TPCASTT analysis of "the world is too much with us"

T= The world is too much with us, this suggets to me that humans are making earth too human not natural. Title "the world is too much with us" associates a human vs Nature theme in the Poem.
P=Humans have overthrown the balance of nature on earth. Humans are too concerned about what they don't have when they be concentrating on what they do have. We are taking nature for granted. We still ignore the beauty of nature. And now the bountiful gifts of nature are muddled into one. We are confused and traveling down the wrong path, yet we are oblivious to our mistake. Id rather follow old traditions than risk destruction and stay boring yet ,safe. And wonder what could have been but not live it. The peom is somewhat abou a change and development and tecknolodgy that could corrupt us and the world.
C=Form=Sonnet, Diction=Evolution, Imagery=sky scrapers, jets, computers, Point Of View=nature scared of humans, Details=Gods of the sea are reffered to, as well as personification("the wind howled"), Allusions="hear old triton blow his wreathed horn". Symbolism=plane crashed in a forest, then the forest catches on fire, Figurative Language="we have given our hearts away","this sea bares her bosom to the moon", "we gathered now like sleeping flowers"
A=The speakers attitude seems to be in an angry mood with humans. The speaker thinks that it would be better for the human race to be simpler like we were centuries ago. The author is saying that humans are not respecting nature. The author seems to be expressing his own feelings through the speaker as well as the other characters and he seems to be having an argument with other humans who wish to keep epanding, and the author is trying to reach the reader with his poem.
S=Middle of the second line= voice shift, 3rd line=setting shift, 4th line=tone shift, 8.5 line=voice shift, 9-11= voice shift, 11-14 line=tone shift.
T=The title tells us the peom is about humans and the world, allowing the reader to know Humans are being accused of various mistakes.
T=Subjects=1)The world, 2)humans getting and spending/overlooking, what we have, 3) Simpler and more considerate of nature.
Abstract Ideas= 1) "This sea bares her bosom to the moon", 2)I'd rather be a pagan suckled into a creed outworn, so might I, standing on this pleasant lea, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn, 3) "Have a sight of poteus rising from the sea or hear Triton blow his wreathed horn.
Theme=" The world is to much with us" is a man vs nature theme, about humans ignoring and not respecting nature.
