Atwood's poem, this is a photograph of me uses an interesting technique. Because this title describes to us an image we get to read or hear what the writer wants us to. When I was doing my poem modeled off of it, I felt as if I had control over exactly how the audience viewed it. They didn't know what the photograph looked like, so description let them know what it was exactly. Describing a situation for someone is an interesting topic for writing, you can never be sure if the story is fictional or just so unbelievable but still true. especially in poetry, because interpretation gives the story more presence and reality.
