Carol Daniel, who was born in the Regina had later turned out to be the touring artist
in Saskculture. A semi-autobiographical note under the name of ‘Bear skin diary’. Lori had
been taken from the sixties scoop. The literary piece is primarily concerned with the
disposition of the character who is caught in their own world. Her world is preoccupied by
