How to Analyze a Poem in Seven Easy Steps

[@UzziahRoberts]

Thanks for simplifying the explication of a poem.I'm taking a 8 week course in English Comp 2 and have a teacher who's strength isn't in explaining what was expected of us. Hence why I'm searching KZbin for answers. I'm definitely going to share this with my classmates who were just as confused as I was.Once again a big THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!

37:34 is a repeat of the video,thank me later

[@angelstarfire]

Thank you!

[@angelo6082]

7 easy steps! in 1 hour and 15 minutes

[@intrepidneon]

XD I thought the same thing when I saw the timeline.

[@deliawoo462]

This was extremely helpful. I’ve got an exam in 2 weeks and was worried sick looking through videos on KZbin and not understanding , until I found this video! Thank you so much ♥️

[@BJ-fj6jw]

I'm really liking your class! Will continue this to the end .... love the way you explain things. A poem is about "Feelings"... got it! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. You have a subscriber.

[@myq0728]

It is a good video with great analizing techniques in it. I did make notes and paused the video to participate the reflection process.

[@ler2037]

I don't know how are you doing , but , i just want to say thank you for the help , queen .

Kind of takes all the joy out of reading a poem. I have one step--what does this mean? I can ask it of the title, I can ask it of the words, I can ask it of the lines, I can ask it of the sounds, of the images, the rhythm, etc. Just read it. Read it aloud. Ponder on it. Of course you're right--familiarity helps. Helps to know all that stuff about alliteration, iambs, trochee, the meter, enjambment, metaphor, analogies, yes, that stuff does help, you'll discover it's indispensable, but read them! Read lots of them. Find one that seems to speak to you--THAT is the one you analyze. And I like your selection! Reminds me of a line from another poem, "F#$! poems and they're useful..." from Amiri Bakara, if I spelled his name right. Crude yes--but the same idea. Nice presentation. Good method to start with. You're giving them the instruments of torture--but maybe they will be able to eventually dispense with them and just read.

[@manafro2714]

It "takes all the joy out of reading a poem" for those who already enjoy reading poetry. This video is meant for the rest, who may develop an appreciation for it thanks to these methods, although you seem to agree with this conclusion if I understood you correctly.

[@sgjkahbbgjmK]

I loved the process! Thank youuu!!

[@JasonBatterham]

This is amazing, thank you, you explain things so well.

[@fatma1991katty]

thaaaank youu for this great and precious effort !! in need for more videos like this one...

[@aApTiN]

The purpose of the poem is to introduce audiance to the aliveness of the poem. How it can be:mysterios, exciting, fun, interesting, frightening etc. It is living creature having its own experience. We can almost see it, feel it , taste it. However, we are not able to experinence these feelings for ourselves, if we are searching only for the meaning-confession. we don't want to live with the poem, we overlook it, as we overlook many things in life, we don't enjoy it , we just want to see the end.

[@alittax]

That's a beautiful analysis, thank you! :)

[@diwakarkumardev5838]

Thank you J Du uploading this video,as it helped me a lot to understand the analysis of poem.since I'm going to take a test on English next month,so a big big thank u once again.

[@jimmynoronha9959]

Thanks, quite interesting indeed. Must confess, I would like to visit you again and again for I like to read what you have spread out in here.

[@ricardoloyola4776]

nigga stfu and kiss me

[@torionocoleman2090]

Thank you for the information. Nice connections.

[@vanessalopez9548]

I love this video!! I am going to use it to help me with my students. By the way, the video is not an hour long, it looks like it plays twice.

[@roseb2105]

i like the orderly systematic way of going about it

[@roseb2105]

just beating a confesssion ( is my "proof" of that thats what you usually do when trying to get somthing out of them that they will not tell you directly

[@theculturalpanglossian5517]

A very informative film, thank you for posting. My only 'feedback' might be to bring the mic closer for your next one. Cool stuff :-)

[@starrprice7435]

Excellent information...thanks!

[@ricardoloyola4776]

hit me up cutie u thick

[@TheDusk44]

Thank you for this video. I'm really good with writing poetry, but I have trouble trying to teach it.

[@roseb2105]

this will sound stupid but i interpret it as some people trying to overanalyze a poem and some people just like to read it for its simplicity of buetiful sounding words our literary device and they get frustrated when people try to find its meaning but it can mean whatever you want it to mean

[@Giraffemy]

This video goes for 37 minutes and then it replays the same 37 minutes of content again....., but otherwise it's great.

[@d.holland3025]

Good Job

[@naima3561]

I read the title and it said 'Seven Easy Steps' but then saw the video was 1 hour and 15 minutes. Lmao here!

[@NiccoloSeilo]

how tf do you do this for an hour

[@MrAndyCarlos]

+Niccolo' Seilo lmao good question.

[@leerdee]

a poem is good or its not. all these videos throw me for a loop. think want you want or think not. what is the poet saying it's up to him the message, for you maybe not! good video I am a poet hope you liked my snout...

[@roseb2105]

this is great thank you so much

[@charlottehughes2162]

Thank you 🙏

[@GMT395]

Might be a foolish question, but can this be understood without looking at the video? I´d like to listen to it while I´m working.

[@isadorav6914]

Not really

[@protopanini8070]

Well I don't have that much time on my exam. Kek

[@Giraffemy]

+Iwurz Just think through steps 1-6 (TPFAST) in your head using full sentences. The process in this video takes so long because of all the explaining and writing she does.

[@roseb2105]

my evidence for this ( testing probing walking inside it" the analysis side of it. ( but they want it to just say what it means directly so that their can be no argument about it

[@naima3561]

But thanks for the video it was useful!

[@kojik4271]

Lost me at tpfastt. Hahahaha the analogy at the beginning was very annoying considering the length of the video. Ty though

[@pablobenincasa2386]

Thumbs up who bothers that arrow !!

[@EasyEnglishjabalpur]

Nice #easyenglishjabalpur

[@pokemongurlz]

Nothing in your steps about prosody or anything? 😮 Seems to be all my literature teacher talks about

[@kojik4271]

pokemongurlz what is prosody?

[@Ocelot1962]

I can barely hear this.

[@benschwartz9841]

Boomer

[@georgehyde861]

bad

[@drdingus9493]

ugh this stuff is the worst, shout out to my fellow students trying to not vomit through the poetry section of literature class.
