Answer and Explanation:
This question is about "Borders" by Thomas King and is a short story that can be classified as a drama. That's because, when the protagonists of the story, a boy and his mother, try to cross the border between Canada and the USA are prevented. they are prevented because they call themselves "Blackfoot," a people native to North America, however, the "Blackfoot" are not considered citizens for border officers and therefore do not allow the boy and his mother to cross.
This means that the boy and his mother have to cross two borders, the first is the physical border established between the two countries, the second is a barrier of intolerance, created by those who ignore the existence and rights of Native Americans.
