Poetry Notes  is the perfect tool for anyone writing a literary analysis essay. Not only does the app decode and fully explain the meaning of ten famous poems but it does so by breaking them down into their most basic parts and then showing HOW each of those elements helps to create the overall meaning. Take all the frustration and guesswork out of analytical writing and impress your instructor with a precise and highly detailed essay that avoids summary and shows how the elements of literature make meaning within a poem.Using the graphical structure of our highly successful app Literary Analysis Guide, Poetry Notes employs  color-coding, detailed annotations, and thorough notes to break down each poem into its most basic elements and illustrate how those elements develop meaning. Each of the ten titles includes a clean text version of the poem, a color-coded and fully annotated version of the poem, and an extensive notes section. In the notes section, click on any of the literary terms listed around several literary analysis wheels and a screen appears containing a detailed explanation of how that element of poetry helps to develop the overall theme of the poem.

Poetry Notes was developed by a college English professor with extensive secondary experience and is appropriate for all levels from secondary through graduate-level university academics. Whether preparing for your Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature and Composition exam or writing a paper for a graduate-level literature course, Poetry Notes will help you on your way.
