After reviewing my past posts about Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, I realized that I learned most about the book from the Feminist Literary Theory. I personally have an appreciation for this particular theory and so I learn best when reading from that point of view, and I found that Niska was the one who was easiest for me to read from.
When reading Three Day Road there are a lot of obvious issues, but one I think really stands out is that Aboriginal's especially aboriginal women are most often portrayed as bold women who don't follow any social construct, and have magical powers. I have yet to hear a story or read anything about an aboriginal woman who was just that: an aboriginal woman.
Another thing that is always thought up about aboriginal women is that they are very sexual creatures. Several times throughout the novel, Boyden tells stories from Niska's narrative about her and the Frenchman having sex, and her emotional attachment to him. He's suggesting that she had sex with him and now she believes that he is going to be faithful to her, which is a fair suggestion, however when she goes to find him and finds out that he has lots of "half-French, half-Indian children running around." (169) she gets mad, and when she finds him he gets her drunk and convinces her that he's done nothing wrong. He then takes her to a church, has intercourse with her inside and then says: "You are nothing special, just another squaw whore. I took your power away in this place and sent it to burn in hell where it belongs." (174). That brings the common portrayal of women in general and her aboriginal origination into play as well.
I feel like women don't really get a fair shot in stories such as this one. Boyden used the same general plot for Niska's love story as a lot of fictional stories go: a woman trusts a man enough to have sex with him, they have a relationship based off of sex with little trust, although she thinks there is and that she can have faith in him, he goes off and does his own thing (most often cheating), she finds out and gets mad, then trashes his things. In Boyden's case he made Niska send animal spirits after the man, which brings me back to how he brought the aboriginal origin into an unoriginal idea.
When examining Three Day Road from a Feminist Literary Criticism point of view, it becomes clear that Joseph Boyden is depicting the mixing of feminine stereotypes and suggesting that women will fall for the same trap every time.
(this is a working thesis, don't judge too hard.)

Blog Post #5: Feminism Literary Criticism in Three Day Road
During the time that this novel was set in (1914-1918) women didn't have a say in anything, whether that be politics, or what was happening in their own home. They were expected to listen to their men whether it be their father, brother, or husband. A women was meant to follow the lead of a man. Joseph Boyden does an excellent job of showing how women were discriminated against and were controlled by men during this time. Throughout the novel he only spoke of three female characters: Niska, Lisette, and "the nurse with the pretty mouth" (376). Although Lisette and the nurse were only spoken about a few times throughout the novel, Niska gets her own point of view through which we see her grow into a strong, capable woman.
Boyden had Niska take Xavier from the residential school and didn't have her really think of what people were going to say about that behind her back, or think when they saw her with a child. "I knew that the old man we walked with wondered about the little boy accompanying me. He knew I was not a mother, but the old man kept his stare straight ahead, his wizened eyes not giving a hint as to what he was thinking." (260) I believe Boyden took a risk with Niska's character then, showing that she doesn't really care what anyone thinks of her as long as she's helping her family.
Earlier on before Niska had Xavier to look after she met a Frenchman who she had chosen for a mate "I realized that this is how I thought of his now, as my mate." (165) who you come to find was really only using her for sexual relations. She didn't want to believe that that was true despite what the Kokum told her about him, that he had "half-French, half-Indian children running around." (169), Niska needed to know for her self which shows her persistence. Once she finds him, he takes her into a church and has intercourse with her saying "You are nothing special, just another squaw whore. I took your power away in this place and sent it to burn in hell where it belongs." (174). It turned out that the only reason he was having relations with her was so that he could take her powers away, making her powerless against him. Boyden wanted to make his point about women in that time by showing that a man would do anything to a woman to make her suffer in the end. It seems quite ridiculous that the Frenchman would waste so much time trying to purify her in a way, he wasted months trying to get to her only to try and take her powers even though that really had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't just Niska who was taken advantage of though. We find that Lisette was actually a prostitute to whom Elijah "paid a lot money for"(257). In her defense she was only trying to make money for herself as their weren't many jobs for women at that time, and since there was a war going on lots of men would be looking for a quick relationship such as that.
Joseph Boyden did a surprisingly well job at showing how women were treated around this time, showing how they suffered in the hands of men and what they did to support themselves.

