Can a
Metaphor
be an item of
CONNOTATION
?
A Metaphor can but a Simile can't
Of course!
Both a Metaphor and a Simile can help define Connotation
A Metaphor can't but a Simile can
12
Now, about the
SHIFT
: we could say that there's a
shift
in the poem where the
attitude/tone
changes...
But also the time or place could change, right?
Could it also be the VOICE changing?
Ok, I get it!
And what about the setting?
13
TPCASTT
like a native
"Can you explain again?"
"Yup, got it!"
14

CONNOTATION
