Technique — Identify the writer's method: simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, etc.

Explain — Explain the effect of that technique. What does it suggest? How does it create mood or meaning?

Structure — Look at stanza length, line breaks, rhyme scheme, and rhythm (e.g., iambic pentameter). Does the shape mirror the content?
结构 — 关注诗节长度、分行、押韵格式和节奏（如抑扬格五音步）。形式是否映照内容？
Language — Identify similes, metaphors, alliteration, and other devices. Think about word choice: are words harsh, soft, archaic?
语言 — 识别明喻、暗喻、头韵等手法。思考用词：词语是刺耳、柔和还是古语？
Imagery — How does the poet appeal to the senses? Look for visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory images.
意象 — 诗人如何诉诸感官？寻找视觉、听觉、触觉、嗅觉、味觉意象。
Meaning — What are the literal and deeper meanings? Consider themes like love, loss, nature, conflict.

Effect — How does the poem make you feel? What is the poet's intended impact on the reader?
效果 — 诗歌给你什么感受？诗人意在对读者产生何种影响？

象征 — 一个物体代表更宏大的观念（如鸽子代表和平）。它在不直言的情况下使意义更丰厚。
8. Comparing Texts Formula | 比较文本公式
When comparing, avoid separate blocked paragraphs about each text. Instead, integrate both texts around one comparative point.
进行比较时，避免为每个文本各自写分块段落。而是围绕一个比较点把两个文本融合。
Use connecting words: Similarly, Likewise, In the same way, Whereas, In contrast, On the other hand, However.
使用连接词：Similarity (相似地)、Likewise (同样地)、In the same way (以相同方式)、Whereas (然而)、In contrast (相比之下)、On the other hand (另一方面)、However (但是)。
raph formula: Point linking both texts → Evidence from Text A → Technique in A → Explain A's effect, then Evidence from Text B → Technique in B → Explain B's effect → Contrasting/similar reader response.
可靠的比较段落公式：连接两文本的观点 → 文本 A 的证据 → 文本 A 的技巧 → 解释 A 的效果，然后是文本 B 的证据 → 文本 B 的技巧 → 解释 B 的效果 → 对比/相似的读者反应。
For example, "While Text A uses a violent metaphor to shock the reader, Text B relies on a calm simile to create a reflective mood. This contrast shows how different perspectives shape the theme of loss."
例如，"文本 A 使用暴力暗喻以震撼读者，而文本 B 依靠平和的明喻来创造沉思的情绪。这一对比显示不同视角如何塑造'失落'这一主题。"
Always mention the writers' methods and intended effects, not just plot similarities.
始终提及作者的方法和意图效果，而不仅仅是情节上的相似点。
