Reseña del libro "Stories as the Marker of One's Identity in Janice Kulyk Keefer's the Green Library: Value of Stories in a Person's Life (en Inglés)"

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Proseminar: Identities in Ukrainian-Canadian Literature, language: English, abstract: In Janice Kulyk Keefer's The Green Library, it is Eva Chown, a forty-three year old middle class woman living in Canada, who tries to find her Ukrainian identity within herself through stories.

They can be true for everybody or they can only be true for the person telling them. As Dan P. McAdams, Ruthleen Josselson, and Amia Lieblich put it in their book Identity and Story: Creating Self in Narrative "We are all storytellers, and we are the stories we tell." (3) Furthermore our "[...] identities are the stories we live by." (McAdams, Josselson, Lieblich 4) In the beginning of the paper the concepts of story, history, and identity, which are relevant for the theses, are briefly defined. It will be analysed which impact stories can have on the life of a person and various examples from the Green Library will be discussed. Since 'Eva' is the protagonist of the novel the paper will very often be concentr
