Structure your post like a formal essay; your goal is to present a persuasive argument, an interpretation of your selected text. Begin with an introduction that provides an overview of the selected text (identify the title and author) so that your ideas are in context for the reader; then explain your purpose, your interpretation of the text; this is your thesis. Then in the post’s body, support this thesis with evidence, including quotes, from the primary text; you may also evidence from the scholarly sources in the course content. Organize your post effectively; the reader should be able to follow a cohesive argument. Introduce quotes, explain them to the reader, and cite them using MLA style, but you do not need a Works Cited if your sources are clear in the post. The first time you use an author or critic, provide his/her full and the title of the article; thereafter, use only the last name.
Question: “The Love Song of J. Alfred Purfrock” is written in stream of consciousness; what is this narrative technique? Define this term and explain why Eliot uses this technique. How does the narrative relate to Prufrock’s personality or the meaning of the poem? Remember that the poem is fragmented, reflecting the chaos of the modern world; the stream of consciousness narrative technique reflects the confusion in Prufrock’s mind as well as the chaos of the Modern world.