Blog Post #4: Archetypal Literary Critisism in Three Day Road
Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden does in fact have examples of the archetypal literary criticism in it, yes they were harder to find than some other literary theories, however if you dig far enough into the text you can pull some out. Since the main characters are Aboriginals from around the time of 1914-1918, they do in fact have the qualities of the original Indian, meaning that they believe in the spirit animals and herbs having healing powers beyond the wemistokishiw's understanding. Boyden included some common archetypal figures in his novel, including The Great Mother, and the Trickster. He also included the fundamental plot archetype: the journey.
I would first like to talk about The Great Mother: Niska. By definition, the Great Mother comes in many forms, "The symbols are of this archetype are the Virgin Mary; sometimes one’s own mother; a divine female; an old or ageless woman; the Earth; a blue grotto; the sea; a whale; a cave, a tree. Whatever the image it often contains great religious feeling or spiritual uplift." In this case, the Great Mother takes the form of Xavier's aunt. Boyden somewhat hid the role of the Great Mother within Niska as she grows into the role over time.
The Great Mother is said to have the people around her bring her peace, however in Three Day Road, Boyden has her bring herself her own peace by reaching out to the spirit animals and asking them to do her dirty work for her. After the Frenchman had "took your power away in this place and sent it to burn in hell where it belongs." (174), Niska later finds out that by her wishes, the Frenchman had "flung himself through the window" (176) of a hotel, and died. Thus she gave herself her own peace of mind, knowing that he wouldn't come back to find her, for he was dead.
"The trickster is an alchemist, a magician, creating realities in the duality of time and illusion." I believe that Elijah is the perfect example of a trickster. Throughout the novel Boyden gives Elijah a few traits that suggest is, such as having Elijah give himself a fake English accent to fit in and make the other soldiers laugh.
One quote stood out to me and it literally stated that he was a trickster: "Weesageechak is the trickster, the one who takes different forms at will. Hudson's Bay Company traders could never pronounce it with their thick tongues. But they saw the trickster is the whiskeyjack, the grey jay that loves to hear his own voice, is bold enough to steal food from their hands when they were not watching." (154). Boyden quite accurately sums up the character of Elijah within that one quote.
Joseph Boyden's novel also fallows the archetypal plot. Following from the time when Xavier is young, he grows from being innocent at the residential school, to a sniper in the first world war. His story also begins in a familiar place: his home, and develops to him leaving for war and what his life is like there, the descent into danger comes quickly as the war begins and he starts to fight the Fritz. The battling between the Canadians and the Fritz is considered the battle against monsters. I haven't reached the end of the novel yet, however he is already on his way home throughout the novel, and whether him and Niska make it or not, at least he is no longer in battle.

Blog Post #3: Stereotyping in Three Day Road
There are many issues in the novel Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, however the issue that stands out to me the most is the stereotyping of Aboriginals throughout the novel. Stereotyping is an issue that has been around since the beginning of our race, and unfortunately has continued to be an issue until now and will probably continue for the rest of time. Although some people have broken the stereotypes, ie. blonde scientists or wealthy African Americans, people still tend to treat most Aboriginal people the same way as if they were from the 1900's, wearing tribal clothing and dancing around a fire.
In Three Day Road, despite the fact that Xavier, Elijah, and Niska are from a time where Native Americans would hunt for their food by themselves, they are still stereotyped further in this fiction novel, and I believe Niska is the greatest case of stereotyping out of all of the main characters. Niska's father was the tribes shaman of sorts, and when he was killed by the wemistokishiw his powers went to Niska "After a formal greeting he told me how he knew and respected my father, how he also knew that I was my father's daughter and had inherited his gift." (166).
Niska is from the "Noble Savage" stereotype, "usually possessing some spiritual connection to the land, the Noble Savage (whom American academic Rennard Strickland calls “the first ecologist”) communes in a cloud of mysticism and places no value on material possessions." which is quite accurate to what happens when Niska is summoning animal spirits to see if she still has her powers: "For days I tried to summon the souls of animals to come to me in my tent, but it was as if I'd somehow offended them and I sat there for hours at a time, praying and rocking, burning sweetgrass and searching the blackness for something to show itself to me." (165).
"Indians are “the only population to be portrayed far more often in historical context than as contemporary people.”, an unfortunate fact about Aboriginals. When was the last time you saw a film with an Indian in it who wasn't from a tribe or didn't have some mystical powers? When was the last time you saw an Indian in a film or story that wasn't just a person?
Niska's role also comes with another stereotype: "The most flagrant omission in movies and television is the Aboriginal woman. When she is included, it is most often as a “sexual savage” (who cannot be tamed and must therefore be degraded and eventually conquered)." which I believe is a more dominant issue than the stereotyping of her powers. When the Frenchman that Niska is considering to be her mate leaves her for a time, she goes and finds him in a white-man town, when she finds him he takes her to a church, has sex with her inside, and afterwards says: "You are nothing special, just another squaw whore. I took your power away in this place and sent it to burn in hell where it belongs."(174). She then flees and spends time in her tent where she summons the animals again and asks them to kill the Frenchman, later on she finds out that he committed suicide.
Three Day Road contains a lot of stereotyping of not only Indians, but of the white soldiers as well, however I feel that Niska's character deals with it the most. Stereotyping is a sick thing and it should be abolished from our minds, as all it does is hurt people who are different from ourselves.

