Blog Assignment #7: Found Poem of my Narrative Project [Category: Revision, Reflection]10/17/2018 This blog post describes how I used the cutt-up method, parody and onomatopoeia to entertain and relate to a loss of a meaningful pursuit. Some portion of the poem descriptions are added to my narrative assignment to get a better understanding of how the race went down. The details of my self vs self in the last choices to make determined my eligibility to advance into the next big race. This poem narrates my decision. I wanted to Boast, But I Didn’t Catch the Ghost
The heat, The track, The event, that 400 metres race to beat. Runners from all sides, beside me, against me, The competitor, the corridor The corridor of the track which the race took place, The place to determine the winner who qualified for States I’m not quite worried because I had quite the lead, there couldn’t possibly be a ghost that will sneak up me, but that was not meant to be.. I felt my knees pressuring up, my muscles had tightened up, the exhaustion following up, and all I see is Brunette nod her head up like ‘sup’ (GASSPPP) The Ghost The rage of embarrassment started to kick in, the more force I had to place in, the heat is so long and almost feels useless, tears and sweat had run down to my chin We are in the final stride/acceleration of the race, I have to make a choice A choice that could make me look like a cheater or a winner The Ghost Self vs Self What is right vs what is wrong Should I dive or take second place? I’m sorry coach, I’m sorry team, I’m sorry school, but diving isn’t cool The cherry wine banner slides down her waist, almost as if it’s hugging her accomplishment The recognition of coaches and alumnus smiling to appreciate and adore her skill Skills that I lacked that I thought I had hacked The Ghost For my most strongest event, I had lost the chance to prove my speed even greater This defeat is one of many reasons I look back as, If I had ran for the love of track and not let people put fear and medals and titles in my head The cherry red wine banner would’ve hugged me instead.

I appreciate the authorial choices you make here: the design, arrangement, and selection of text to regenre the original story. I also appreciate your mention of the self versus self literary conflict. I look forward to reading your reflective comments about ways to revise the narrative project.
