I Heard the Owl Call My Name
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Margaret Craven's I Heard the Owl Call My Name (1973). This story concerns a young priest, Mark Brian, whom the reader learns immediately has a terminal disease that will kill him within three years. This information is kept from Mark by his Bishop who sends him to his hardest parish, a New Zealand Indian village, so that the young man may learn as much as possible in the short time remaining to him. As this indicates, the story is set up as a hero's journey that presents Mark involved in a quest for self-knowledge and growth. Examination of Craven's novel shows that the author emphasizes this underlying purpose by structuring Mark's story as if it were, itself, a native legend. No additional sources cited.

Intranation -- Patricia Grace’s “Potiki” and Eden Robinson’s “Monkey Beach”
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses novels written by Patricia Grace (“Potiki”) and Eden Robinson (“Monkey Beach”). In “Potiki,” the reader is able to see one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols. In the process, the relationship between people and the land they live on is shown to have greater ties than can be imagined by the “typical” urbanite. Likewise, “Monkey Beach” demonstrates that there are people whose greater loyalties are more directly related to the mystical connections that exist for some people in what are most often dismissed as the ordinary occurrences of daily life. Both novels explore the idea of the existence of intranations in the modern world and the ideologies of the residents of those intranations. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
