Lists of different brands/foods/places etc

As part of the task last Monday, this was the list I generated. On the left are numerous things relative to my 'short-tempered' self and to the right is what I thought correlated better to my 'calm' persona. I didn't think too much about what I was writing... I pretty much just scribbled down the first thoughts that came into my head which I found interesting when I was reflecting.

Some of the 'short-tempered' results were Nike Dunks, Lynx, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Tupac, Boys in the Hood... All of which my older brother is a fan.

Whereas the list on the side of calm was far more specific to me – Pizza Express, Chicken Caesar Salad, Gwen Stefani’s Baby Perfume, Sparkling Mineral water and The Notebook film to mention a few.
From this, I instantly knew what kind of direction I was going to take my poem in, I just wasn’t sure what the content would consist of just yet.
I started thinking of ideas surrounding the conflict between my brother and I as well as the ways in which, despite our polar-opposite personalities, we always look out for each other. To help inspire me, I looked into a number of poems and performances on a similar subject.
