I find this GGRW hyper-text project to be really interesting because there are many allusions in Green Grass Running Water. I can understand why Professor Erika is mainly using this one text. It allows us to find the various and diverse allusions that King employs. It is especially helpful for me, since I do not know much about the history and literature of Canada for I was raised in South Korea, in an American curriculum international school.

                Also, I never had a course like this before, using blogs and finding allusions and sourcing other web sites or clips on the Internet. I am, therefore, excited to find allusions and also learn about other allusions that my classmates find and expand my knowledge on Canadian history. Through this GGRW hyper-text project, I would like to examine more in depth the allusions to ‘authority’, ‘rules’, and ‘crossing borders’ portrayed through the conversations of the characters throughout this book.

You linked in 'authority' and 'rules' ... now I wonder what you would find if you extended 'crossing borders' using google scholar and key words like: crossing borders Canadian literature, or crossing borders, Thomas King, or crossing borders First Nations Literature ....
