As homesteaders, hunters, miners and cattle ranchers flooded onto the Plains, they not only came into conflict with the Plains Indians who already lived there, but also with each other. This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

As a "bad" badman, a threat to the moral order, the Kid had to die so that civilization-repre­ sented by Sheriff Pat Garrett-could advance. This formula of conflict and resolution by death can be detected in dime novels and early magazine accounts, which dwell on the Kid's unheroic appearance and bloodthirsty char­ acter. After a period of meager interest, by the mid-1920s a quite different figure was being molded by biographers and film makers. This was the prototypical "good" badman, one who personifies a kind of idealism. In Walter Noble Burns's key biography in 1926 and in a 1930 film, the Kid becomes a redeemer who helps small farmers.

MCGRATH Faculty of Foreign Studies Nagoya Gakuin University Abstract Critics agree that Joy Kogawa’s Obasan is a work charged with a powerful spirituality. This paper attempts to analyze that spirituality by identifying elements of Christian Incarnational theology as well as Shinto materiality. An understanding of Kogawa’s unique blending of these elements helps the reader to understand the protagonist Naomi’s moments of enlightenment in the final pages of the novel. Keywords: Kogawa, Obasan, Incarnational theology, Shintoism, materiality, Japanese Canadian history Joy KogawaのObasanにおける Anglican Incarnationalismと神道の物象主義 ポール D. マグラス 名古屋学院大学外国語学部 発行日 2015年3月31日 ― 33 ― 名古屋学院大学論集 Joy Kogawa’s first novel, Obasan (1981), deals with the painful dispersal of the Japanese Canadian population of British Columbia into the interior of Canada during World War II. It sets the story of one young girl, Naomi, against the larger picture of the community’s dispersal. Naomi’s story is particularly painful because it involves her permanent separation from her mother, who had traveled to Japan just before the evacuation emergency brought on by Pearl Harbor.
  • Addition to Summer Letter

    Addition to Summer Letter

    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • “On Being a Woman Writer”: Atwood's Canadian and Feminist Contexts

    “On Being a Woman Writer”: Atwood's Canadian and Feminist Contexts

    “On Being a Woman Writer”: Atwood’s Canadian and Feminist Contexts Heidi Slettedahl Macpherson When you begin to write you’re in love with the language, the act of cre- ation, with yourself partly; but as you go on, the writing—if you follow it—will take you places you never intended to go and show you things you would never otherwise have seen. I began as a profoundly apolitical writer, but then I began to do what all novelists and some poets do: I began to describe the world around me. (Atwood, Second Words 15) Margaret Atwood began her writing career at a time when Canadian literature did not have a clearly established canon or identity. In fact, she has been credited with helping to “invent” Canadian literature as a critical concept, both because she herself is a proli¿c poet, novelist and short story writer, but also because she has published books of literary and cultural criticism throughout her long career. As she noted in the early 1970s, “Until recently, reading Canadian literature has been for me and for everyone else who did it a personal interest, since it was not taught, required or even mentioned (except with derision) in the public sphere” (Survival 13). That attitude has clearly changed, not only be- cause of Atwood’s own position as a very important cultural icon, but also because of the preeminence of contemporary Canadian writers on the world literary stage. Atwood’s contemporaries include Alice Mun- ro, Carol Shields, Margaret Laurence, and Marian Engel, among oth- ers; Joan Barfoot and Michael Ondaatje are only a few years younger than she is.
