The similie is his perfect home for him to live in. When Acorn says “nowhere is there a spot not measured by hands,” he means that the island is tiny and every single area of the island has been touched by a villager. When he says beaches that roar he is talking about the roaring pride that the citizens have for their island and province. They have a lot of pride and that is great for the community.
When you look in you see nothing but a black picture. But when you look out you see a beautiful island filled with wonderful scenery and tremendous pride and patriotism. In the fanged jaws of the gulf there is a red tongue. When he says this he means that the jagged hills are the jaws and the red soil of Prince Edward Island is the red tongue.
Bowering finds the smoke-stack in the prairie sky to be absurd. This permits moss-rooft cabins, tribe of prairie dog eaters. He believes that the cities are destroying the prairies. You look into the sky line and you can see the smoke-stacks from the city. Instead of using Mud in the poem Mud Time I would use rain. You could write a similar poem but use rain instead of mud. Almost every sentence used in the poem could be switched to rain and it would still make sense. I would suggest my feelings by bringing it to the start of summer. Summer is my favorite season so I think that would be a good way to end the poem.
The hammer represents his life and all the things the hammer had to go through to be shaped like his life. You a want to be a stone hammer because then you are the best you can be. Stone Hammer and Pride are very similar poems in the way that they both get there point across and the way they explain there theories.
When building a highway they have to take into consideration what the highway is going on top of and where the highway goes between. I think that if the natives had even just told the highway engineers that there was a grave site there they would have just went around it. If the natives got the petition signed they defiantly would have got what they wanted. It was destroyed deliberately because they didn’t ask if they could put the high way there instead they just put the highway on the grave site.
The highway is part of white culture because we have always used the highway to go places and in a way its our life line. The grave yard is a part of culture for the natives because there ancestor’s and loved ones are buried there. The natives graveyard is gone forever and they were very disrespected by the highway engineers because the graveyard can never be there again its gone forever.
People donate objects to the village. Men having dog fights till the death. There is a lack of thunderstorms in Haida’s district. Their area started on fire, and they made shelter from the from. These tribes believe that the sun and the eagles are authority. These legends may still be around today but no one listens or practices the stories. Now John Newlove is asking what tales they worship.The plains are bare, so crops cannot be made. Peigan’s drove snakes out of the plains and the old Cree Saukamappee (chief) is telling his old stories. Indians are not composed of romantic stories, but have interesting stories. We are all made of the same environment as natives.
Newlove’s view towards the native people changed a lot by the end if the story because in the begging he depicts the natives as crazy and trying to kill everyone. At the end of the poem he tells us that all those things he said were just stories from when they were young. At the start of the poem the natives are described as being somewhat crazy. They are described being tethered with leather dog-thongs to a stake, fighting until death.
The title Pride is very strong because everyone has pride so we want to read this poem because we can relate to it but at the same time we are some what nervous because we don’t want to loose any pride by reading this. Although the white people are trying to take over the natives have all the pride. They don’t want the white people taking their territory over so they fight for it. They had alot of integrity to do such a thing, and fight for their territory.
The young are leaving the country quickly because there is no future for them with there parents. If the children stay home there are stuck farming they live there lives day to day just making it buy. There fathers know that there live styles at home involve a lot of work, long days in the heat, and cold and very little pay. The mothers know that all there is left for there children in only a hard life with very little pay. If the children move to the city they can find jobs that are a lot easier on them and that pay more money. These jobs in the city allow the people to advance and get more money the longer they work and there is a holt career waitng for them.
The kids would go back to the town because they miss there families they might feel bad because they just left there family to work hard and decided not to help them out. The children might return to see hoe life used to be, to realize hoe much better there life has become. There are many reason for heading back I think a lot of the reason is that there is sentimental value to them for where they grew up where the spent 18 or 16 years of there lives.
The mood in both poems is so strong. We can really feel how it would feel like to be there. In the poem THE PEA FEILDS Robert’s uses a lot of words that describe everything he sees or everything that he wants use to picture he puts us in that mood. In the poem THE TANTRAMAR REVISITED Robert’s goes into to depth very extremely we can really slow down and picture what he was feeling we can really fit into that atmosphere that he wants us to be in. Robert’s went into this poem a little to deeply and we have to slow down so much to read it that it almost take away from the mood because we are focusing on all these hard to say sentences.
Scott says we have a six sided way he means that we can go north, south, east, west, up and down. Scott also says that we have science under our wings, science is not created it was always there not manufactured. A nation is like the clouds because they may seem together but may not be. Regina is also known as pile of bones.
The technological frontier is everyones not just the people who take credit for it this everyones era we should all take credit for what’s happing because we are a part of it in some way. The plane has changed our minds we don’t seem to think we need nature anymore we think that we can live on this planet and not care about anything but our selves. If we don’t preserve nature all of our natural resources will be gone and we’ll have nothing at all.
F.R scott’s views are very similar to King’s they both try contribute fairness to this country and they do not choose sides. Scott is very similar when it comes to King’s ideas of how this country should be run and what we can do to make it better.
In W.L.M.K. Scott cut’s down the canadian political system. He never really says anything good about the political system Scott says how we have no shape he’s trying to tells we don’t know who we are we have no identity.
A.J.M Smith is describing the fist part of the because he’s saying what he thinks the creek looks like. Smith is telling us how it naturally looks and how it would look as if no one touched it just a nice creek. In the second part of the poem Smith is Analyzing the creek Smith sees what’s happing in the creek he learns how it works how things flow through it. Smith doesn’t care so much about how it looks rather than what’s going on in the creek.
A fantasy is something that we picture or dream about something that we want to have thats out of reach that we want or desire or to feel. Fantasy is that one thing that we hope some how we get. In this poem a fantasy is described by both the writer and by Christian. The writer describes what he thinks it would be to live in that time and in the situation. Christian’s fantasy that is shown in this post is that we fantasizes about caribou coming. If the caribou come they will have food there hunger will stop and life becomes a bit easier.
Christians mind was going off track in the last part of the poem. He started talking about the rain deer falling from the sky and they were all coming. Really Christians mind was having a fantasy that would solve all there problems and would fix everything that was going wrong they would finally have food. All these deer were falling from the sky and none of them would be hungry.
