is the first thing to success is believe in yourself.” A quote by Louis Riel. When one hears Louis Riel, they think of the founder of Manitoba and the great Metis leader.

Louis Riel was hanged for treason on November 16, 1885, but was he a real villain? Louis Riel was a national hero because he stood up for Metis rights and therefore, the trial and consequences he faced was unjust. It was the Canadian government that broke the promises and treated the Metis poorly. The Metis' rights to the lands, culture, education, and economic foundation were disappearing once again. Surveyors began to arbitrary divide the land of the newly formed District of Saskatchewan, in which many of the Metis moved into after the Red River Rebellion, into the square concession system. They were starving because of the reduction of a number of bisons, which were their primary source of food. The Hudson Bay Company treated the Metis terribly,
