The poem below was taken from page 4 of the short story “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez. It shows the internal conflict of the barber the protagonist. I know the conflict is internal because the barber first had an idea and then had a different one that went against the first one and he struggles a bit. Struggling inside is a sign of internal conflict. In this case, the struggle is whether should he kill or not and he has to make the choice soon because his target is in his hand if he lets go there isn’t a second chance, so he has to choose. Also, during this conflict, there is no interaction with other characters, the environment, or the society, so it has to be an internal conflict. My poem first tells us the first idea the main character thought about, and then some questions he asks show he is worried about the first idea. Next, there is a new idea that supports the first idea again. So, it shows he’s struggling inside him. There are three pictures involved in my poem. One is angel versus devil, which shows the internal conflict, kill or not kill. Another one represents kill and the picture is a knife with blood on it. The last one is the normal barber knife, which represents not killing. I also included color as well. My poem is just like a conversation between the devil and an angel. Red represents the devil speaking, and yellow represents the angel speaking. The devil tries to convince the barber to murder Captain Torres, but the angel tries to convince the main character that he shouldn’t kill him. I colored the words based on this, not on hero stuff is said by the angel, and the murderer stuff is said by the devil. I don’t look at murder and a hero like this in this story. Murderers and heroes in this story, you can’t just say one bad one good because murderers in this story could mean you killed someone and it is horrible, it could also be you did it for justice On the other hand hero could mean you did it for the people and your great, it could also be a feeling that you want which leads you to murder someone. That’s why I colored the murderer and hero orange, it’s in the middle of the angel and devil.
