Hello<\/strong>! If you are reading this you have found my blog, Canadian literature studies. A place of observations, discoveries, comparisons, and hopefully some interesting pieces of writing! As for myself, my name is Leana and I am a 4th year English language major at UBC. When I’m not spending every waking moment studying or reading copious amount of course work, I like to practise yoga, dance ballet, and travel the world. I also spend time volunteering at the\u00a0Britannia Homework club<\/strong><\/a>, assisting high school aged students with their reading and writing skills.<\/p>\n

This blog is in response to the course English 470 Canadian Studies, instructed by Dr. Erika Paterson. We will be reading and analyzing historical Canadian literature \u00a0and assessing their impacts on Canadians. More specifically, we will focus on the similarities, differences, and intersections between Indigenous and European traditions of literature here in Canada. I am excited to read both types of literature, mostly because I have not read many Indigenous pieces of writing and am not accustomed to the style or popular stories. I hope to also weave in historical factors into my analysis of the readings because I believe that history is very important in understanding relationships in many literature works ( for example, the colonial relationships between Canadian First Nations and Europeans during the fur trade).<\/p>\n

Canadian studies is a broad title that encompasses a multitude of things throughout Canada. For myself, this Canadian studies course should incorporate the historical relationships between Europeans and Indigenous peoples, a diverse range of Canadian people’s feelings and opinions over certain topics or issues throughout history, and the political\/social reactions to select Canadian literary pieces.<\/p>\n

Finally, I came across this blog<\/strong><\/a> by a man named Aaron all about Canadian literature and I thought I would share! Its easy to read, informative, and can even be helpful for those students pulling a all-nighter right before a Canadian literature exam! Check it out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
