Getting Started…
• This is a process to help you organize your analysis of poetry.
• We have already learned the vocabulary, now it’s time to put it into practice!
• Together, we are going to analyze poetry using TPCASTT.
• You have a note sheet that looks like this…
![Page 3: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
You will write down everything that is…
bolded and underlined
Nothing else…

“T” is for TITLE
• Analyze the title first.• What do you predict this poem will be
about?• Write down your predictions about the
poem based off the title.• We will reflect on the title again after we
have read the poem.• The next step is often omitted, but it is the
most important!!!!

READ THE
POEM!!!!
![Page 6: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“P” is for PARAPHRASE
• Paraphrasing is putting something in your own words.
• After reading the poem, rewrite it in your own words.
• Keep it short and sweet.
![Page 7: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“C” is for CONNOTATION
• Identify the figures of speech and sound effects of the poem.
• These are the poetry vocabulary we have already studied.
• These elements add to the meaning.
![Page 8: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“A” is for ATTITUDE• Tone is the
attitude of the speaker toward the subject of the poem.
• What type of tone/attitude does the author have?
![Page 9: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TONE WORDS
• Positive Tone– emotions that evokes good feelings.
• Neutral Tone– emotions that can either good or bad depending
on the situation.
• Negative Tone – emotions that evoke BAD feelings
NOTE: If you don’t know what the word means USE YOUR DICTIONARY!!!

“S” is for SHIFT
• If there is a change in time, tone, or speaker MARK IT!!!!!
• This should always be noted as this will also affect the meaning.
![Page 11: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“T” is for TITLE (again)
• At this time, you should reconsider the title.
• Were you right in your predictions?
• What other meanings might the title have in light of your analysis?
• Next, the biggie….
![Page 12: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“T” is for THEME
• As you already know, theme is the message or main idea the author wants you to get from the work.
• It does not make a judgment.
example: “Don’t do drugs” is not a theme.
• It merely states something that is true to life and the human condition.
![Page 13: Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d902993/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do I find the THEME?
• Look at the other parts of TPCASTT.
• What insight are all of these working together to convey?
• What is the poet trying to say about life?

Woman with FlowerI wouldn’t coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it’s dry before you water it.
The leaf’s inclined to find it own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight
for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too careful prodding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to
leave alone.

Identity by Julio Noboa Polanco
Let them be as flowers,
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.
I’d rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.
To have broken through the surface of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,
Carrying my soul, my seed.
Beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre.
I’d rather be unseen, and ifthen shunned by everyone,than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,growing in clusters in the fertile valley,where they’re praised handled, and pluckedby greedy, human hands
I’d rather smell a musty, green stenchThan of sweet fragrant lilac.If I could stand alone, strong and free,I’d rather be a tall, ugly weed.Lack of seeds, bits of night glistening on the grass.