ISP Blog #2: Post-Colonialism in Three Day Road
In the novel Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, the three main characters are dealing directly with post-colonial rule of Natives during World War I, and of years before that when Niska was young. Native Americans were oppressed by the wemistikoshiw (white people) from the minute they found out there was life on the soil they planned to take for their own, to this very day, and so far this novel is doing a pretty good job of showing that by giving readers a look into the lives of three different Natives, with different glimpses into their past.
When Niska was a young girl, her family was driven out of their home in the woods because white people were using all of the animals for their own needs, not saving any for the Natives. Once they reached the town of Moose Factory, Niska was soon sent to the school where the nuns were meant to teach her proper English, and give her manners. However, that went South pretty quickly when she didn't obey all of their rules. The nuns cut Niska's long hair just like everybody else's, short and even."They were going to remove the black hair that reached to my waist as a symbol of wemistikoshiw authority, of our defeat." (93). She didn't take that so well, and so one night when she saw her chance, she went and shaved her whole head, having her sent down into a cell where she would be held until her hair was grown. "After a week of talking to no one and of being given a single bowl of porridge to eat each day, I began to have strange visions. Sister Agnes told me that I would not come out until my hair grew back." (93). Soon after, her mother came and broke through the small window of the room, and freed her. However she would always hold hate deep in her heart from the cruelness of the wemistikoshiw.
Xavier experiences the post-colonial rule almost everyday during his time fighting in the war. The first is when him and Elijah are on their way to the war by train, and they are sent to the back Another incident is when Elijah is bragging about he success to all of the other soldiers, he tends to forget that Xavier is actually superior to him "How soon they seem to forget who is the better shot. None of them know that I am the one who taught Elijah what he knows about hunting." (100). Since Xavier doesn't speak English fluently, he finds himself just sitting back and watching and listening to what's going on around him, not speaking and just following Elijah around in the strange place he doesn't understand.
Elijah is a minor character at the point in the novel so far, he's spoken about a lot but you never get to see his point of view. You can tell he is affected by colonialism because although he is Native, he starts to adapt to the ways of the British, first by taking up their accent "To make it all worse, Elijah's taken to talking in an English accent in the last days. This makes the soldiers laugh, but I wonder why he really does it." (77) He also starts lying to impress those around him "He tells jokes and makes the others laugh and brags that he has now killed men, all of them close enough that he could hear them die. But is it the truth? I don't think so." (77). Elijah starts trying to fit in to the new world that he has accepted, making post-colonialism his way of life.
From each characters side of the story, you see how they are adapting, or refusing to adapt to the post-colonial world that they are now living in. Joseph Boyden does an amazing job at showing oppression in each characters stories, giving you a view of what schooling was like, and how Native soldiers were in the war.

