To me this poem explains what it truly means to be a Canadian and how we are not necessarily the mirror image our  stereotypes. Howev er I  happen to believe that all stereotypes do have a grain of truth. The use of metaphors helped to define our stereotypes and what we truly are. Metaphor such as:But we are more than just hockey and fishing lines Off the rocky coast of the maritime and So don't let your luggage define your travels give an in depth description in only a few words. (EXPLAIN) When read out loud we pick up on the voice change, the speed at which it is read,the pauses and even the emotion that is put in to every word. When the poem is read in silence none of this is present, we are unable to truly connect with or understand the poem in depth. However the poem is also more open to interpretation because we haven't heard the speed at which it is read,the pauses and the emotion which help to define the poem and set it in stone(if you will). 4.5/6 __Hyperbole__ **Over exaggeration used for emphasis** <span style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Arial; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">__Alliteration__ <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">the reppetition of a sound at the begining of a series of words sally slept soundly
