TP-CASTT Poetry Analysis
T Title Before you even think about reading the poetry or trying
to analyze it, speculate on what
you think the poem might be about based upon the title. Often
time, authors conceal
meaning and give clues in the title. Jot down what you think
this poem will be about

2. P Paraphrase Before you begin thinking about meaning or trying
to analyze the poem, don't overlook the
literal meaning of the poem. One of the biggest problems that
students often make in
poetry analysis is jumping to conclusions before understanding
what is taking place in the
poem. When you paraphrase a poem, write in your own words
exactly what happens in
each line of the poem. Look at the number of sentences in the
poem—your paraphrase
should have exactly the same number. This technique is
especially helpful for poems
written in the 17th and 19th centuries that use language that is
harder to understand.
C Connotation Although this term usually refers solely to the
emotional overtones of word choice, for this
chart the term refers to any and all poetic devices, focusing on
how such devices contribute
to the meaning, the effect, or both of a poem. You may consider
imagery, figures of speech
(simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism, etc), diction,
point of view, and sound
devices (alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm, and rhyme). It is
not necessary that you
identify all the poetic devices within the poem. The ones you do
identify should be seen as
a way of supporting the conclusions you are going to draw
about the poem.
A Attitude Having examined the poem's devices and clues
closely, you are now ready to explore the
multiple attitudes that may be present in the poem. Examination
of diction, images, and
details suggests the speaker's attitude and contributes to

3. understanding. Think about the
tone of the poem and how the author has created it. Remember
that usually the tone or
attitude cannot be named with a single word - think complexity.
S Shifts Rarely does a poem begin and end the poetic
experience in the same place. As is true of
most us, the poet's understanding of an experience is a gradual
realization, and the poem is
a reflection of that understanding or insight. Watch for the
following keys to shifts:
• key words, (but, yet, however, although)
• punctuation (dashes, periods, colons, ellipsis)
• stanza divisions
• changes in line or stanza length or both
• irony
• changes in sound that may indicate changes in meaning
• changes in diction
T Title Now look at the title again, but this time on an
interpretive level. What new insight does
the title provide in understanding the poem.
T Theme What is the poem saying about the human experience,
motivation, or condition? What
subject or subjects does the poem address? What do you learn
about those subjects? What
idea does the poet want you take away with you concerning
these subjects? Remember that
the theme of any work of literature is stated in a complete
sentence and make sure to avoid
cliche.

Mission

5. ·
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® was founded on a
mission comprised of five basic tenets that have remained
unchanged since the sorority’s inception more than a century
ago. Alpha Kappa Alpha’s mission is to cultivate and encourage
high scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and
friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate
problems concerning girls and women in order to improve their
social stature, to maintain a progressive interest in college life,
and to be of “Service to All Mankind".
The small group of women who founded Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority at the turn of the last century were conscious of their
privileged position as college-trained women of color just one
generation removed from slavery. But at the same time, they
were sensitive to the needs and struggles of the less fortunate in
underserved communities in their hometowns and in other
environs beyond their travels who were in need of goods,
services and opportunities beyond their reach. The young
collegians’ commitment to scholarship, leadership, civic
engagement and public service, woven together by the bonds of
lifelong sisterhood, formed the bedrock of the rich legacy of
servant-leadership that epitomizes the sorority to this day. And
the global reach of its programs, laser-focused on the health,
wealth, family, education, human rights and parity issues that
concern its constituents, ensures the relevance of the
organization into perpetuity.
