1. The two descriptor pairs are jubilation and mourning. The tone on the opening paragraph is scary and depressing.
2. The prairie towns are described to be dull, bleak, flat and uninteresting. She doesn't agree because there are not always bad things about small prairie towns, there are also good things. I agree with her because growing up in small prairie towns you get to know everyone and become close with your surroundings.
3. She didn't like the weather and how small her town was. She also didn't like how there were no stores and the atmosphere is too busy. People like to stick their noses in other peoples business.
4. I feel the same way she does because there is not a whole lot to do around here. You can go to the Red Bull for a bite to eat and to rent a movie but that is about it. Our pool has been demolished for quite some time now so we can not go swimming. I am glad that we do have a store even though you can't always get what you need there.
5. I believe Canadians are not too modest especially when compared to Americans. We are not big talkers like the Americans. We keep to ourselves more.
6. I think that the quote means Canadians seem to be not as tough as other people think we are. I disagree because most Canadians are hard workers and we do not complain about our harsh winters. We still do out in severe weather conditions and get our chores done and move on with our lives.
7. I agree with this theme because it suits the poem pretty well. It means you are always going to be apart of your cultural roots no matter where you are from.
