Port Royal..

1. Monopoly means the only one to control the whole business. The monopoly has great power. Samuel De Champlain wanted to be a monopoly not only because of the power he would have to order the others, but also because of the immense amount of profit in furtrade. If he was the monopoly, all the money would have went to him. This means he only needs to work to establish the fur trade and wait for money to flow into his pockets!! Everyone loves MONEY!!$$$!!

2. Just like the exploration essay we did, exploring brings the countries a lot of benefits, especially when it's colonized. If the French colonies were successfully formed, France can enlarge their territories and find more natural resources. At the same time, they can have more population to create a stronger country. The negotiating of cultures is also very important. France can absorb the local culture and mix it with their own. That would help to educate better people. The king of course wanted his country to become stronger!!

3. a)In the picture, there is a country road. It looks like the outskirts of a city. I could feel the peace and harmony there. Beside the wooden house, there's a flag pole behind the fence. The flag is dancing in the wind, as though it's saying "Hi" to the sea by its side. The green grass, light blue sky and dark blue ocean makes the place a beautiful painting.

b) There are 3 people standing on the road in the picture. There are several wooden houses behind them. It looks exactly like the county sides. The grass is very green, with a bench a table on it. The sky is a little bit cloudy which makes the picture kind of gloomy and somber.
