The found poem i wrote was created based on story “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez. In the story, the main character ( the barber) is a revolutionary when Columbia was facing political conflict (La Vioencia), and he has to cut his enemy’s beard which is a hunter of revolutionary, Captain Torre. The barber faces the problem of having to give service to him. during the cut, the barber is aware about the awful things by Captain Torre and struggles to make a decision of using his razor blade to do his own job and be a murderer. In page 4, the barber knows that his fate relies on a blade of a razor of being a murderer, the razor bade represents the decision of him.
The reason I drew two different newspapers having different sentence is because it portrays what will happen if the barber kills Captain Torres. “The murderer,” , “The avengers”. At the beginning of the story the barber is eager to pull the razor and kill the Captain but soon he’s faced with moral dilemma. (Inner conflict person vs person). The ‘murderer’ news paper shows the barber’s desire for revenge .
