Title: How does the double meaning of the title help us to understand the central idea in the story?

Theme: Possible subjects in Turtle Island: Native Identity, Native Culture, Childhood, Crime (drugs), Innocence etc. How can we take one of those subjects and turn it into a statement of theme? In your post, state the theme of the story.

Character: Describe how the narrator in Turtle Island changes throughout the story.

Characterization: A reader gets to know a character by considering: 

  • what a characters says about him/herself
  • what a character says about others
  • what others say about a character

Using the narrator of "Turtle Island", consider these three questions above. Are there any differences between how the narrator sees himself and how the reader sees him?

Conflict: How does the story connect the narrator's external and internal conflicts together so that they are presented as one unified story?

Resolution: What happens to the narrator in "Turtle Island" at the end? Do the police shoot him? Why did Joseph Boyden (the author) not give the reader a clear ending?

Irony: Identify a moment of verbal irony in "Turtle Island". Hint: consider some of the things the narrator says about himself, and/or consider what the narrator says about Wolf. What is ironic about the ending of the story? How does this moment help to heighten the tension of the story?

Symbolism: After reading the original Native legend about Turtle Island, consider the symbolic meaning of Frances' pet turtle, Island. Why has Joseph Boyden referenced the legend in the story? How does it help the reader understand the theme of the need to preserve Native identity and culture?
