The words in “The Fan Club” written by Rona Maynard were used in this found poem. In this short story, Laura faces a challenge within herself which is whether to join the Hortensky fan club or not. On one side she wants to stand out for Rachel because she felt sorry for Rachel because people always laugh at her because of what she wears and her family background. On the other side she wants to fit in with the popular kids and because she will get bullied with Rachel if she helps her. “Laura stared at the card, looked from Rachel’s red, frightened face, Diane’s mocking smile, picked up the car and pinned it to her sweater.” I picked this part to be in my found poem because this part shows Laura facing a challenge within herself and choosing whether to join the Hortensky fan club or not.
