What do you think?Why?
What can we do?
So what are we going to do?
There you see?
Can't you understand that?
Should I go now?
Children on general?
Is he going to come with us?
Do you know this boy?
have you forgotten?
How could this happen?
Were they on their own?
What's in the bag?
Your reward?
Fake money?
Don't I know you?
Were thet searching for you?
Because of the thefts?
You told your uncle everything?
What should we do?
Will you come with me?
And how are we going to get ashore?
Can you see it?
Does he know about the merry-go-round?
Was it always here?
Does it matter which figure you sit on?
Which one do you want?

Or the mermaid?
What are you waiting for, Prop?
You really can't wait, can you?
Are you sure you won't change your mind?

Different?
Do I look like my father?
Is she rich?
Is there anything else I can do?
Your aunt?
That's her?
How are you going to get by?
Are you going to start stealing again?
I think it is really neat how you used a series of questions for your found poem. It makes the reader think more and not simply read and reflect on the words.
ReplyDeleteI love this poem and think the greatest thing about it is the fact that it is a collections of questions. It is awsome to see how you have choosen to take question and put them in a poem form and creating a story. It is somehting not everyone can do, as well as being something you do not see everyday. Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteI agree the collection of questions makes you wonder what is going on. For people who have not read the book they might question what is happening and want to read it. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is very unusual and very effective, Chelsea. I agree with Kim that your choice of writing almost entirely in questions leads the reader to think and to engage actively with your ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love how you made a story from only questions. It's really unique and really interesting!
