This story “Fish Cheeks” is by Amy Tan. This story is about a girl called Amy who wants to be more American.  Amy is embarrassed of her chinese tradition during Christmas Eve Dinner. The conflict starts when the antagonist which in the story is the minister’s family is invited to Amy’s house for Christmas Eve Dinner. This is when the external conflict kicks in. My found poem concept is to show that tradition is something that you should be proud of but the words are black and is outlined with black marker because the words in this story is not so bright and Amy did not enjoy christmas eve dinner. There are also fishes that are black and white because in the story Amy has a miserable time because of her Chinese family and celebrates Christmas with fish instead of turkey. The steamed fish made Amy so miserable that I wanted to show that in the fishes. This is what my found poem is trying to show.
