Essay Instructions: This essay should examine the use Margaret Atwood makes of nature as a positive (or negative) force in the novels 'Cat's Eye' and 'Surfacing'.The theoretical frame for this should be her collection of essays on Canadian Literature; 'Survival'.Margaret Atwood lived in the Canadian Wilderness for a certain period in her youth and still returns to the wild for interviews etc. very often. The question this essay should pose is whether there is a link between Atwood's view on nature and her writing about it. An example of this would be the fact that the main character in 'Cat's Eye' is the happiest at the beginning of the novel when she goes camping in the Wild and later on when she is in a science institute, dedicated to nature.. Survival, either in the wilderness or in other situations in life, is according to Atwood the main theme of Canadian literature. Survival is what makes Canadian literature different from English or American literature.The essay should start out with a short comment on 'Surfacing' and the position of Canadian literature in the world then to zoom in on Atwood and her notion of survival on the whole. From there the essay should give an in depth analysis of he use Atwood makes of nature and to what extent, if at all, she is influenced by her own youth.
The main sources should be the three novels mentioned. 6 other sources should be included of which 3 can be quotes from other works by the author to support the statements (examples;The Hand maids Tale, The Blind Assassin) made,a biography on Atwood will probably be necessary too, in order to see any influences from her earlier years.A works cited page is to be include in the essay.When any problems occur please feel free to contact me.Other essays by Atwood or interviews with her will probably be useful as sources too and they can be used for the remaining sources needed.9 quotations from the three primary sources should be included, with footnotes and at least 6 from the other sources required.

Essay Instructions: Variations on the Word Sleep, by Margaret Atwood.

the intro needs to introduce the paper and tie into the closeing statement, the body needs to be an analitical breakdown of the poam mixed with a personal narritive. the breakdown of the poam should answer two main questions 1) possible meanings of the poam? and your understanding of the poam. 2) how is that meaning conveyed. the breakdown should include how diction, tone, similies, symbolys, title, structure, and theme add to the poam.

to me the poam is almost a love story of some one who wants to be everything for someone but dosent want or need recognition for it. the way the auther uses the term "i" and "you" it seems to be directed to draw the reader into the poam as if to tell the reader thier is some one that is thier for you, and if you read it out loud to some one it like you saying those things to some one else.

in the personal narrative portion please either use it as a first love type of narritive or relate it to my daghter whos 5

Thank you
