    The literary works of two Canadian authors can often be place under a microscope where the similarities of their works become very apparent. The writing styles tend to have many aspects in common. The short story “Cornet at Night” by Sinclair Ross is very similar to “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod. They are similar in not just one but in many ways. The two literary works share many aspects between them. These aspects extend over a wide variety of topics. These aspects are used by the authors in both short stories to help develop the plot and deepen the story. The most comparable of these aspects are the theme, setting and the diction that is used.…

    The English 198 Syllabus

    • 327 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The English 198 syllabus is divided into multiple, well-defined sections that provide the reader an easy way to find the class’ core goals, policies, and assignments. It explains that English 198 is a “writing intensive course,” meaning that its primary focus is to improve writing skills through the completion of various written assignments. These assignments will not only build writing skills, but will also test comprehension of material and other critical interdisciplinary skills that will be of vital importance in the years here at the University of Tennessee and in the work force. As the class is “writing intensive,” students should expect to write no less than 5000 words over the course of the semester. Along with the written assignments,…

    Writer's Responsibility

    • 261 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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.…

    What is it that grade 12’s learn in English class in the country of Canada? The one thing that is not taught is Canadian literature. All across Canada, grade 12’s are being taught Shakespeare and other American or British playwrights. Sure the writings are excellent pieces, but how are they relative to our Canadian Heritage? This essay will prove that graduating students must be taught only Canadian literature in grade 12 rather than the aspects of American and British literature. There are great writers from all different cultures, despite this, as Canadians we must remain intent on learning the literature of our own country. Out of the various reasons for teaching only Canadian literature in grade 12, there are three main reasons that everybody should understand. The three reasons are; to assist students in becoming more familiar with the country they live in, to promote and establish our own Canadian writers, and to encourage the younger Canadian authors.…
