... Analyse the poem 'warning' and 'Not my best side'. 'How do these poems challenge stereotypes?' Both these poems talk about different stereotypes. In 'Not my best side' and 'Warning' the old stereotypes are challenged and new stereotypes are created. 'Not my best side' a poem by U A Fanthorpe is based on a painting in which she challenged the stereotypical image of the brave heroic knight, the beautiful and helpless princess and the vicious fearful dragon and replaced them with modern day stereotypes. The style, in which 'Not my best side' is written, is in three stanzas for the three different fairy tale characters. This style is much different to the 'Warning' which is written in four different paragraphs for four different feelings of rebellious attitudes. The length of the sentences in 'Warning' are quite long and childlike, this is an attempt by the poet to break down the typical stereotype
