We+are+more

The poem “We Are More” by Shane Koyczan, impacts me through out the poem from stereotyping Canad and how awesome we are, and how polite we are to each other. When Mr. Koyczan says “ And some say what defines us/ Is something as simple as 'please' and 'thank you'/ And as for 'you're welcome,' well, we say that, too” (3.) which is just assuming that everyone in Canada is polite and nice to each other, but what has happened a couple months ago I don’t think we can live up to that expectation now. The poem is very strong with metaphors through out the whole poem; every line has a metaphor in it. Shane Koyczan reads his poem out to the world, Shane Koyczan does it with passion and is totally different when I read it and then heard him read it out, and Shane Koyczan had a total different rhythm. Therefore, the poem stereotypes and uses metaphors in great ways to back what Mr. Koyczan has to say about the great Canada!!
