If a Big Company came to town!
I think that if a lot more people move to Assiniboia the town would have a huge crises. Assiniboia would have to make more gas stations because we only have one and there would be way too many people needing gas for only one gas station to produce. The town would need more food supply that only the co-op and Assiniboia foods. There would need to be more schools because there would be lots of families moving in and around the Assiniboia area. All of the Parents might be working at the jobs and the kids will need to go to school we will be need more teachers and parks for the kids to play in. There will have to be way more teachers teaching in Assiniboia and I think that our taxes might go up if there is lots of people. We will have to make the roads highways bigger and make more roads there will be lots of traffic if 500 or more people came to Assiniboia. Assiniboia would have to have more restaurants. A lot more people would want jobs now that lots of people have moved to Assiniboia. We would also need a lot more water we are on a water band right now and we have to buy fresh water and once that band goes off there wouldn’t be much water to use. If more a lot more people move to Assiniboia we might become a city, depends on what the living in Assiniboia is like.
Challenge
If a new industry came to our town there would be a lot of drastic changes. First, we would have to supply temporary housing until permanent housing became available. For permanent housing to become available, we would have to hire construction workers and they would need a place to stay as well. They would have to stay in trailers, apartments, or hotels. Another problem would be the lack of hotels we have. We would have to put up a small hotel or motel for people to live.
We would have to build another gas station. We only have one and it doesn’t stay open very late. Restaurants are also an issue. We only have a few, and people like variety, especially with that many more people that would be living here. There would be more traffic so you would need more parking spaces. If there were a lot of kids moving as well, schools would have to make changes. Get more desks, possibly more teachers; expand the parking lot, etc.
A main issue with more people moving here would be water. We don’t have a very good water system here and we would have to fix it because some people may not want to buy bottled water. Our water is yellow, and not drinkable. We have had a boil water advisory now for a long time, and it burns your eyes when you shower. People don’t want to move to a new place with no tap water.
If that many new people moved here, we would practically become a city. There would be a lot of changes but I think the community could do it. Also, the community would have to come together and help to pull it off.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE - Torri
Napoleon was a selfish leader and he only benefited himself. Napoleon was the leader of France during the Enlightenment. Although France benefited from it; it was not Napoleon’s intent. He only wanted what was best for him and didn’t care about the people of France. He had himself made the First Consul for life and proclaimed himself Emperor of France. He was a bad leader for the French because he only cared about his army, but he did some good things for France only to advance himself and his army. He also took over the directory.
He created public schools that everyone could go to but he only wanted the people for his army to be better educated. He created national banks and an empire. He created the Napoleonic Code that was not good for women or children because it made them lose their rights.
Napoleon only cared about himself and his army, but he lied to the people. When Napoleon came back from France, everyone thought he was a hero, but no one knew he lost. He mislead his troops. Napoleon only lied to get a better rank for himself and just wanted to be on top of everybody else.
When Napoleon was fighting in battles he destroyed people’s homes and made people’s lives very difficult. He did not make life easier for the French. Napoleon was a bad leader for the French and was just in it for himself. Napoleon was a terrible leader. The continental system failed and killed trade.

Napoleon Bonaparte was a selfish leader. He was all in it for himself. Although France benefited from it; it was not Napoleon’s intent. He only wanted what was best for him and didn’t care about the people.
Napoleon had a good sense of his own importance from his mother. She would always tell him how great and special he was which made him very confident. His confidence had a great impact for the way he ruled. He received a scholarship to a military school at the age of nine. At his school, he was viewed as second class. He also accomplished two school years in one. This fuelled him to achieve and be greater than the others. Napoleon had enormous ambition.
Napoleon created public schools. Napoleon created schools for his own benefit to make his army better. Today, the whole world benefits from the selfishness of Napoleon. When he created schools, it was not his intent to educate anyone else besides his army. He created banks as well. To this day we still use banks and they have improved greatly.
He created a code called the Napoleonic Code. It forbade privileges based on birth, allowed freedom of religion, and specified that government jobs go to the most qualified. The Napoleonic Code was good and bad. It was good because it abolished serfdom, all men were equal before the law and it guaranteed freedom of religion. It was bad because it took away the rights of women and children. Napoleon also overthrew the directory, taking all the power for himself, also, this was illegal.
The Continental System was Napoleon’s attempt to stop Britain trade with Europe. However, his attempt did not work and lead to the Battle of Moscow, which lead to his downfall. The Continental System was pointless because if he never had made it, he wouldn’t have had the war to his downfall. A few good things Napoleon did were fixed the financial crisis. He made everyone pay taxes, he created a bank, which stabilized finance, and the prices were under control. He created the concept of nationalism; devotion to the interests or culture of one’s nation. Although he did create some things that weren’t out of his selfishness, it was not enough to make up for how he was all in it for himself, and wanted France for his ego.

