Intranation -- Patricia Grace’s “Potiki” and Eden Robinson’s
“Monkey Beach”
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses novels written by
Patricia Grace (“Potiki”) and Eden Robinson (“Monkey Beach”). In
“Potiki,” the reader is able to see one community's response to
attacks on their ancestral values and symbols. In the process,
the relationship between people and the land they live on is
shown to have greater ties than can be imagined by the “typical”
urbanite. Likewise, “Monkey Beach” demonstrates that there are
people whose greater loyalties are more directly related to the
mystical connections that exist for some people in what are most
often dismissed as the ordinary occurrences of daily life. Both
novels explore the idea of the existence of intranations in the
modern world and the ideologies of the residents of those
intranations. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Jane Urquhart/The Stone Carvers
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page essay that examines the role of art in Urquhart's best-selling Canadian novel The Stone Carvers. The writer argues that art is what motivates personal experience and expression for the principal characters. Art is their refuge and, then finally, art provides a means to heal the awful trauma of war and loss. While this theme (or theory) of art is prevalent, Urquhart also uses the medium of her novel to present art as intrinsic to what it means to be human, a medium by which the human soul endeavors to achieve the transcendental.

Lori Lansens’ Novel “Rush Home Road”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper reviewing and discussing elements of Lori Lansens’ Canadian novel “Rush Home Road”. Lori Lansens’ first novel, “Rush Home Road” is about the story of Adelaide (Addy) Shadd, a seventy-year old black women living in a trailer park, Lakeview, about twenty miles south of Chatham, Ontario near Lake Erie. Addy however did not live there all of her life but was born and raised in nearby Rusholme (“Rush Home”) which was a predominantly black community settled by former slaves smuggled into Ontario through the Underground Railroad. The novel is split into two stories which eventually come together in the end. The primary story is about Addy’s life growing up through hard circumstances in Rusholme, Detroit and Chatham while the secondary, or present day story, tells of Addy’s life in the trailer park while she takes care of a five-year old girl, Sharla Cody, who was abandoned by her “white trash” mother. Sharla is of mixed parentage which is how the two storylines come together in the end with Addy ending up again in Rusholme and inadvertently finding Sharla’s father. The novel fulfills several purposes. Firstly, from a Canadian perspective, Lansens has including many historical elements which add to the experiences of Addy while at the same time educating readers. Second, readers from Southwestern Ontario and especially those who grew up along the St. Clair River will enjoy many of the same childhood stories as did the author and Addy. Finally, from an international perspective, the story of Addy is appealing to all as it involves the story of a “hero” who has to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to finally return home.
