To determine, he did not like to be enlisted in residential school and was not enthusiastic about learning English. Demonstrated when Niska says to Xavier “’I came to ask if you would prefer leaving [residential school] and going into the forest to live with me.?’ [Xavier] did not hesitate ‘Yes, Auntie’” (Kimotowin Stealing 8). Xavier, much the same as Niska needed to proceed with his legacy and keep talking his own particular dialect, for which reason he got away from the school. Proceeding on, Xavier was extremely affectionate towards Lisette and trusted she felt the same way. In spite of the fact that, he discovers her with another man acknowledging she was only a prostitute and feels to a great degree bamboozled. Elijah knew this and said to Xavier “’You went to find [Lisette], didn’t you. I could have saved you the trouble and told you she was a whore, but you would have not listened’” (Ishinakwahitisiw Turning 20). Xavier was exceptionally harmed on the grounds that he genuinely adored that young lady and was sexually dynamic with her. His yearning for adoration was gone, and he did not get involved with another lady from that point. Proceeding onward, Xavier was longing to secure Elijah in every circumstance. He needed to ensure he was constantly sheltered, for which reason he could never allow him to be alone. Despite the fact that, towards the end of the war Xavier acknowledges Elijah is not the same individual any longer and has gone insane. Xavier says to Elijah “’You have gone mad. There is no coming back from where you’ve travelled’…. [Xavier] leans all of [his] weight down across the riffle. Elijah begs with his eyes…. the rifle in [Xavier’s] hands sinks down and [he] feels through the stock the collapse of [Elijah’s] windpipe under the rifle’s pressure. He goes still” (Nipiwin Dying 9-10). Xavier executes Elijah due to his activities and

    Moreover, there are three primary symptoms involved in the diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD (Anxiety and Depression Association of America). Joseph Boyden uses the correlation between these two concepts to create a symbol which represents Xavier’s struggle to reconcile the violence he both committed and experienced during the great war. From the beginning of the book, the idea of of taking a human life makes Xavier’s “stomach churn”(Boyden 88). In order to placate these uprising feelings of unease, Xavier often reminds himself that the dying soldiers who surround him will soon be “with the spirit who will take [them] on the three-day road”( Boyden 98). This exemplifies Boyden’s use of three as a symbol of his character’s conscious efforts to cope with the incredible trauma he suffers.…

    The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a novel that diverges from the customary standards regarding format of how a novel is written. McCarthy tends to ignore the usage of quotations and apostrophes and also writes in a splintered fashion especially in the beginning of the book adding the tone of minimalistic times. He never reveals the name of the characters and only refers to them as The Boy and The Man as it is written in third person omniscient though it often seems as if the novel was written in first person which adds to the idiosyncrasy of the novel. On the contrary The Road is extremely detail oriented which immensely contributes to the overall theme and tone of the book in addition to putting the reader in the characters shoes. The Road is a fiction piece about a post apocalyptic desolated world centered around a boy and a man trying to fight through constant fear and inhumane…

    Identity determines the qualities and beliefs that distinguish or identify a person or thing. Going back into Canadian history, the children of the Indigenous community were taken from their families and placed in residential schools where they were forced to follow Christian traditions, forbidden to practice their own. As years went by, the Indigenous children adapted to the culture of the ‘white man’ country, forgetting where they came from and leaving their roots behind. Joseph Boyden uses the character of Elijah in his novel Three Day Road to illustrate the theme of identity loss through literary devices such as personification, irony and symbolism. Personification is assigning human attributes to non-human things and is a literary technique…

    Religion in The Road In The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, one of the most recurring themes is religion. Although it is an underlying theme, it is also one of the most critical. The author tries to show that even in a post-apocalyptic world, where everybody has nothing, and things are beyond tough, religion has a way of coming back so people have hope, and somewhere to put there faith into.

    Emersons' third maxim says, "Nothing is at least sacred, but then integrity of your own mind." In other words, the strength of our thoughts and our beliefs is what is most important to each and every individual. The theme that is projected within this statement is that a person's thoughts, opinions, and beliefs have more value than what they may possess materialistically. This theme is not only said in Emerson's maxims, but also in the play called The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail that contains many characters that project the message and lesson of this theme.…
