The title of this story is “Thank You M’am“, written by Langston Hughes. The conflict of my poem is man versus man (external conflict) because, In the first paragraph, the protagonist and the antagonist are having a physical conflict. My poem shows the boy snatching the purse and the women kicking him then picking up and shaking him. I chose to only add a small black and white cartoon purse because the conflict started with the boy snatching the purse, and I made it small because I didn’t want that to be the center of attention. I made the whole poem black and white and with that font, because the black and white shows the fast and firm physical conflict (it only took a few seconds for all that to happen and the women were very calm and firm when she kicked and shook the boy), and the font matches (it’s neat and easy to read (and it gives the reader an “it happened super fast” feeling). Why I DID NOT make it have a lot of colors is because I think that a fight is more “black and white” than “colorful”. Also, if I didn’t choose the coloring correctly it would come into conflict with the whole “fast action” of the poem. Overall, a black and white setting with a small black and white cartoon picture lets the actual poem stand out, and the black and white theme expresses the fast action in the poem
