Borders by Thomas King


    Personally to me ethnicity is more important because I am proud to be Mexican even though I was born in The United States. I also think that because throughout my whole childhood I was taught to speak Spanish and celebrate the Mexican customs which i love. Also because I feel proud of what Mexico as a country has accomplished.
                                                                            
Canada is a place with many different type of climates. The magority of the land in Canada is covered in snow which means that it is a place with very cold temperature. It is also a place with a wide range of topography such as beautiful mountains and even some nice green landcapes.


                         The story Borders was about a little canadian boy and his mom. They were traveling by car to go see the little boy's sister in the United States which meant that they had to cross the United States border. When they were at the border an officer asked the mother if she was canadian and she kept on saying that she was blackfoot and the officers said..Canadian?, but she refused to say she was Canadian. The officers then were growing impatient. The boy knew that he could have just told the officeres that they were Canadian but he thought that his mother might have gotten mad at him for saying he was Canadian.
