The creative work of Kiss Of The Fur Queen is well written by the author Tomson Highway. Tomson Highway is a Canadian novelist, who was born in Manitoba, and Cree is his first language. According to his biography he was once abused by the priests at a residential school. Moreover, Tomson Highway was a social worker and he through the experience he obtained during the years he was a social worker, he transformed the experience into his novel works. Tomson Highway’s experience has a crucial correlation as well as impact on the novel that he has written. For instance, in the creative work of Kiss of the Fur Queen, Tomson Highway has applied his experience while he was at a residential school into this novel. In the Kiss of the Fur Queen, it encapsulates that there are two brothers who are from Cree culture attend the residential school together. In the novel, these two Cree bothers have experienced a similar abused issue at the residential school as well. Thus, Tomson Highway’s personal experience has a critical impact on his creative work. It is succinctly reflected in the Kiss of the Fur Queen, if Tomson Highway was not from Cree culture and did not experience an abuse at residential school, he might not have written a creative work such as Kiss of the Fur Queen. Furthermore, the main characters in the Kiss of the Fur Queen, they have to search for a solution to heal themselves from the abuse experience at residential school. This might also reflects that in reality, Tomson Highway has encountered obstacle in overcoming the impact from the abuse experience. Therefore, Tomson also writes this into the novel, in order to reflects from his own experience.

When I first got the short fiction of “Out on Main Street” by the author of Shani Mootoo on my hands, my attention has been drawn to it’s title. Because I was born in B.C. and undoubtedly Main Street is one of the very iconic areas in Vancouver, therefore, it has caught my sight. Regarding to the context of the book, the author has successfully encapsulates the multiculturalism in regards to the issues of human rights, sexual orientations, and discrimination. The author has illustrated these issues from a setting of an Indian restaurant in Vancouver Main Street, and the fiction reflects these issues through different events that took place in the restaurant. Given that the author himself is a Caribbean Canadian, the author also sees the Canadian society as well as the culture different than the general public.

The novel of the Kappa Child has painted a vivid portrait in regards to the life of Japanese immigrants in Canada, which significantly reflects the challenges as well as obstacles they encounter as immigrants. The novel also places a heavy emphasis on the transformation between reality and fantasy. The author is able to draw connection between present and past as well as reality and fantasy, in regards to the life of the new immigrants Japanese family in Canada. For instance, there is an example of connection between reality and fantasy in the novel. As illustrated critically and realistically with regards to the hardship and failure that the family encounters through the years in Canada, meanwhile the father has fantasy of becoming very healthy as he thinks he owns a field that is fully grown with Japanese rice. Furthermore, the novel has also succinctly demonstrated the idea of “searching one’s own identity.” For instance, in the novel the character is Japanese and has retains a certain level of traditional Japanese culture, however when her family immigrated to the nation of Canada; in order to fit-in to the local culture, she has to learn and accept the local culture and practice. Therefore, as time goes by, she is confused of her self-identity, whether she is considered as a Canadian, or Japanese. The idea of searching and explore the self-identity is a common struggle that has occurred on many immigrants in Canada as well as other foreign nations. It reminds me of the other novel, The Joy Luck Club.

In the reading of Handmaid’s Tale, it has succinctly reflects the issue of women’s authority and role in the society. The novel mentions that The Republic of Gilead has subjugated women for sexual slavery, includes one of the main characters of Offred. However, Offred has strong desire for happiness as well as the right for freedom. Yet, she has experienced many obstacles, when it comes to struggling against the totalitarian restrictions to women in the society. In the reading, it illustrates that the control of reproduction is a critical issue in the society. Moreover, women have lack of rights in the society compared to men. For instance, they are not given the right to vote in political events. Women cannot be a contributing individual in the society, as they are also not allowed to receive advanced education, they are not allowed to read, or have a proper job. In many situations, women are considered as subhuman, as they are only considered as a tool of giving birth, in order to reproduce the next generation. In the novel, there is a scene when Offred lies in the bath, and it reflects that she treats her body as an instrument of the desires, and her task is to have sex with the men for the purpose of reproduction, in order to prove that she is useful and has her living values.

In the film of Juno, it succinctly illustrates one of the most controversial issues in today’s society, which is teen abortion and choice. As mentioned by the film, there are many factors that are affecting the decision of abortion for adolescents.  One of the most crucial factors is the pressure from the society, and the surrounding environment; for instance, especially for high school student like Juno, she has to face even more obstacles as well as stress from the environment. For example, in the movie of Juno, the idea of abortion has treated as a “dirty way,” this might reflects that teenagers or some people might have a negative perspective about this issue. Moreover, in the movie of Juno, there is a scene where Juno was initially planned to do the abortion, however when she arrived to the clinic office, she thought it felt like a dentist’s office, and she did not feel comfortable there; therefore, she gave up the choice of abortion. From my personal perspective, I think this movie didn’t dig really deep into the emotional reaction of how a pregnant teen feels. It is better to deliver a massage of the disadvantages, benefits as well as facts about abortion to the audience, so that the teenagers who watch this film will understand better of the consequence of getting pregnant. Indeed, there film has showed different options other than from abortion, such as adoption or becoming teen parents. Thus, regarding to the issue of teenage pregnancy, there is no model answer when one is deciding which option to take, because everyone has a unique family background and situation. Therefore, the most important element when a teenager is pregnant, she should reach out for help, so that a more mature minded professional individual can provide a more detailed and best suitable option for the teenager.
