Found Poem

My found poem was based off “My Side of the Story” by Adam Bagdasarian. The story had a external conflict between the main character (the antagonist) and their father (the protagonist.) My poem explains this concept by highlighting the important parts of the story. For example, the part where tape was stuck to the main characters head was shown in the poem at “He pulled a piece of scotch tape off my head.” The conflict between the main character and their father was also shown in “He pulled the whole wad off my head.” “NOW GET OUT OF HERE” also explained how father was very strict and unlike mom. My poem explains this concept by highlighting the important events and conflicts in the story, mainly the conflict, middle, and resolution.

My poem also used different fonts and pictures to show the conflict and theme. First, I used different fonts at different parts of the story to show different emotions and important events, for example “NOW GET OUT OF HERE” used a very bold and scary font to show the emotion of dad. “Father” and “Mother” also used different fonts to show contrast. I also used elements like tape to show the main theme of the story. The background text also shows more contrast between the poem and the background. I used these techniques to convey a clearer theme to the reader.
