Found poetry!

Today our activity was to create a "found poem" - a poem made up (almost) entirely from words and phrases found in the novel.

For starters we looked at the concept of mob mentality, specifically as it is shown on pages 159-162.  I asked you to gather words and phrases from the book and then craft them into a poem.  Remember from our work with the poetry of Walt Whitman that a poem does not need to rhyme ("I Hear America Singing") but it can rhyme and have a sing-song structure ("O Captain! My Captain!").   For this poem I asked you to use all of the words and phrases you found, plus no more than three of your own.  It is ok to repeat words if you'd like to use that structure.
