The Awful Day of June

The poem was found in paragraph 70 to 90 in the short story “The Tuesday of the Other June” by Norma Fox Mazer. The internal conflict of this story is person vs. Person, and the protagonist in this story is June, the antagonist is the other June. This story has 2 conflicts, my found poem was based on the second conflict. The first one is June met the other June at the swimming pool, the other June bullied her because they have the same name. June called every Tuesday “The Awful Day” because it’s the day they have swimming class together. June thought if she moves to another place, she’ll get rid of the other June. The second conflict in this story is she met the other June in her new street. In school, the other June ordered June to be her slave. And June thought that she can’t be like this anymore. In the end of the story, June finally stands up for herself.  

My design for my found poem is based on the topic of this story. I added an icon of a group of people bullying another person. This shows how the other June bullies June in school. There’s a book because it represents the setting in this story, which is the school.
