TITLE
: is there a WRONG answer?
NO: the title DOESN'T count
YES: 1st title is about MY reaction but the second one is about the POET's
NO: both the first and second time it's about MY reaction to the TITLE
YES: both times there is a CORRECT answer to guess
10
Possible clues to write about the poem's
CONNOTATION
Sorry, still in the dark!
Ok, kind of know what you mean!
11
TPCASTT
like a native
"Yup, got it!"
"Can you explain again?"
12
ATTITUDE
: could I describe it as the
TONE
of the poem?
YES
NO
It depends
If you say so
13
Can a
Metaphor
be an item of
CONNOTATION
?
Both a Metaphor and a Simile can help define Connotation
A Metaphor can't but a Simile can
A Metaphor can but a Simile can't
Of course!
14
Now, about the
SHIFT
: we could say that there's a
shift
in the poem where the
attitude/tone
changes...
And what about the setting?
But also the time or place could change, right?
Ok, I get it!
Could it also be the VOICE changing?

So, to
TPCASTT
a poem I must write about....
Title-Parataxis-Connotation-Attitude-Shift-Title-Theme
Topic-Poetry-Characterization-Allegory-Scansion-Textual criticism-Title
Title-Paraphrase-Connotation-Attitude-Shift-Title-Theme
