Comparing Willowdean's Connection To Illéa

Loss of loved ones was another, besides losing her daughter she also lost her husband and only son as it is mentioned in the play. The character all seemed to have their own point of view when it came to meeting Janice (Grace), Anne was excited, Barb seemed like she was trying to put her down with saying she was coming because of the money her mom won. Rodney just seemed happy for Anne. The play was written by Drew Hayden Taylor he has written many book that have to do with Canada and Aboriginals. To me the reason the author wrote about this story was so that people could get an idea of a feeling about the 1950’s and 1960’s scoop-up children, and how some of those children led live that had nothing to do with their cultures. Overall I thought the play was good i just didn’t like how it ended with Janice (Grace) leaving when her mother just wanted to meet her and spend time with her. This is a play where you kind of want to know what happens to all the characters after Janice (Grace) leaves. What with Anne do with the money, Will Janice return to see her mother again, and with Rodney and Barb become a better couple. I would say that this play would be for anyone who cares about Canadian drama or topics that have to do with Aboriginal history in

Sammy’s rash decision to quit was an attempt to escape, live a new and exciting life, but falls short when the girls leave him behind and reality slaps him in the

This book is similar to Amanda Hockings other books but that is a given. For some mysterious reason this book reminds me of the Frozen. As in the movie with a singing snowman even though there isn’t any singing or snowmen. Bryn reminds me a lot of Elsa. They both are strong independent female lead who both are outcasts but wanting to be respected. They are looked down upon because they’re both quite unique. Elsa having powers and Bryn being a half breed. The both of them shut out people they love because they think they’ll get distracted or hurt.

The book is told through varying points of view. It is mostly Lena and Aubrey, but there are a couple scatterings of Charlie and memories thrown in for good measure. I know that may
