Abstract
This paper examines E. Annie Proulx?s novel ?The Shipping News?, which describes a modern family who to returns to their ancestral home of Newfoundland. The paper illustrates both the literal and psychological aspects of their new lifestyle and values. The author is critical of the novel, stating that the story is unoriginal without any twist to the theme of enduring the small tragedies of the human condition.
From the Paper
"With this novel, Proulx seems to be providing us with a reworking of that axiom we have all heard: You cannot go home again. Home may be the place that has to take you in when you have to go there, but you will have forgotten how to speak the language, and the food will no longer satisfy you and there will be alarming noises in the night. You may be able to overlook these things for a time, but eventually you will realize that the only way we can live our lives is by stepping each day into the future. One of the tragic elements of much of human existence is the fact that we can only face the future if our back is toward home, and so all progress is in some ways a journey away from home and who we once were.

Abstract
This paper is an examination and analysis of the facts presented by both the American and Canadian investigators regarding the crash of the Arrow Airs DC-8 in December 1985. The paper begins with a recap of the crash and the possible causes that were put forth by both countries which have held to their position that it was caused by ice on the wings of the plane. The author presents evidence that this crash was caused by an explosive device, planted by terrorists and goes into great detail as to the why this theory has been so carefully guarded by both governments. This paper raises several issues about the circumstances surrounding the crash including speculation that this was a deliberate act of terrorism and presents different reports about the events leading up to the plane's departure from Egypt. It also discusses the findings of aeronautical engineers who investigated the findings at the crash site and presents testimony from the government hearings held in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"The 101st division was one of four divisions that made up the Multinational Force and Observers. The purpose of MFO was to operate checkpoints and conduct reconnaissance patrols along the international boundary lines. Every six months the troops were rotated. This was a massive undertaking and involved the cooperation of the Egyptians to insure that the utmost security precautions were taken (Sandford pg). However, from the moment the troops from the 101st were to depart from the Sinai, a sequence of events occurred that were far from normal procedure. Ras Nasrani airport had always been used as the airport of departure for the troops. But at the last minute Army officials were notified that Ras Nastrani airport could not accommodate large planes due to construction being conducted on the main runway. Therefore, the troops were flown by Egypt Air Boeing 737s to the Cairo International Airport."

"The Map", 2005.
This paper discusses the poetic style of Elizabeth Bishop in her poem "The Map".

Abstract
This paper explains that Elizabeth Bishop, who died in 1979 and was one of the most honored poets of her time, illustrates the cold and frozen North of her Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia heritage in her poem "The Map". The author points out that parsing a poem is like dissecting a butterfly to see what makes it flutter: "The Map" is the poet's guide for our imagination; no more; no less. The paper relates that Bishop's physical frail frame expanded in her mind and captured the essence of a land about which she could only dream, but "The Map" is no romantic fantasy rather a shrewd, sparse, straightforward account of the land of the North.
From the Paper
"Poets are, it must be argued, different from novelists or scientists or philosophers, who tend to try to surpass one another. Poets stand alone. They write what they see and what they feel. They owe no allegiance to history. Only the history of their own lives, as it invests their memories, as the Newfoundland landscape must have stirred memories in Elizabeth Bishop. Her voyages are in her poetry. Her ticket stubs are images, torn apart and repaired."

"Leaving Home", 2008.

Abstract
This paper relates that the idea of culture, in David French's play "Leaving Home" reflects the idea of traditional perspectives towards the significance of belonging. The paper explains that French's play focuses on the character of Jacob Mercer, a Newfoundland immigrant who has relocated his family to Canada, who forcibly imposes his native values upon his two sons. The paper then examines how Mercer presents his view of the clash between generations, where the children recognize the opportunity for change and are willing to participate in it while the parent holds tight to the old ways.
From the Paper
"The modern mainstream cultural landscape of Canada is one in which the concepts of shared values overcome cultural limitations (Angus, 21). Yet where Ben and Billy are indicative of the transformation within the mainstream, Jacob represents the fringe cultures; were the play written twenty years later, this would perhaps have been an ironic commentary on French's part, as Jacob is himself an immigrant into Canada and major resistance to the Canadian national project has come from immigrant communities (Chambers, 50). These fringe cultures are formed mainly from immigrants who have purposefully moved into limited geographic areas in order to preserve their cultural identity (Chambers, 50; Mackey, 71). "

Abstract
The following discussion proposes to focus on the demise of the Atlantic cod (gadus morhua). Specifically, and at the urging of the DFO, the discussion will be framed in the context of sustainability. Consequently, initially the concept of sustainable development will be explored. Subsequently, a brief history of the fishery will be presented. This discussion will focus on the last two decades, specifically the crisis that arose in the 1980s and led to the closure of the fishery in 1992 by John Crosbie, the federal Minister responsible, and a Newfoundlander. A concluding section will consider the current fishery (30,000 tonnes in 1998) and its future prospects.

"The Shipping News", 2002.
A discussion of the character of Quoyle in the novel "The Shipping News" by Annie Proulx.

Abstract
This paper examines the book "The Shipping News" by Annie Proulx which tells the story of Quoyle, a man who begins the book naive, buffeted by life and passive, but by the end has earned his place in a small town in Newfoundland. It provides a brief synopsis of the plot and attempts to analyze Quoyle's story from the point of view of a hero's journey and a theory of mythology developed by Joseph Campbell in his book, "A Hero of a Thousand Faces". Campbell states that there are twelve steps that underlie most of mythical story telling which can be applied to every hero of modern literature. It shows how in " Quoyle does undergo the twelve steps of a hero, although in a modern fashion and how his journey is more of self, an internal voyage of discovery than of one of a hero.
From the Paper
"At this point, Quoyle has gained self-confidence, his reward for facing himself, his family history, and his unhealthy continued attachment to his dead wife. He must use this new strength to meet the challenges of his life. His aunt moves out of the house, leaving him to raise the children, so he moves in with Dennis and Beety. He must say good-bye to Nutbeem and he lives through a riotous party, to walk to Wavey's house and glimpse her homey warmth through the window."
