Canadian amateur geologist from New Brunswick who had merely a grammar school education but became one of the first to find a major type locality for a very important Precambrian fossils-the masterstrokes. He went by George Frederic Matthew and he lived from 1837-1923 (Age 86).

The theme of the biography could be that, at the time he lived, during the latter part of the Industrial Revolution, it was common for men to have wide interests and in fact his work was as a customs agent but he became a very good amateur paleontologist by applying himself to that subject especially in the field. In the account I read it says, "Employed as a customs agent, and not as a paleontologist, he was never able to pursue any single field of paleontology with the resources available to his colleagues" As well as describing the Archaeology acadiense masterstrokes he also found many Cambrian fossils. this showed how it is not necessarily formal training and being from a prosperous family that determines how good a natural scientist is, But really how passionate they are about their job.

Hope this helps! :3

Story/ Book: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Theme: Betray vs. Forgiveness

Explanation:

The story the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is simply a remake or representing the story of the betrayal of Judas to Jesus but in a different story to explain it in different terms. The theme is Betray vs. Forgiveness of the story listed: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe because Edmund decided to follow the White Witch over Aslan. The White Witch is known as or representing the Devil and Aslan is the almighty Christ. He gets distracted by the White Witch giving him Turkish Delight.

Edmund was willing to betray his own family in exchange for power. This is representing a story in the bible of when The Devil was once known as Lucifer before he betrayed The Angels and The Christ. He wanted power instead of following his family of leaders.

Edmund then returned to his family and gave up the power he was looking for that wasn't necessary. Unfortunately the Devil never returned. In the story this event creates the theme of betrayal and forgiveness.
