Hello All!<\/p>\n

Let me introduce myself, my name is Sarah Casorso and I am a fifth year English Literature major. I have very little experience with blogs and I’m pretty sure it actually took me more time to figure out this site than it took me to write this! It is safe to say that this will be a very large learning curve but I am excited for it and to engage in conversation with you guys.<\/p>\n

Besides school, I am also a fifth year UBC varsity athlete playing ice hockey. I mean, what’s more Canadian than that??? (Hopefully I will learn the answer to that question very soon). I grew up in Kelowna on the same orchard that my great-great grandfather settled on in 1883. I have always been extremely proud to be a member of one of the original pioneer families of BC and, because I am a 5th generation Canadian, I considered myself wholeheartedly Canadian. It wasn’t until I moved to Vancouver for school that I realized how sheltered I was to culture and the other aspects of what being a Canadian<\/a> meant. I would, however, still consider myself a stereotypical Canadian taking part very frequently in the old habits of “sorry”, “eh”, eating poutine and taking my beaver out for walks, but I also think I’m growing into a new understanding of what being a Canadian means through new experiences. My hope is that this course will help me down that path.<\/p>\n

This course is about stories of our culture and the stories that we tell ourselves about being Canadian. It addresses the relationship between the construction of our nation and literature while also prodding at our understanding of community and our roots<\/a>. But more importantly where we come from and where we are going. I feel I have been living on the surface of what it means to be Canadian and so I am eager to delve deeper into our history and the stories that tie our nation together.<\/p>\n
