  4. What is an Extended Metaphor? • EXTENDED METAPHOR • Definition: A metaphor that continues over multiple sentences, and that is sometimes extended throughout an entire work. • Why Writers Use it: Extended metaphors allow writers to draw a larger comparison between two things or ideas. In rhetoric, they allow the audience to visualize a complex idea in a memorable way or tangible. They highlight a comparison in a more intense way than simple metaphors or similes. • Usually A LOT of Symbolism!!! • Your poem needs to be creative, an extended metaphor, at least 12 lines

  5. Thursday February 2, 2012Happy Groundhog’s Day!! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wTOkG2DNO8 • After reading the memoir Night, what will you remember most? … what impact has this book had on your life?

  6. Warm-Up Monday 2.6.2012

  7. T is for TITLE • Analyze the title first. • What do you predict this poem will be about? • Write down your predictions. • We will reflect on the title again after we have read the poem. • The next step is often omitted, but it is the most important!!!!

  8. READTHEPOEM!!!!

  9. P is for PARAPHRASE • Paraphrasing is putting something in your own words. • After reading the poem, rewrite it in your own words. • This may be three sentences or a page, depending on the particular poem.

  10. Analyze the figures of speech and sound effects of the poem. These are the poetry vocabulary we have already studied. These elements add to the meaning. C is for CONNOTATION apostrophe ASSONANCE alliteration RHYME diction personification onomatopoeia simile implied metaphor meter HYPERBOLE direct metaphor

  11. A is for ATTITUDE • Tone is the attitude of the speaker toward the subject of the poem.

  12. S is for SHIFT • If there is a change in… • Time • Tone • Speaker This should always be noted as this will also affect the meaning.

  13. T is for TITLE (again) • At this time, you should reconsider the title. • Were you right in your predictions? • What other meanings might the title have in light of your analysis? • Next, the biggie….

  14. T is for THEME • As you already know, theme is the general insight into life conveyed by the author through his/her work. • It does not make a judgment. example: “Don’t do drugs” is not a theme. • It merely states something that is true to life and the human condition.

  15. How do I find the THEME? • Look at the other parts of TPCASTT. • What insight are all of these working together to convey? • What is the poet trying to say about life?

  16. Connection to a Clip: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8UL_9R_W-Y • As you view the clip, write down connections to “O Captain, My Captain” • Focus on symbolism!
