Was Louis Riel a hero? I think that Louis Riel was a hero because he really treasured his people and protected him in any way he could. He had many accomplishments in life like how he learned many languages and he was seen as the guy who many people thought would lead them to freedom. When the surveyors were being rude and invading their land like it wasn’t even there‚ he stopped them from passing by his cousins land. He also created a provisional government which was a threat to Britain

I feel as if Louis riel does not even deserve to have a trial right now. He is a good man and violence was his last option‚ Thomas Scott was undeserving. All the curses and mentality he had was un-needed on this earth. Louis Riel is needed though‚ he has saved the Metis and First nations many of times. He came back to them and they could rely on him‚ he never went out of reach for them. And yes‚ we all know he was in mental hospitals‚ and people did think he was crazy but Louis has never shown anything

comic book in terms of visual style‚ proposes isolation as an encompassing theme primarily surrounding the protagonist Louis Riel. For instance‚ in the first two panels of the strip‚ although Louis Riel is being spoken to‚ he is the only figure in the scene so as to be directly “apart from others” as the definition of isolation refers to. Moreover‚ within these two panels‚ Louis Riel’s back is even to the unknown figure speaking which further illustrates the message of separateness and also potentially

Louis Riel was born in the Red River Settlement in 1844. He was a promising student. He was sent to Montreal to train for the priesthood when he was 13. Because of his father’s premature death in 1864‚ Riel lost interest in the priesthood and he withdrew from the college. An attempt at training as a lawyer ended similarly‚ and by 1868 Riel was back in the Red River area. Ambitious‚ well educated and bilingual‚ Riel quickly emerged as a leader among the Metis of the Red River. In 1869-1870 he

of the uprising is Metis leader‚ Louis Riel. The voice of his people‚ the Father of Manitoba‚ the beginning of acceptance in a newly founded land‚ Louis Riel should be considered a Canadian hero because of his firmness‚ persistence‚ and action of introducing multiculturalism to Canada. To re-establish my point‚ a hero is one who betters the society selflessly‚ or even at the cost of their own wellbeing; Riel fits seamlessly within said definition. Primarily‚ Riel is firm in the face of injustices
