this just shows the devotion of the hockey culture that consumed canada

they really are drawing a lot of connections to religion and faith and how the hockey team was seen

it is crazy to think about how one nation thinks so highly of one sports team that an entire cirriculum for a class can be made based off the team and the events that underwent

"theology course" because hockey is their religion

seems like a joke - but people thought of hockey this much and worshipped it

there is a literally graduate level class comparing hockey to religion at the collegiate level. this just emphasizes how people worshipped the sport in canada

tear gas seems so extreme for a reaction to a player getting suspended, but again it was just interesecting with the real world and sports.

the combination of the holiday and the event made for a perfect storm

montreal included both english and french, which allowed them to conjoin and agree on a cause for once

the people worshipped richard so highly they took his punishment personally

a lot of what happens in society affects sports and vice versa

important emotional moment for french canadians to bond over their love for the sport and player

while a seeming joke, this is too far and may be taken literally, especially to hockey fans

and they mean personally. they thought of richard and hockey so highly, they would fight for it

the people did not agree with the decision to suspend richard

richard does not seem like an appropriate role model - yet everyone looked up to him. Most likely because he was so in touch with his emotions and was not afraid to let someone know what he was feeling.

speaks to the description of "la Grande Noirceur"

the french canadians were struggling socially against the english despite outnumbering them because of their status

the same idea from the last article that people held him higher than religion

shows how he cares for his country by enlisting

crazy how civilians can just defy the police

the one player just got a time out while richard got kicked out of the game and suspended

this is funny how petty and emotional the players are

it still surprises me how people find hockey so entertaining and created such an uproar over a sport

very descriptive work. it is interesting the type of injuries that come from hockey specifically

him showing up to the game instigated the public to riot and probably could have been avoided if he did not attend

it is crazy to think that a riot from a hockey game was bigger than the riot for the draft in WWII

one of the few times french and english could agree

This is shocking because of the religious strength in Canada's history. It makes sense for the time period, as people start breaking away from strict religious law, but even today people idolize famous athletes and people like a religion

There was much disagreement between the French and the English in Canada, especially with the control the English took over the French Canadians. this is a good example of French being upset and mistreated by English power

While not right, this is still true today. People care more about the money they make then the people that get hurt because it is what entertains the public

Another great of examples of how highly the early settlers valued religion and faith. In this description, they did not care whether they lived or died and accepting their fate as it was seen as God's will. Religious propaganda and indoctrination is spread throughout the whole work

The descriptions throughout the entire novel speak on behalf of the values of the people. it is so detailed and was a common work of the time, which meant there were many others written similarly in style

An excellent description of the themes of the time period. Rural experience close to nature spread throughout the countryside and people found peace in the quiet country

Turning to prayer in times of hardship

An example of some propaganda and indoctrination of the time period. religion and tradition were held closely to the people of the time, and this is a good example of both.

again, winter was a long season for Canada and it was hard on their crops. They dreamed of living in a land with warm weather year round

settlers were living amongst the native people of the New France. this emphasizes the thoughts of the settlers toward the indians, as they had "dark mysterious powers" and "carried death." The division between the two was evident and they seemingly lived two completely different lifestyles

Medicine and doctors were scarce and not very knowledgable of disease because of the time period, so it was common to have fatal results from seemingly common illnesses

again shows how winters are hard on the lives and income of the citizens and spring and good weather are important for trade and commerce

spring time was very important for trade and commerce throughout Canada and Quebec. this is very important to their lifestyle and making an income, so when there is a long winter it is hard on the everyday lives of people. this is a common value of this period in Quebec

more evidence of religion and indoctrination throughout

Again, emphasizing the religion and values of the time. Translates to how much they turned to their religion whenever they are in trouble and how much they fear the devil

the continuous mention of religion and values of this period of Quebec displays the indoctrination attempts

Novels like this were approved through the church, so religion and churches must be valued and held highly throughout the ones that were approved.

A theme in Canada is their open land and woods. They do not have very populated cities and areas, but is known mostly for its open land and wooded areas. This section is very descriptive of this and described it well

In Canada it is important to understand the weather, while it is April and sunny, there is still snow on the ground and it is quite cold.

This is a gruesome attack and way to die. I can somewhat understand to a point that the natives have bitterness toward Christianity and the French, but rage and harm are hard for me to grasp. It clearly relates to the time period and is seemingly more common, but it is so hard for me to believe this much killing was normalized at a time in life

The Jesuits seemingly helped the Hurons during the winters and protected them. Not sure whether to believe this because of the narrator and audience. If true, it is good that the Jesuits are putting a helpful hand forward

they used punishments of execution for crimes such as stealing. this may have been more common during the time period but for us seems very extreme

this description shows the bias toward the jesuits and against the natives

as a translation, a lot of details or specifics are lost and it is not as reliable. as described in class, the narrator and audience are crucial when considering the reliability and purpose behind a story.

The description of the indigenous people's beliefs are described in bias to that of the French. Here, it talks about their beliefs as myths, games, and tricks. These ideas attributed to the differences between the French and the natives and shows how unaccepting the French were despite intruding on the natives' land.

They held religion and religious work so highly during this time period that the people were praised for their religious work. This contrasts heavily with the description of the indigienous people because they were looked on so poorly for their lack of religion. In this sense, they related religious work with intelligence and glory

it is interesting how they targetted the children because they have yet to form their opinions on the world. the kids that were converted were stripped of their familial values and forced into conversion

religion was a major part of France, and it translated over into New France. the goal in New France is to convert the indigenous people because they were considered redeemable, yet savages.
