English 180 - Canadian Literature


8 April 2005

Discussion Question: Discussion topic: The Englishman's Boy

There's a lot of discussion in the novel, some of it quite subtle, about the difference (or lack of difference) between Canada and the US, or between Canadians and Americans. What did you make of that in the novel? What scenes struck you as most interesting in this regard?

Given all the things you've read so far in this class, do you see any differences between the countries and its peoples?
