# Poem Commentary Generator
Project to create a free tool to help students learn to analyze poetry.

## Basics
This tool is inspired by language learning primers like [this Latin student aid](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=njp.32101015068578&seq=15) for Vergil's *Aeneid*. Drawing on the metaphor of a foreign language, I created this tool to create a line-by-line commentary on a target poem to support students.

**The outputs of this "custom GPT" should not be taken on trust, nor are they meant to replace or to simulate student work, but rather to supplement it.** Reflection on the outputs is encouraged, for example, why the LLM so often struggles with basic sound patterns (e.g., alliteration, rhyme). Such conversations can develop critical AI literacy skills.
