TPCASTT:  Poem Analysis Method:  title, paraphrase, connotation, diction, attitude, tone, shift(s), title revisited and theme
Title of poem means	Mr. Pope as a title is to represent the memory of main character and how he is now gone
Paraphrase  parts of the Poem	"For Pope's tight back was rather a goat's than man's" -scared others "Than skeletons provide for speedy dust, The urn gets hollow, cobwebs brittle as stones" -  he was brittle and old and then passed away
Connotation  of some of the words – changing literal meaning to implied or associated values	"dribbled couplets like a snake" - loved to write poetry
Attitude What is the attitude of the author, characters or yourself?	The author is showing remorse for the character. He is a sad unloved man who never got attention and even in his afterlife he disappearing  with no one noticing.
Shift At first we think or feel one way – then there is a shift:  identify the shifts and explain them	"Is missing. The jar is empty; you may break It only to find that Mr. Pope is gone." - even though he already passed he was still physically there. Then his shifts to where he is gone and not tangible.
Title revisited Any new insights on meaning or significance of title?	Nothing really else strikes being such a simple name with it being named after the main character
Theme	The tone is dark and mysterious seeing as it involves death and the body disappearing.
