We+are+More

" D efine Canada." Canada can not be defined by the stereotypes it's been given by its fellow countries.Like the poem says "we are more than just hockey" "but We are more then genteel or civilized, we are an idea in the process of being realized." The idea that it is ok to have people of different ethnecities living together that some day there will be no hate, no racism and no bullying, our land will never seize to exsist because we reforest what we clear.What this poem means to me is that People and Nations worldwide are more then the stereotypes they've been given. If we try to teach the generations beyond us, the generations to come then maybe someday we will all live as one .The Impact of this poem, reading it and hearing it , made no difference to me becaus e I read it as if i was performing it, like im trying to make some connection to the poem and others.Shayne Koyzn used great metaphors in this poem which in turn made great analogies for the peoplereading or hearing it. To define Canada, any country, just to define anything in the world for that matter, by its stereotypes is a habit we as people should try to remove ourselves from, because if you can get away from it then you'll be able to see much more of the beauty and worth in the things in the world.

This is very well done. Excellent ideas and examples. Just some minor syntax errors.
