Storm at Batoche
This book is about a young named James. He is European. James gets lost in a big storm just outside of Batoche. He is picked up by a nice man named Louis. All Louis tells James about himself is that he is Métis an his name is Louis. Louis takes James on his horse back to his cabin. Louis gives James a place to sleep and gives him some Gallete to eat. James says Gallet is called Bannock. Louis takes James to city of Batouch where James's family are. He tells James that he can not go into the city. James goes back to his family and a few days later he heard about a evil man named Louis was captured. Is this the same man that helped James?
I think the man is Louis Reliel bbecause:
-The pictures look like Louis Reliel
-His name is Louis
-He is Métis
-He would not go in the city because he was in hiding
-He would not tell James his full name
Why did Louis and James call Gallet and Bannock different things when they are the same thing?
They called them different things because Gallet is the Métis word for the bread and Bannaock is European. James learnt that it was called Bannock from his mom because she is European and Louis learnt it in his history that it is called Gallet because his Métis culture taught him that.

What is Inferring?
Inferring is when you take some text or look at a picture and try to find the deeper meaning. To make an inference use the equation: Clues (text and/or picture) + Past Knowledge = Inference. To find the official defintion go to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/inferring. I would define inferring to be the process of finding a deep meaning of something that seems to have simple meaning ( it is often connected to some form of dieing).
Yesterday out class was split up into groups and read a book to find the deeper meaning (Inference). The group i was in read the book Josepha by Jim McGovern. It was a about a boy who went to school and was made fun of from others. He didn't no how to speak the same language. The book talked about nobody wanting Josepha around. So with Josepha feeling bad he ran away. After he was gone everyone was starting to miss him and want him to be back. A lot of people were saying how such a good boy he was. Then one day Josepha returns and everyone welcomes him in open arms. There all glad to see him especially his teacher. Josepha then leaves a second time but nobody wants him to leave. Everyone says their goodbyes and is sad he is leaving.
My Inference was that Josepha died (yes Fish he died). I found this because when he first left he went to Hell, he went their because nobody wanted him and he seemed like he was a bad person. When everyone started to miss him he was being reincarnated as a better person. He was then sent back to Earth to prove him self a better person. As people started to like him, he started to get his goal. Once everyone one loved he achieved his goal. He died once again but this time he was happy and nobody wanted him to leave. From all this good fortune he was not sent back to Hell, but blessed and sent to heaven. And that is what I thought this book was trying to tell you.
Example: The Polar express is a childrens book that has a deeper meaning. It is about a little boy who wakes up during th middle of the night on christmas eve. He sees a train in front of his house and goes to board it. The train was filled with lots of happy children. As the train is going it goes towards a bright light. When it passes the light the train stops at the North Pole. Everyone gets off the train to see Santa. Santa picks one person to choose the first gift of Christmas and he choose the boy the story is about. The boy asks for a bell from Santa's sleigh. When he gets the bell everyone re-boards the train. When the kids on the train ask to see the bell he (the boy) finds a hole in the pocket he put the bell in. The boy being very sad leaves train and goes back to his bed. In the morning after him and his sister have opened all of the gifts, his sister finds one last gift without a tag on it. They open the box and find the bell the boy had lost and ring it and hear the most beautiful sound, but their parents hear nothing. The boy show the bell to his friends the next day and they here the amazing sound too. Eventually his friends are not able to hear the bell anymore, but it takes a longer time from when his sister can't here its sound.
My inference was that the boy died because the drain the boy gets on is taking him away from life. The light he goes to is the light you see when your dieing. When he gets to the North Pole its Heaven. Santa is God and the elves who help Santa are angles that help god. When the boy gets the bell it represents his spirit. The people being able to hear the bell are the people not being able to go with their lives without the boy. When the people can no longer here the bell is when they are able to accept he is gone and they need to move on.
