Copy the chart onto your own paper, download the document from my website, or create your own word document whenever you are required to complete a TPCASTT to begin analyzing a poem. DescriptionApplication to Poem T TITLEBefore you even think about reading the poetry or trying to analyze it, speculate on what you think the poem might be about based upon the title. Oftentimes authors conceal meaning in the title and give clues in the title. Write down what you think this poem will be about.  P PARAPHRASE Before you begin thinking about meaning or trying to analyze the poem, dont overlook the literal meaning of the poem. One of the biggest mistakes that students often make in poetry analysis is jumping to conclusions before understanding what is taking place in the poem. When you paraphrase a poem, write in your own words exactly what happens in the poem. Look at the number of sentences in the poem-your paraphrase should have exactly the same number. Make sure you understand the difference between summary and paraphrase.  C CONNOTATION Although this term usually refers solely to the emotional overtones of word choice, for this approach the term refers to any and all poetic devices, focusing on how such devices contribute to the meaning, the effect, or both of a poem. You may consider imagery, figures of speech (simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism, etc.), diction, point of view, and sound devices (alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm, rhyme, etc.). It is not necessary that you identify all the poetic devices within the poem. The ones you do identify should be seen as the way of supporting the conclusions you are going to draw about the poem.  A ATTITUDE Having examined the poems devices and clues closely, you are now ready to explore the multiple attitudes that may be present in the poem. Examination of diction, images, and details suggests the speakers attitude and contributes to understanding. You may refer to the list of words on the tone handout. Remember that usually the tone or attitude cannot be named with a single word. Think complexity.  S SHIFTSRarely does a poem begin and end the poetic experience in the same place. As is true of most of us, the poets understanding of an experience is a gradual realization, and the poem is a reflection of that understanding or insight. Watch for the following keys to shifts: Key words (but, yet, however, although) Punctuation (dashes, periods, colons, ellipses) Stanza divisions Changes in line or stanza length or both Irony Changes in sound that may indicate changes in meaning Changes in diction TTITLENow look at the title again, but this time on an interpretive level. What new insight does the title provide in understanding the poem? T THEMEWhat is the poem saying about the human experience, motivation, or condition? What subject or subjects does the poem address? What do you learn about those subjects? What idea does the poet want you to take away with you concerning these subjects? Remember that the theme of any work of literature is stated in a complete sentence.
