We Are More
To me this poem is saying how our country is more than just hockey and fishing and we are not what the world thinks of us. To me, Canada is a country that represents the world. We have people from every country living together. Canada is a place that ideas are grown, not destroyed. We are a country of people from every race and culture who live together in freedom. Also, our country is proud to be polite, we say please and thank you whenever we can. We are a very bright and humorous nation that loves to have fun. In the poem it says how we reforest what we clear, and how we believe in the next generation of our country. When you listen to him speak over reading the poem, it seems like a totally different poem. This is because the speaker puts emphasis on certain words, and how he took breaks to let you ponder what he is thinking about. When he chose metaphors, they were very descriptive. He used examples from our multicultural backgrounds which helped the reader or listener grasp the bigger mesage that he is saying about Canada. He is saying that we are more than just hockey and fishing, we are a country of dreams.

EXCELLENT! 6/6
