Canadian Life Writing – Pick a topic

1. Autobiography is usually defined as a text written by a person about his or her own life. However, Bertha Carr

Harris in Lights and Shades of Mission Work and Emily Carr in Klee Wyck also provide considerable information about
social contexts in their time, including aspects of missionary work. Compare how missionary work and missionaries are
viewed by each writer, and identify several factors that may explain the difference in their points of view. To
support your analysis, please refer to at least two articles on each author, and one historical reference to
missionary work in Canada.

2. Heather Kirk’s fictional biography of Mazo de la Roche and de la Roche’s autobiography both examine de la Roche’s
early years. Analyse and explain how the difference between the biographical and the autobiographical perspective
changes how the information is presented. Use at least one article on the concepts of autobiography and biography,
and two articles on de la Roche to provide background or conceptual information for your essay.

3. Gabrielle Roy and Emily Carr both struggled throughout their lives to gain a sense of self-validation as women
artist/writers, and this is evident in their autobiographical works. Compare their strategies for defining themselves
as writers/artists. How do these strategies connect to the particular issues each writer/artist faces? To supplement
your analysis, please refer to at least one articles on the historical context in which each author is writing, and
one article on each author.
