For tomorrow's class, we are assigned to read T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred
Prufrock." When talking to Nigel about what the poem actually means (which was hard for me to get right away), he gave me a poem that we'll be reading tomorrow. It is much like the assignment we are about to get, rewrite "
Prufrock." It's called "Other Observations" by Connie Cooper, and to be completely honest, I find it more interesting, more endearing, and way easier to read than its origin.
It's probably my new favorite poem. This one line sticks out in particular:
"Time to condemn and punish ideals,
Time to hide what time reveals"
I'm kind of excited to write my own version, especially if it comes out as good as Cooper's
