Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson is an Indigenous mythology-based story that follows sixteen-year-old Jared as he struggles with his powers, relationships and overall life. The theme of family, specifically the decisions and roles of Jared's family, significantly affects his personal growth. More particularly from the actions of Maggie Moody, Phil Martin and Nana Sophia. Maggie Moody, Jared's mother, affects Jared's morals and how he feels about violence, Phil Martin, Jared's father, affects Jared’s emotional maturity, and Nana Sophia embodies the feelings resulting from the abandonment of a family member. Maggie's violent approach to life has desensitized Jared to violence, making him less emotionally vulnerable since violence requires a lack of empathy.

To start off, with the judge on the brink of failing, Peekay “cast [his] mind back to when [he] had done the judges homework, just like that”

I think it is safe to say that even though Hinduism has many deities, however, they devote themselves to one god. Most people would say that it is contradictory.

The rainbow of colors represent the 330 million deities and the one white light represent the single divine essence, in other words, “Brahman”. To better understand the analogy, according to the lesson it states, “These, gods, of course, are manifestations of Brahman…the gods permit a personal relationship between an individual worshipper and the divine via a particular deity” (Lesson 3, Page 15, Para. 5).

Seamus Heaney uses a forced to grow up theme, and this type of theme helps the reader understand why Heaney is acting the way he is. Being treated like an adult out of the blue, and during a difficult time, can overload someone to a point where they are withdrawn from their surroundings. “By old men standing up to shake my hand, Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest” (Heaney stanza three and four), he is uncomfortable with being the center point for everyone. These strangers see Heaney as an adult, he is the eldest, and doesn’t show any strong emotional sadness during this difficult time for a family, so these people are also seeing him as the strongest member. He is also seen comforting his mother, which will support the idea of him
