====To me, this poem was a way of telling the world Canadians are "more than just hockey and fishing lines." Although this work of art was well thought out, and preformed with intensity and purpose it did not mean alot to me because I agree with him and already know of these streotypes being false. He used many metaphors to describe his feelings, for example, "each life unravels differently. (EXPLAIN) " He is not literally reffering to life unraveling but it allows you to think about what hes saying. The impact changes dramaticly from reading the poem to listening to the poem because of the emphisis on important stanzas and softly on other stanzas to create an image in the listeners mind.====
