Happy Friday the 13th! Today we tackled one of the most famous poems to come out of the early modernist movement - "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot. We looked at a power point that explains some of the allusions the poem makes and I asked you to think about the poet's intention while you read - who is the speaker? Is it the poet or the voice of this character J. Alfred Prufrock? What is he trying to say? What is his mood? Why do you think he feels this way? Etc. After reading along to an audio recording of T.S. Eliot reciting this famous poem, you got into small groups of two or three and began work on a close analysis of this poem using an organizer. Download a copy below if you were absent or have misplaced it. If you didn't finish it in class, it is homework. I will be collecting them and we'll be going over it on Tuesday. Enjoy the long weekend!! =)Friday, February 13, 2009
