Notes on Love Song
1. Fillers--avoid: "throughout the poem"  "later on", rather be specific; establish a setting, as in as Purfrock ponders the evening ahead, he anticipates   OR
Once Purfrock realizes he will be unable to "ask the question", he... OR
Pufrock initially compares himself to Hamlet:"I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be" (111), but realizes he is merely "an attendant lord", meant "to swell a progress" (113). Similarly to Hamlet, Prufrock is a procrastinator; however, the man with "the bald spot in the middle of [his]is hair" (40) is too "politic" and "deferential"; he has no noble qualities. 


2. Do not / never / ever/ ever....start out with "in line (s). You must incorporate the text!

3. Stanzas are the poetic equivalents of prose paragraphs.

4. Keep objective...do not mention the reader or we

5. What is a conclusion?

  a. Summary: remind your reader of your thesis, but do not repeat it...paraphrase...be original
  b. broader background:  relate your thesis to a broader point with larger implications for you, the reader or the world
  c. intensified insight:  reinforce the significance of your argument; leave the reader thinking about your point, considering some action or recognizing some universal truth.
