Did Attitude Shape Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie Success as

Back in the 1830s when it was unimaginable to journey for months to a foreign country so uncultivated two nave sisters did honest that. The Backwoods of Canada is a straightforward, realistic account complied of letters written tooshie home of Catharine Parr Traills first years in Canada. Roughing It in the shrub is a witty, autobiographical memoir written by her younger sister, Susanna Moodie. Their military strength to becoming pioneers was shaped by their dispositions and circumstance. Catharines attitude is one tranquility acceptance and is reflected in her no-nonsense paternity, whereas Susannas attitude first appears to yield an edgier, less optimistic outlook on her new homeland, but she covers it up with a dry sense of humour in style and conference when reflecting on her Canadian experience.Upon examination, we first must look at the sisters temperament and attitude towards manners. Their attitude on aliveness comes out in their writing and we can sense how they w ould perceive their new homeland, Canada in the 1832. Catharine, the elder by 23 months was considered to be the sweet-tempered and placid, was her fathers favourite child, and Susanna, the youngest, was the impulsive and difficult one, with a wicked sense of humour (Gray, 17, 18). Both sisters traits are distinctly exposed in their approach to starting a new life in Canada. Even before moving to Canada, it was Susannas passion for life and her new baby that energized Catharine and Thomas to get involved, get matrimonial and to emigrate with Susanna and her family, but it was Catharines methodical calmness that got Susanna through the valleys and peaks in actually moving to Canada ( 48).Catharine and her husband were at an advantage over her sister when they first arrived in Canad... ...arine wrote with a no-nonsense positive style to advocate women embarking on immigrating to Canada. Susanna wrote with humour and frankness to cover up her disgust and discomposure and to war n genteel women of the hardships of becoming pioneers. After researching these two sisters biographies, I pass that they both had fortitude beyond what I would be able to outlast if I were in either of their shoes. Works CitedParr Traill, Catharine.
