8 Great Stories of Canadian Culture and Heritage5
This is a book I chose for a Grade 13 English ISU up here in Toronto. This book is in essence, about the developing process of a young female writer, Margaret Laurence, portrayed in this book as Vanessa MacLeod.

I found the story entitled "The Loons" was the most interesting, it dealt the Native Indian issue of segregation and compared it with the crying of the loons.

A Bird in the House: A Great Canadian Book5
This book was given to us to read as a part of the Grade 12 English class in Ontario. I wasn't sure I'd like it because short stories are not my favorite kind of story. I was suprised to find that I enjoyed the book. The characters are so real and vivid. Her depitcions and everything about each of them was very good.

The best story is the Half-Husky. It has good description and the plot is very well laid out and developed.

Great. Proud to be Canadia5
