Splatt, like RAFT, gives the reader direction for the analysis of the poem.
S – SpeakerIn addition toidentifying who the speaker is, you are also identifying the way theauthorexpresses their opinion and emotion in their poem. Eighteen Flavors By Shel Silverstein Eighteen luscious, scrumptious flavors Chocolate, lime and cherry, Coffee, pumpkin, fudge banana Caramel cream and boysenberry. Rocky road and toasted almond, Butterscotch, vanilla dip, Butter brickle, apple ripple, Coconut and mocha chip, Brandy peach and lemon custard, Each scoop lovely, smooth and round, Tallest ice cream cone in town, Lying there (sniff) on the ground. For Sale One sister for sale! One sister for sale! One crying and spying young sister for sale! I’m really not kidding, So who’ll start the bidding? Do I hear the dollar? A nickel? A penny? Oh, isn’t there, isn’t there, isn’t there any One kid that will buy this old sister for sale, This crying and spying young sister for sale?
P - purposeJust like RAFT the reader still needs to determine the purpose of the writing. You did this in RAFT when you were determining the format of the paper. Poetry has a purpose just like any other written work.

L – Literary DevicesPoetry uses literary devices to develop the mood and tone of the poem. They help the reader understand the emotion, importance, and event within the poem. KABOOM!by Denise RodgersKaboom!Ka-blastWay in the pastthe miners mined for ore.They searched for copper, iron and salt,for that and much, much more.Kaboom!The biteof dynamitecut deep inside the earth.The charge explodes revealing lodesof minerals of worth.Kaboom!The dust,the air so mussedwent swirling through the sky.It was a sight, the dynamitethat made the mountains fly.Kaboom!The earthwas filled with mirthso tickled by the boom.The miner's pleasure,each newfound treasurethat followed eachKaboom!

T – themeThemeis the main idea of a story, poem, novel, or drama. Theme is the message about life or humannature the writer wants to convey. Theme of this poem: a father who sometimes forgets that his son has become a grown-up. Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road? Robert Hershon Don't fill up on breadI say absent-mindedlyThe servings here are huge My son, whose hair may bereceding a bit, saysDid you really justsay that to me? What he doesn't knowis that when we're walkingtogether, when we getto the curbI sometimes start to reachfor his hand
T – toneTone describes the author’s attitude toward his subject. Tone reflects the author’s purpose. If the author’s purpose is to inform, the tone may be serious. If the author’s purpose is to entertain, the tone may be humorous. Tone is not stated directly. Tone must be inferred from clues in the writing. The language and details the writer chooses help create the tone. Tone refers to the feelings of the writer.
