  1. When You Died By: Nosipho Kota

  2. T – Title • Title: When You Died • We think this poem will be about the speaker remembering someone else dying, and remembering how it changed their life.

  3. P – Paraphrasing • When that person died the speaker felt that everything changed, and the good things about life turned into something else. Everything was boring and dull.

  4. C - Connotation • The landscape changed: the speaker doesn’t mean that the physical features of the Earth actually changed, the speaker means that his view of the world changed. • The dogs stopped barking, the children stopped giggling: the dogs and the children could sense that something was wrong, but they didn’t know quite what it was.

  5. A – Attitude • The speakers attitude: the speaker doesn’t have zest for life anymore. The speaker sort of goes into a depression. • The Poet’s attitude: We feel that the poet and the speaker are the same person because there is even a dedication: “For X. Duma, who died of AIDS in December 2000”

  6. S – Shifts • There really isn’t any shift in the attitude of the poem. It started out dreary and ended dreary, too.

  7. T – Title • After we examined it again we felt that it had the same meaning as it did before.

  8. T - Theme • We think that the theme is that when you really love someone, the world seems empty and colorless without them. • Another theme is that when someone dies, you learn to appreciate them more.
