   For the Canadian novel study section for the english class, I chose English Patient by Michael Ondaatje.

 The main reason for choosing this book is that I suddenly got interested in this book. At first, I wanted to chose Life of Pi, but my friend, William Park, recommended this book for the class. My first reaction was a complete refusal, stating that this book would be no fun to read. However, after reading the summary, I started to think that this book might not be that bad, even though it is a war story.

 Another reason I chose this book is similar to why William chose this book. I thought it had a lot to write and discuss about. It's always good choice to chose books that are worth writing about in English class, so I chose this book for this another simple reason.

 During this section, I hope to learn more about Canadian literature and how it developed over time. SInce North America has shorter history than that of Europe and Asia, I wonder if the literature took form from the settlers' mother countries. However, the gap of Atlantic Ocean must have seperated the way of development of the same literature into taking different forms. Considering these circumstances, Canadian literature section will teach me more about the literature of the country I'm living in.

 For the inquiry question, I may have a question such as "How did the overall setting of this story, having only two people in the hospital, contribute to the story development and character development of english patient and Hana??"
