We+Are+More

I think this poem means that we Canadains are not just sterotypes, we don't live in igloos, not all of us love hockey and drink beer. That we aren't defined by what people say about us. When he calls us cultures woven into a tapestry, he is telling everyone just how many different kinds of people, and kinds of cultures that exist in Canada and how they co-exsist with each other ! I think when i read this poem I just think oh another poem about Canada, but when I wached the video of him reading the poem,it was completly different. When he read it out loud I heard the parts where it was supposed to be intense and the part it was supposed to be soft, also I heard the rhyming words better like "But we're more than just hockey and fishing lines, off of the rocky coast of the Maritimes" The first time I read it I didn't rhyme them together. Then when he read it you could hear how it flowed smoothly and rhymed nicely. This is a poem about how we are more then the stereotypes (Hence the name We Are More).

Some good ideas. Be sure to proofread carefully!
