The original poem “Closed Doors” by Jane Kirby is about anti-bullying. Its point of view is based on a person being bullied. How a person feels when being bullied. My strategy when reworking this poem was to just go with the flow. Whatever makes sense and flows easily is what I’ll put on the paper. I choose the black background because bullying is not something to be bright and colorful about.
When I finished gluing the words on the paper, I realized that it sounded like a bully’s point of view. The poem talks about how the bully feels and ends up being extremely dark. I only used words from the poem so to be able to turn it from being the person being bullied point of view to the bully itself was quite amazing!
