the diviners how does morags past influence piques life

How does Morag's past influence Pique's life Michael Lo Pique is the
inheritor of French-Indian and Scottish-Canadian roots. She is raised her
mother in Canada and England. However, her growth is affected by
Morag's life style and Morag's past life. There are three events in Morag's
past that affects Pique's life. Morag moves away from Christie when
she goes to college and she rarely comes back to Manawake,"Going to
Winnipeg this fall. To college. And I'm never coming back." She does
not seem care for her stepparents. In certain respects the parent-child
relationship between Morag and Pique resembles the one between
Christie, the Scavenger, "You've never had somebody tell you mother
was crazy between she lived out her alone and wrote
dirty books and had kooky people coming out from
the city to visit?" (P.446) And both, in different ways, attempt to deny
their parents. At one point, Pique, having run away from home, ends up in
a mental hospital in Toronto after "a bad trip","Can't you see I despair
you? Can't you see I want you to go away? You
aren't my mother. I haven't got a mother." (P.111) Furthermore,
Morag does not get married with Jules. When her husband is Brooke
Skelton, she has a sexual relationship with Jules and gets pregnant.
Later, Pique is aware that Jules is her father. Pique has an idea about
why she is different from the others because a typical family should have
a mother and a father, but she comes from a single parent family. When
Pique first meets her father she is at about five years old. Jules sings a
song to Pique which she finds fascinating and meaningful to her. Pique,
at 18, is more mature than her mother at the same age. She loves her
father very much and wants to live with him, however, Morag does not
approve that Pique should stay with Jules, "Why did you have
me?" "For your own satisfaction, yes. You never thought of him
or of me." We are aware that Pique needs care and love from both of
her parents because Morag cannot fulfill Pique's desire. She runs away in
search of what she thinks she is missing all along, which she, herself is

not sure what it is. Later on, she dates Dan McRaith, who is a husband
of Bridie. They have a abnormal friendship between them. As we know
Dan Scranton and Gord are boyfriends of Pique. It is coincidental with
Morag's boyfriend first name is also Dan. These two individuals occurs in
Morag and Pique's life as their names are the same. We do not know
whether Pique has the intention to be a girlfriend of Dan Scranton?
However, we can deduce that Pique is doing the same things as Morag's
past. In conclusion, Pique is made up of the conflicts of her parents with
their separate origins and cultures. She remains mysterious to Morag and
she is closer in her heritage to Jules. Like both parents, she has no
feeling of belonging to any particular group of people. She is divided by
her parents because of her mixed blood. Pique's dilemma shows that her
problem is not simple, nor is it a solution: "what really happened", she
does not belong because she has not yet found her own individual place.
