Canadian Identity& Culture in Mass Media!
Okay so, this is my collage and I will explain what every picture on it represents to me, in being Canadian. But first let me just say that I am an idiot and I put the media representations on the right instead of the left. So first in the middle I chose a multi-coloured maple leaf as apposed to the traditional red one because to me it represents the many colours of the scenery, and the citizens of Canada. On the media side I chose to show all of the pictures on a newspaper print because the newspaper was invented by Charles Fenerty in 1838. There are pictures of various Canadian celebrities like Keanu Reeves and Kim Catrall. There is a picture of a hockey player because the sport hockey is very important to many Canadians. There is also a Tim Horton's logo, because Tim Horton's was originally a Canadian company and is enjoyed by Canadians. On the other side there is a painting of poppies. These represent the poem In Flanders Fields which was written in the first world war by a Canadian named John McCrae. There is a poster for the Toronto Film Festival because I believe this event is very important in Canada because it shows the world that Canadian films have something to offer. There is a picture of several differently coloured hands each displaying: peace, harmony, friends, team, love, hope, and unity. I believe that these words do express some of the opinions Canadians have of Canada. Finally, there is a painting called Mount Lefroy by Lawren Harris, who was a member of the Group of Seven. The Group of Seven was a group of extremely successful Canadian painters, who painted Canadian landscapes. This picture, to me, represents Canadian culture and art, and the love that citizens have for this country.
