My “Where I’m From Poem” demonstrates who I am, and my identity. Each line of the poem reveals another aspect of my identity, and opens up to who I am even more.The whole poem is a metaphor of my identity, which is based on my inner and outer self. For example, in line six I state: “I am from the tropical beaches”. This is a metaphor because I was not actually born on the beach, but instead, is something that makes me who I am. I love to go to beaches and relax, swim, and have fun. All of the different things that I brought up in this poem are a part of who I am. Because of the many versatile factors brought up in the poem, like “pictures and scrapbooks”, I grouped my stanzas as different topics, such as memories and my past. To further this,

I made many deliberate choices when creating my visual; for example, using a multicolor background to represent the active brain patterns, along with the chaos and that can sometimes happen in the mind. In addition, the background also represents the many things that go into a person’s identity; it is not always neat and organized in a person’s brain. There are pictures that circle around a girl who is smiling with brown hair; the brown haired girl represents myself, and the pictures symbolize characteristics that form my identity. To further this, the arrows point towards me to express that those factors are a part of me, and make me who I am. Although there are a lot more adjectives that help to create my identity, I chose the most important ones because there are too many to list them all. Each individual picture represents another part of my identity, and gives more insight to who I am. For instance, I used a picture of two hands making a heart to reveal that I am a very considerate person, and is always trying to make others happy. Also, I having a laughing face to convey that I love to laugh and be happy. The message of my visual is the many factors that make me the person I am …show more content…
I put a lot of time and effort into this piece to find words that fit well, flow well, and spell the word “Freedom” diagonally across the poem. This piece is about self-expression, society, and social media. Many people today post things on social media and express themselves through their posts. What I am addressing in my poem is how quickly people are to judge others. Not only does this relate to me, but to everyone. Since people are now allowed to hide behind a screen, it makes it easy for them to bully others online or say mean comments. This relates to me because it is a serious topic that is has been happening to many people lately. Adding on to this, society, social media, and self-expression affect me because I sometimes feel like I cannot express myself without being judged. The message I conveyed in the “Self- Expression Poem” was that the freedom that people have in this era is not always good, because they tend to use it negatively. For example, people often times put others down and use social media negatively because they have so much unmonitored freedom. I decided to put the word “Freedom” diagonally across my poem because in the first stanza I do not directly state that freedom is a cause of the negative things, like fear, but instead am conveying that, and “Freedom” spelled across the poem helps convey that message better. In addition, I broke my poem up into two
