I remembered the novel by Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur entitled Letters from an American Farmer (1782) in which he describes the same topic in the colony of Pennsylvania (later the U.S.A) - a story about immigrant life in the North American colonies. Even though the two writings deal with the same topic and were written under similar political circumstances (both writers lived in British North American Colonies when they wrote their novels) they seem to have a complete opposite perception of the new land and its chances. The goal of this paper is to outline what these differences are and how they can be linked to their cultural and literary traditions. I wish to outline how both authors define success and failure and point out similarities as well as differences. I wanted to find out if Moodie defines success in the same way Crèvecoeur does. Through putting the writings in their national context, I am hoping to discover if these concepts are typical for their national writings and zeitgeist.
