We+are+More

=**Assignment: Describe what the poem means to you. Discuss the use of metaphor to create analogies in the mind of the listener. How does the impact of this poem change when you hear it as apposed to reading it? Use specific examples from the text.** = We Are More When you hear the poem you can feel the expression in his voice and it makes it more sensational and powerful, than if you read it, you don't get much feeling and it'll seem all boring and bland. When you listen to it, he gives pauses between the lines, raises his voice, and uses hand gestures to give it more of an effect. To me, the poem means love for our country. It defines our pride of what and who we are and it tells us to believe in ourselves and don't give up.

"So don't let your luggage define your travels. Each life unravels differently and experiences are what make up the colours of our tapestry." This metaphor means not to let your past make your future plans for you. Every person have different thoughts and personality so everyone will do different things. Experiences in our lives is what make up ourselves. "But we're more than just hockey and fishing lines." It means that we do more things than just playing hockey and fishing. We do more things in our lives. "We dream so big that there are those who would call our ambition an industry." This means that our dreams are so huge and is filled with lots of things and imagination, it is like it new things will be created and will keep on going.