First Impressions of "Three Day Road" by Joseph Boyden
The first thing that I would like to point out about this book is the style of writing that the author uses. He chooses to separate the chapters of the novel by switching between the two main characters points of view. One chapter you'll be hearing from Xavier's view, speaking of the war he was just sent home from and his experiences with his friend Elijah, and then Niska, talking about her past and the way that she is feeling about Xavier's current health. I can see the author continuing on with this and having each of them go into more detail of their past lives, then flashing forward to their current state in the story. I believe that later on in the story we will hear in graphic detail about how Xavier lost his leg and about how he became addicted to morphine. Speaking of Xavier, I picture him constantly wearing a Canadian army uniform the entire time, I see him having a young slender face with paler skin than the average Canadian Indian would typically have at that time because of his morphine addiction. I picture Niska wearing kind of a stereotypical Canadian Indian outfit, moccasins and a colorful hide poncho, and long braided dark hair, with an elderly wrinkled face. The images of the two main characters are based entirely on stereotype, but it's exactly what I see. The only puzzle that I am trying to put together about the story at the moment is why Xavier was concerned about Elijah when they were paddling through a forest fire, and Elijah was smiling. I understand why he would be worried because that's not exactly a happy scene to be looking at, but I'm wondering if maybe he will go into detail about something in their past that happened to make him concerned, or if something big is going to happen later on in the story that will bring his worry for his friend to life. This book is giving me a pretty good impression of this author, I believe that he is a realist based on the fact that he, a male author, spoke about Niska getting her period for the first time. Most authors in general wouldn't bring that up in a book yet he spoke about it clearly, and although it kind of plays into the story, it was still a shock to me that a man would actually speak about that. I don't know this author and I have't seen a picture of him, but based on the Native words he uses in the novel and the way that he speaks from the characters point of view makes me wonder if he is Native himself. So far the story is making me realize just how much I appreciate the flip between characters, it just spices things up every once in a while so you aren't reading from the same point of view the whole time like in some other stories. I find that if I hit a boring part in the story that I kind of zone out so I just have to try my best to think that if I get through this part, there will be a much more exciting part to follow.

My Strengths and Weaknesses as an Essay Writer
I believe that one of my weaknesses is that I have a really hard time making myself do multiple versions of an essay to make sure it's perfect. Although I usually end up with pretty high marks anyways I know I could do better if I would force myself to make multiple copies trying different voices and using different points to support my thesis. I'm also really awful at sticking to either past or present tense, I don't know how I do it but almost every time I write I wind up switching between active and passive. One of my strengths however is that I can more often than not find more points on a topic than necessary, so if I ever did change my mind about where I wanted my point of view or if I found that I couldn't make an argument very strong I could just switch it out for a different point. More often than not I find myself reading and writing essays as if I am saying them out loud so I don't think I have much of a problem with voice and I can usually make an essay flow really well unless I'm not into the topic. My biggest weakness is that if I'm not interested in the topic or whatever I'm writing about, I have a really hard time doing a good job of it because I just can't get into it. Other than those things I am pretty good at writing essays, I've always gotten good marks on them however there is always room to improve, which I am hoping to do during this course.

Ehh!
Hey there! I'm Haillee. I don't know how I'm going to find 250 words to describe myself because there really isn't a whole lot to know about me. I'm from Ingersoll, ON and I lived there until I was about ten years old, then my parents divorced and my mom and I moved to Tillsonburg which if you don't know is about a twenty minute drive down the road. We lived there and that's where I went to high school until I was fifteen then my mom moved back to Ingersoll but I stayed in Tillsonburg with my dad to finish up high school.
I really like anything that involves Marvel comics, especially Iron Man and Captain America. I've actually been to a Comic-Con in Toronto where I got to see several actors from The Walking Dead do a panel which was really cool! I never thought I would get to see a celebrity up close let alone people from my favourite show all at the same time. I like all kinds of music but my favourite band right now would have to be The Tea Party (they sound lame, I know), but their genre is actually blues-rock. I definitely recommend checking them out! Some of my favourite songs are Black Roses, The Bazzar, and Fire in the Head. Here's a link to Black Roses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApaxltS7WNI&index=5&list=PLMJ36TVgOxisfrXVE0UfMNmEANO0Dzpqd. I actually went to see them in concert last year as a birthday gift from my dad. He used to listen to them all the time when I was a kid, working on his race car in the garage (my dad is awesome, no need to remind me).
As you might know I'm interested in getting into a career with makeup for film and other forms of media, so here is a picture of me with a burn that I created for Halloween in 2014 for a haunt that my friends and I hosted.
