when you made this you included some very strong words about John A Macdonald. I also agree that he was a heavy drinker. Back then they didn't have much to drink so they drank alcohol or water or whatever you had to drink. In the movie we watched in class he was trying to win peoples votes by offering them alcohol so that sort of says something about his personality.
The words used in this word splash. They are all really descriptive, and accurate. Everything in this word splash is related to John A. Macdonald, and is on topic. It's very interesting that you also decided to put personal information on his life in there too. You can really get to know a bit about John A. as a person, instead of just a historical figure in Canadian history. Alcohol and being a heavy drinker seems to have a lot to do with Mr, Macdonald, and from what I saw from the movie we watched, I'd definitely say this is historically accurate. John A. tried to bribe people in the movie with alcohol, for more votes. To me, this shows a bit in how politics used to work back then. It hasn't changed much either, because we still try hard to get our way with bribery. Politics are not as honest as it is usually portrayed.
I thought the word splash you created is very well done and creative and I thought the words you used in this word splash where very descriptive and creative. You really captured who and what kind of person John A. is in the words you used. I also found it interesting how you included word to also describe his personal life. For example I didn’t know the John A was a heavy drinker, I thought that was kind of funny.it also shows what the politics were like back then. You should take a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI6c0JkURCU I this it has a lot of interesting information about John A. Macdonald.

I like how it has politician, intelligent, dominion of Canada and conservatives I think these are important words that describe him he is a politician and very smart because he was a lawyer he also was the first Prime Minister so i think this is a great pic because it has all his accomplishments and traits. good job!
Hey Dez, I think your descriptive illustration looks awesome, I can easily tell who this person is and can easily see some very accurate words that describe John A. Mcdonald and his life. The words about his personality seem very accurate as well, like intelligent, and creative mind. I liked how you added heavy drinker, it makes John A. seem more human and not just a strong political figure. Here is a link to some fun facts about John A. that I thought were pretty cool. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/in-defence-of-sir-john-a-macdonald-15-things-to-know-about-canadas-first-prime-minister. Number 11 is pretty brutal though, just a warning.
