1. One way to understand/demonstrate understanding of a writer’s work is to write in that writer’s style. So, compose a 14-line stanza in the Modernist/stream of consciousness style of T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” (1516). Remember Eliot broke with traditional line length and rhymes; used snatches of conversation; changed points of view; mixed concrete, colloquial language with proper speech; alluded to other bodies of knowledge such as the Bible, Shakespeare, fashion of the day–and probably would have used popular rappers, concert idols, etc.–along with incorporating internal rhyme, much alliteration, and enjambment (run-on lines). In your excerpt, you must include a name from your family (very extended included), a specific car in your life (ex. Dodge Charger, Yugo, Olds Silhouette, Ford Mustang GT), a specific toy, an acquaintance of positive or horrid consequences, and a specific geographic location. As in “The Love Song,” your first line (s) must be an invitation and your final two lines must be a refrain as in “In the room the women come and go/Talking of Michelangelo.”
