We+Are+More

In the peom "We Are More", the peom means many things to me. It describes Canada as more than just a hockey nation, fishing or winter country it describes Canada as a place of peace and warmth. Canada is a land that supports and helps re-bulid countries, that are in need of food and water. The peom that Shane Koyczan reads, tells it's listners that Canada is more than a place of igloos and snow. He gives many examples of metaphors in the peom that try and tell people what it really is he gives examples like "We are the brightness of Chinatown and the laughter of Little Italy" this is a figure of speech because, you can't be the lights of Chinatown or the laughter of Italy. Shane Koyczan says other things such as " We are first-rate greasy spoon dinners and healthy living cafes", or "We are more than a laundray list of things to do and places to see". The peom really changed for me when I heard the peom rather than reading it, when I read the poem it was read word by word, rather than being watched when Shane Koyczan gives large amounts of compassion and enthusiasm. He helps the listner understand more, and the way that the poem is said makes you actully want to listen. This poem has inspired me in many different ways and helped me understand all the positives rather than all the negatives about our country.
