Introduction:
Some writers do not simply state the facts as they are. They use figurative
language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the
literal interpretation to force readers to imagine or intuit what an author means
with an expression or statement.
When exploring how a writer uses literary elements and
stylistic techniques to convey meaning or theme, it is useful to use the SIFT
method. It allows us to "SIFT' through the parts in order to comprehend the
whole.
Preliminary Activity:
Read the poem (Southwest Asian poetry) below and answer the questions that follow

The Ocean

The pungent smell of saltwater soaks the air


The sound of swishing, crashing impatient waves
Are rolling children dog-piling in playful chaos
Racing toward the shore
Bare feet crush barnacles on rugged rocks
And slip on slimy, soft, lush algae
A smooth rounded horizon
Reveals white wings on water
And like a glass orb
Glistens in sunlight

1. How does the poet initially describe the ocean?


2. What does ― The sound of swishing, crashing
impatient waves‖ mean?
3. What figurative device does the poet use in the first
line?
4. What message does the poem convey?

SIFT Method for Analyzing Literature

SIFT Method - It is a literary tool that can be used to analyze a specific


literature by filling out a table or grid where one can write the symbol, imagery,
figurative

language and the tone and theme revealed in a certain literature.

SYMBOL

An object, person, or place that has meaning within itself but stands
for something else in the context of the story. It is the practice of
representing things by means of symbols.
Example: heart – love
IMAGERY
When an image is evoked through the use of really descriptive language
based from our senses.

Example: beautiful maiden, cold wind, dark night


FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE

Includes (but is not limited to) simile, metaphor, hyperbole, repetition,


alliteration, among others
TONE AND THEME
Tone is the attitude and author takes on the subject he/she is writing about
Theme = Plot + Tone

LOVE YOURSELF
By Justin Bieber
For all the times that you rain on my parade And I didn't wanna write a song cause I didn't
want anyone thinking I still care
And all the clubs you get in using my name I don't but, you still hit my phone up
You think you broke my heart, oh girl for And baby I be movin' on and I think you should
goodness sake be somethin'
You think I'm crying, on my own well I ain't I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should
know that
And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
want anyone thinking I still care And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I don't but, you still hit my phone up And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't
And baby I be movin' on and I think you should see what's going on
be somethin' But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should 'Cause if you like the way you look that much
know that Oh baby you should go and love yourself
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to
And I never like to admit that I was wrong somethin'
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't You should go and love yourself
see what's going on
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own For all the times you made me feel small
I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all
Cause if you like the way you look that much I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
Oh baby you should go and love yourself Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to 'Cause if you like the way you look that much
somethin' Oh baby you should go and love yourself
You should go and love yourself And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to
somethin'
When you told me that you hated my friends You should go and love yourself
The only problem was with you and not them 'Cause if you like the way you look that much
And every time you told me my opinion was Oh baby you should go and love yourself
wrong (yeah)
And tried to make me forget where I came And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm)
from Still holdin' on (holdin on), to somethin'
You should go and love yourself
