Fear not my weary pilgrims, this is much easier than it seems!! An Explication- The Easy Way Out!By Tricia Cooney
An Explication contains THREE (3) parts 1. PARAPHRASE 2. ANALYSIS 3. INTERPRETATION Which Way Do I Go?
Paraphrase • A paraphrase is merely putting the poem into your own words. • You may want to paraphrase stanza by stanza. • Some poems are really • difficult and require • you to paraphrase • line by line.
Analysis • This is your true chance to shine and demonstrate how much you really know! • Start small - point out how many stanzas etc. • Then, go for the GUSTO! Point out all of the literary devices used in the poem. • Alliteration,allusions,similes, metaphors… remember these?? See you do use this stuff again!
Explication • This is the fun part. • This is a paragraph on what YOU think the poet is trying to say to you. • This portion of the explication will be different for each person. • There really is NO WRONG ANSWER as long as you back up what your saying!
See… • This wasn’t so bad • Break down the process one step at a time • Maintain a positive attitude • If you get stuck don’t give up – it’s o.k. to ask for help
