My found poem is about the external conflict in “Fish Cheeks”, a narrative written by author Amy Tan. In the story, the protagonist, fourteen-year-old Amy Tan has a crush on the antagonist, Robert, the minister’s son. She is conflicted in accepting her born culture, Chinese, and wanting to take on another, American. As Robert and his family were invited to her house for dinner, Amy is embarrassed by the manners her family portrays, scared of what Robert would think. Being used to American cultures, Amy decided that Robert would judge her for her Chinese origins. In the end, she learns to appreciate her culture and accept herself for who she is.
