the shivering tree主題是什麼?(Nanabush)酆軒真耘豪 2020-07-07

A modern retelling of an aboriginal origin myth by a First Nations Canadian from Northern Ontario,this tale combines elements of archetypal human vanity and self-deception with moral questions relating to personal challenges and honesty。The story revolves around a basic conflict between Nanabush,the Trickster of First Nations mythology,and the evil Juggler,a conjuror who is also known as Restless As The Wind - a conflict that will appeal to senior students because of the many bizarre elements and the intriguing consequences of this epic battle。“The Shivering Tree” itself refers to the Poplar Tree,a tree that never rests,which is a reincarnation of The Juggler。A perfect piece for students to revisit the form and style of a myth as a basis for the origin of short stories themselves!

一個安大略省北部加拿大原住民的起源神話的現代複述,這個故事結合了典型的人的虛榮心和自我的有關個人誠通道德問題的挑戰和欺騙成分。故事圍繞著一個叫Nanabush裡基本衝突,原住民神秘魔術師和一個也被稱為風不寧的邪惡魔術師之間的衝突。“發抖的樹“本身指的是楊樹,這棵樹從來沒有休息,就像魔術師的輪迴。
