Hi everybody, so basically as our Final Project in FLIGHT9 this year we were assigned this individual project called the BlueSky project.

I honestly loved doing this and the whole project was amazing, you got to be creative with what you loved and it’s a chance to achieve something with something behind you driving you to do it. I mean we all have this potential to do these amazing things but we just don’t. Don’t ask me why because it’s just in our nature I guess but having this as an actual final project drives you to actually do it.

Now makeup and stage makeup involving optical illusions are something I love to do for fun and it’s something I enjoy but this was really a whole new thing and it was really fun to do and yes it was hard but in the end I was proud. I think I could have planned out a bit better but the end result turned out better than I thought.

Thanks Jolene for helping me with this project and I definitely could not have done it if you helped me. Thanks a lot! Btw you should check out her Blue Sky cuz she made her own shoes… js!

So I guess my question for this topic is how the heck did ALL the kings during this time period suck so bad. I mean was it genetic or something? Hope you find out but at the same time I want to warn you that this video is 7 minutes long soooooo if you want to just stop watching and switch to a different video then….. go for it. Thanks anyways!

For our metaphor machine we all came up with a metaphor about the American Revolution and although they seemed kinda impossible… I’m surprised they ended up working really well. The entire process really ended up picking up speed towards the last week but it was an incredible journey of yelling at people and getting yelled at and yeah… it wasn’t all pretty. Hope You enjoy our video!

Count Frontenac

 During the times of New France, one of the most important roles were the Governors who was also the highest ranking official. Basically his role was to make sure that everything was running smoothly with other officials and first nations people… basically his job was being the boss. He was the one who made sure other officials where doing the jobs properly while making these relations and alliances with other first nations people. Another major thing the Governor was in charge of was the army there in New France.
 The most famous among all the governors was Comte Louis de Buade de Frontenac (Count Frontenac). Count Frontenac was known for his plans to expand New France west into the native lands and taking greater shares of the fur trade. He basically put these ideas into action by sending out people westwards away from settlements and building forts along the way. This however irritated the Iroquois ended up restarting their old fight for the fur trade surrounding the Great Lakes. Also the new movement heading west was also causing the Iroquois to become angry even further resulting in wars. One of Frontenac’s biggest success’s came when he led 2000 soldiers to the Iroquois and caused them to flee making New France safe from attacks led by the Iroquois. Frontenac’s success resulted in bigger shares of the fur trade expanding New France and also allowing New France and its next Governors free from focusing on the attacks giving more time to focus on other things. 

Marie Antoinette was married to Louis XVI the Dauphin and crown prince of France at the age of only 14 years old. She was the 15th daughter, princess and archduchess of Maria Theresa, empress of Austria. Yeah this is getting pretty formal for now I know. So when she married, she was a young beauty who was very free and relaxed living in Austria without much care… I mean being the 15th daughter you can’t really expect for too much. 

However that was not the case. She was married to the monarchy of the most powerful nation in Europe at the time. She was a young, free living, and innocent girl at the time with the most lavish and prestigious wedding ceremony. But the peak of her enchanted life would come later after the King Louis XV died. She would become queen of France, the most powerful of Europe, at the age of 18 years old. Still a teenager when she became queen, she was very dissatisfied with her marriage because the kind was very shy and awkward though he loved her and not only that but he was un-able to have a sexual relationship since he was still younger. She started spending lavishly on her own interests and close friends that she made. She was tired of the formal etiquette and many were offended by this. 
She started engaging in her personal interests such as night life, fashion, theatre and through all this many rumours were spread about her and other relationships she had through much flirting. One major person in these relationships was Ferson Von Axel whom she spent much time with.
In the end people rebelled and she refused to give up her position nor did she accept the revolution. She did have 4 children, two who had died including the next heir. Once she was executed for influencing the king and being the center of all the turmoils (especially financially), she was beheaded and her severed head was held up high for all to see. 
In the end she was raised in a free living careless environment as a child with attention from all for her beauty and innocence but later was burdened suddenly with such a large weight of becoming queen of the most power country in Europe, forced into a strict manner of etiquette and duties, faced with personal interests and desires and dissatisfaction with her marriage with king louis. Once becoming more mature she was ridiculed for being unable to produce an heir and for having many sexual relations with other one being a women who tried bringing her down through these rumours influencing and causing the Diamond Necklace Incident using a prostitute who looked like Marie Antoinette. After bearing 4 children, 2 had died of diseases not to include her miscarriages. Once the rebellion had grown to its peak she had grown firm in her position and was even further ridiculed. 
In general Marie Antoinette stood firm to the end even to her death but was quite a misunderstood person. Being under so much pressure from a young age with enemies all around. Some wonder if she had ever known true happiness in her life after marrying into the french monarchy.
