TPCASTT
This is an acronym which is explained below. The TPCASTT method can be used as a format for writing a short analysis essay about a poem. Rely on what you find in the poem, what the words say, and how the poetic devices increase the meaning.
*Title--Think about the meaning of the title before reading the poem.
*Paraphrase--Translate the poem into your own words.
*Connotation--Look for meaning in the poem beyond the paraphrase by finding all poetic devices such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm, rhyme, simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism, diction, point of view, etc.
*Attitude--What is the speaker's tone? What is the poet's tone? (They might not be the same.)
*Shifts--Point out the changes in who is speaking or in tone.
*Title--Think about the title again. Has the meaning of the title changed after studying the poem?
*Theme--What is the poet trying to say? What idea is being communicated? (NOT what happened in the poem!) Tp Casst stands for: Title paraphrase connotation attitude shift in tone Speaker Theme