Napoleon Bonaparte- Jessica
Although, a majority of the people in France believed that Napoleon Bonaparte was selfish and worked mainly for himself, I believe that he did a lot of good for the country of Europe. Not only did he expand France into an empire, but he also strengthened the economy by taxing everyone, as opposed to just the third estate paying taxes. Napoleon also created schools, which helped educate more children than previous years. Which in my opinion a free education is one of the best, most beneficial things a person can aquire in their life. Napoleon also, took the idea's of a few french philosophers, and turned them into written laws, also known as the Napoleonic Code. The Napoleonic Code, stated that all men were equal before the law, it guaranteed you as a person freedom of religon, and it also abolished serfdom. In my mind, the only downside to the Napoleonic Code, was that is took away almost all rights from woman and children. Napoleon was a very brave man, which is another reason why i'm so for the him and the changes he brought to Europe. Almost every single change that Europe encountered during Napoleons time, was led by him, and no one else. Napoleon was the first person to stand up for what he believed in, and not just talk about it, but actually make it happen. He was also, a tactician, he often fought at the front, endangering his own life, when he could have very easily sent his troops out to fight, while he sat back and watched. He was not only brave, but also very succesful as well, he accomplished two years of school at once, which really helped him get ahead of things when it came to his future. Although he was defeated in Waterloo, he won many battles as well, such as the battle of Moscow, he also conquered most of Europe. If that's not success, then I' don't know what is.

Napoleon Bonaparte was the best person alive during the French Revolution. He did many things that benefited France. They have carried on and still impact us today. When Napoleon was young he went to military school. That’s why he grew up the way he did.
Napoleon always wanted to be a leader. The first great thing Napoleon did was taking over the Directory and becoming First Consul. The Directory was corrupt and unfair. They took bribes easily. Later Napoleon became First Consul and then he made himself the Emperor of France. He wanted things done his way.
Napoleon was a great fighter. He fought so many battles and won most of them. He conquered most of Europe except Great Britain. He had a lot of pride in his country. Because he won so many battles it made the people of Europe have pride in their country also. By that he influenced nationalism. Napoleon also created a French Empire and made himself the emperor.
One of the reasons Napoleon was the best leader was because he tried to help the causes of the French Revolution. He took ideas from the Enlightenment. The philosophers like Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu argued for change. Napoleon made the Napoleonic Code. It was more legit because it was written down. It made individuals more equal under the law and let citizens have more rights, such as religion and occupation opportunities. Another cause of the Revolution was the unfairness of the Old Regime. So Napoleon made the estates more equal. All the citizens had to pay taxes, not just the third estate. Napoleon also helped solve the financial crisis by created inflation. Napoleon also created a national bank.
Some people claim that Napoleon was selfish and only cared about himself; that wasn’t true. If Napoleon only cared about himself he wouldn’t have took a risk and fought at the front of the line in battles. Napoleon took lots of risks although some didn’t benefit France in the ways he thought they would; for example the Continental System. He was trying to prevent trade with the British because he was angry that they were not part of his empire. Napoleon also created public schools. They were called lycees. He created the schools because he wanted France to have a stronger military in case someone tried to defeat them.
Napoleon did many great things in making France a better place. He wanted to strengthen his army so France in general would be stronger. Napoleon’s hard work made him a great leader. He was confident, studied war, and went to school. That’s what made his so successful!
