The conflict in the story Tuesday of the other June is an internal battle that June has about standing up for herself. My poem is about convincing June to stand up to being bullied by the other June. The first line, “You must be called June” is telling June that it is not okay for the other June to call her, ’fisheyes,’ or ‘buffalo brain.’ ‘The next line you must stand up for yourself’ is referencing the part of the story where she is questioning if she wants to stand up for herself and she said, “if my father’s daddy wanted to know us instead of being glad to forget us — oh, then I would have punched the Other June with a frisky5 heart, I would have grabbed her arm at poolside and bitten her like the dog she had made of me.” This evidence shows how she wants to fight back against June but just can’t find the guts to. The next line you are in a trap symbolizes how June has gotten her into a cycle of bullying and teasing that she could not get out of. The quote,’ My weeks were no longer Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and so on. Tuesday was Awfulday. Wednesday was Badday. (The Tuesday bad feelings were still there.) Thursday was Betterday, and Friday was Safeday. Saturday was Goodday, but Sunday was Toosoonday, and Monday — Monday was nothing but the day before Awfulday.” This piece of evidence shows the constant cycle of bullying that June has pushed her into. The next line Tuesday was Awfulday is another reference to this problem. The next line, ’But it is just you and mom today.’’ Is telling June that she should consult her mom on this issue instead of hiding it from her. The quote,’’ “I’m going to get you, Fish Eyes,” for my heart to slink like a whipped dog down into my stomach. My arms were covered with bruises. When my mother noticed, I made up a story about tripping on the sidewalk.” This quote is very important because she feels ashamed about being bullied, and the person that could help her most is the one person that she is hiding it form. The lines, ’So let that dog out,’ and “and stand up against you training” are referring to the part of this conflict where June feels like June is training her like a dog. The quote,” I didn’t know what to do about her. She was training me like a dog. After a few weeks of this, she only had to look at me, only had to growl, “I’m going to get you, Fish Eyes,” for my heart to slink like a whipped dog down into my stomach. Best shows this conflict because she is letting her bully her to the point where all it takes is one insult to shatter her. This line is also used to give the reader a sense of fight while reading this
