Barber

What barbers do when they cut our hair.
.

 

Above is my Canva project found poem, in which I used the idea from Wendy’s commercial of an angel and devil standing on the shoulders, thinking that the angel represents the barber’s kindness and thoughts on not killing the man, and the devil represents the barber’s desire to kill his enemy. I also used a worried man’s face image to show that the barber is having difficulty deciding whether or not to kill the man.   “Lather and Nothing Else” written by Hernando Tellez was the short story I used to compose my found poem  above. Using words and sentences from pages 1, 3, and 4. It shows person vs self conflict, in this case, the barber “I” serves as both the protagonist and antagonist, where he must decide between killing the man (his enemy) or letting him live, which also makes it an internal conflict. The beginning of the story, is when his enemy came in the shop for a shave, and they started to have interactions, the rising action is when the barber starts to think about some of the sins the man has done, the climax is how “I” start to think about killing him and how to kill him, but also doesn’t want to become a murderer. The falling action is when the barber Figured out that he doesn’t want to stain blood on his hands and just wanted to do his work as a barber honored and properly. Some of the best words I thought and added to my poem was  “He deserves , Or does he.?” And “I could cut his throat,” ,“But I don’t want to be  murderer. ” to really demonstrate what internal conflict would look like in this short story.
