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

what will you remember most? … what impact has this book had on your life?
Warm-Up Monday 2.6.2012
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!!!!
READ THE POEM!!!!
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.
C is for CONNOTATION• 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.
A is for ATTITUDE• Tone is the
attitude of the speaker toward the subject of the poem.
S is for SHIFT• If there is a change
in…– Time– Tone– SpeakerThis should always
be noted as this will also affect the meaning.
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….
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.
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?
