Woman Work

TPCASTT POEM ANALYSIS METHOD

Title: (Of poem means) The title reflects the poem perfectly. Each and every line depicts a woman's work and that's something that needs to happen when writing a good poem. 

Paraphrase: (Parts of poem) Part of the poem that stuck out to me were the lines naming off each and every one of the "chores" the woman had to do. There's nothing more on point then those lines concerning a day in a life with women in general... Well most at least.

Connotation: (Changing literal meaning of words to implied values) When reading through the poem and trying to visualize and connect to, the words that had the biggest impact on me was the constant religion of the words "I got to, I got to, I got to". This is just really emphasizing how women feel about their duties. There's always a long list and no words mirror that feeling better than the words "I got to" over and over again.

Attitude: (Attitude of author, characters or yourself) The attitude of this novel is quite easy to pick up and understand. The characters (women) attitude isn't the happiest/ easy going. This poem shows the struggles and tiring of work women have to go through. My attitude towards the poem was shocking positive, but it was that way because of how much I was agreeing with it. Very on point. I find it 10 times easier to enjoy a poem that you relate to more. 

Shift: (Thinking one way at first then another later on) There was a slight shift throughout this poem. From talking about the "I got to" over a couple of lines then into wanted a fresh start to restart herself was a slight transition, but overall kept the same meaning and theme.

Title Revisited: (Any new insights on meaning or significance of title) the title couldn't have been more on point. The meaning of the title was portrayed perfectly throughout the piece. 

Theme: The theme of the poem was over all describing a day in the life of a women. Women do so much for others and themselves. Most the the rigorous work is just expected for our gender and that's just how society works.
