    Writer's Responsibility

    Atwood describes Canadians as an audience that wants to be entertained by writers, giving readers a distraction from reality and the truth. How an author is appraised is not based on their message but on their ability to entertain. Atwood describes a writer as someone who writes what is being seen and experienced in the world. Atwood then focuses the attention on Canada compared to other countries where writers are suppressed in means of what they can say and how they can say it, opposed to Canada, which is more accepting to people’s opinions and styles as long as the message does not focus us too much on the world around us. Atwood reminds readers that Canada has not always been the Canada it is today known for its civil rights. She then continues with describing how Canadian writers are currently being constrained and how it is not seen as of any importance.…

    It described the moments of first contact and the discovery of Canada by the European adventurers. These were during the times of Jacques Cartier’s last and rather tragic attempt to colonize Canada. This first contact was described in ways in what did Canada meant to European adventurers and what did Europeans meant to the country’s original habitants and the clash between these two groups; neither of them recognized each other as human. Nevertheless, he associated religion, sex, and revenge in building an image of this newly discovered country or the “New World.” While excerpts of the story are loosely based on facts, the author’s language of conviction has somehow made the story more vivid and looks like more true to life. The author practiced his freedom of expression by choosing to portray such part of history through a work of fiction.…
