Poet and Didn’t Know It Prompt 1
• “And when she started becoming a “young lady,” and no one was allowed to look at her because she thought she was fat. And how she really wasn’t fat. And how she was actually very pretty. And how different her face looked when she realized boys thought she was pretty. And how different her face looked the first time she really liked a boy who was not on a poster on her wall. And how her face looked when she realized she was in love with that boy. I wondered how her face would look when she came out from behind those doors.” – Perks of Being A Wallflower

Irony• When the outcome is different from what
was expected. I.e. “Richard Cory”
“Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him;
He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favoured, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said, “Good-morning,” and he glittered when he
walked.
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king— And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the
bread;And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his
head.”
