The Prufrock Makeover.

Soles, Derek

English Journal, v88 n4 p59-61 Mar 1999

Describes how high school students can give J. Alfred Prufrock (from T.S. Eliot's serious poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock") a "makeover" so he can acquire more self-confidence. Shows how this makeover exercise can lead students to a deeper general understanding and appreciation of complex literary characters and of a poem, story, or play. (SR)
