My found poem was created from words carefully chosen from the story “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Ralph Dahl to represent the external conflict between Mary Maloney and her husband. There is an external conflict  (man verses man) between the protagonist Mary Malone and her husband (later the antagonist). Later throughout the story, her husband no longer loves her while she is pregnant. On page 3, Mary Maloney’s husband says: “Of course I’ll give you money and see you’re looked after. But there needn’t really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn’t be very good for my job.” This shows that her husband no longer loves her.  This infuriates Mary Maloney and ignites the conflict. I try to emphasize this turning point of the relationship between the couple in my poem starting from stanza (sections in a poem that are similar to paragraphs) five on the top-right corner.  Further down the story, I extract key events or actions that outline what happens in the story one by one, creating a tense feeling and a sense of suspense for the reader. The artwork in the background illustrated by myself also represents the conflict and “divergence” between the couple; her husband (the antagonist)  leaving, with only a dark silhouette left, while Mary Maloney herself is shown working at the kitchen table while she is pregnant, while she shreds some tears across her all-in-blue face.
