Anne Shirley In "Anne Of Green Gables" – Distinctively Canadian
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Anne Shirley, a true icon in Canadian mythology, achieved her status by virtue of author Lucy Maud Montgomery's authentic portrayal of Prince Edward Island for the world to behold. Because of this global peak into an otherwise quiet community, Prince Edward Island has attracted scores of people from all over the world – most prominently from Japan – to experience a small bit of the literary charm found in Montgomery's classic Canadian tale. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Annie Proulx’s “The Shipping News”
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper discussing identity in this work. In the age in which the term “cop out” was commonly heard, the quest to “find” oneself typically qualified as the ultimate “cop-out.” Too often, it involved resigning from life and abandoning convention in favor of drifting. Proulx’s Quoyle certainly could have taken that route. Rather, he had to carry on with life and so make a series of small discoveries that he would recognize only upon later reflection on the events of his life. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
