How do you analyze a poem step by step?
English
ScanSolve AI Answer
TPCASTT method: Title — what does it suggest before reading? Paraphrase — restate each stanza in your own words. Connotation — look for figurative language (metaphors, symbols, imagery). Attitude/Tone — what's the speaker's mood? Shifts — where does the tone or subject change? Title revisited — any new meaning? Theme — what's the overall message? Also examine: rhyme scheme (ABAB, AABB), meter (iambic pentameter, free verse), sound devices (alliteration, assonance), and structure (sonnet, haiku, free verse).
