The novel “The Back of the Turtle” by Thomas King is relevant to Canada in both present day and history. Through the setting, characters and theme the story is portrayed in a way that makes it sound like a calamitous prediction for the future of Canada’s treasured natural world. Riddled with corporate greed and environmental disaster, the story follows those involved and affected by the catastrophe that destroyed Samaritan Bay. His lifelike characters are tangled with labyrinthine emotions that add another layer of complexity to the story. In my opinion, the novel “The Back of the Turtle” by Thomas King is a great novel because of the depth of storytelling that the author can achieve, and deserves to be recognised as a “Great Canadian Novel”.

Nature is a very important aspect to many Native Americans, especially in “The Earth on Turtle’s Back” where they value nature to a great extent. On page 20 the author introduces the story with the background about how “they believed that each living thing possesses a unique power that sustains it and affects other”. To further explain this, what they meant was that each living thing has a purpose in nature and that each purpose is very important and help lean to help and affect other. For example in the story the tree affects the people because it was hope for them that it would uproot, and when she falls the seeds she grabs affects the soil because it helped to grow several trees. After bringing the Muskrat to the Great Turtle’s back, to

American literature has evolved greatly from the Native Americans to 1870’s. American literature has changed, it teaches us how we have become more independent ourselves. The World on a Turtle’s Back, a myth, The Scarlet Letter, a book in a puritan setting, and A Rose for Emily is a southern gothic story. American literature would not be the same today without these forms of writing. The teachings from these are passed down generation to generation.

How was Earth created? How were people created? Why was everything made how it was? All of these questions and many more were asked by Native Americans, and so they came up with stories to answer these questions in a way they could understand. Some of these stories include; The Sky Tree, The Earth on the Turtle’s Back, Coyote Finishes His Work, Coyote Steals the Sun and Moon, The Blackfeet Genesis, When Grizzlies Walked Upright, and The Navajo Origin Legend.

As Scott Peek once said, “Share our similarities, celebrate our differences”. Both “The World on the Turtle’s Back” and the“Grandmother Spider Steals the Fire” are different but embrace the differences to display a similar story. “The World on the Turtle’s Back” is a story about how a selfish woman takes the bark off a tree and falls into the world below, through the help of many animals she needs to find a way back or her life will be no more. The “Grandmother Spider Steals the Fire” is a story about how the animals in the east need to find someone that will keep them alive, but the most unlikely hero will be their only chance to save the animal race. The two stories despite the differences, show strong similarities through the relationship between animals and humans, the relationship between humans and spirits, and a shared prevalent theme.

For instance, shortly after Barb blames Janice for their mother’s death, Janice breaks her “prim and proper” (74) attitude and punches Barb in the face as she spills her feelings about their mother: “I grew up wanting to hate this woman, thinking my whole life was her fault… I was all prepared to dislike and pity some old Indian woman that lost me because of alcohol. Instead I find this wonderful, sweet, caring woman… I started to care, Barb, but I didn’t want to care” (101). Furthermore, at the end of the play, Janice finally accepts the fact that Anne is her mother that loved her which can be seen through Janice’s final words in the play to her mother’s grave: “Co-waabmen, Mom, from you daughter, Grace”

He uses the hatching of the turtles as an analogy to describe the nature of life and death. He does this by using numerous verbs that make us feel a sense of urgency, while also making us experience the life- race the turtles are running. Another technique O’Connor uses is how he makes us feel his emotions as they progress throughout the poem. In the beginning when he starts off his poem, he is distant and detached from the scene that plays out in front of him. However, once he starts really watching and understanding, he feels pity for the turtles and sadness on how cruel the cycle of life is. He makes us feel such strong emotions as he uses descriptive metaphors to portray his feelings as they change towards the turtles.
