Hi there, Bernecia from Monica's group here! I can relate to the hyphenated life. I myself am of mixed heritage by blood. My parents both are from Guyana, South America, although describing my heritage as Guyanese seems to be an inadequate way of explaining who I am in terms of race. I can relate very easily to the whole idea of the Hyphenated Life, and I love how our short stories, such as "Broken Teeth," demonstrate the gap between the first generation Canadians and the previous generation. Personally, I think because of the amazing diversity Canada contains within its borders, the cultural diverseness defines our national identity as Canadians.
