Hi,
I have to read a poem and answer 2 questions. But I am not able to understand the questions.
I have to read 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'
and answer the questions below:
1) In presenting the reader with J. Alfred Prufrock, Eliot is also presenting an argument about an individual’s sense of self in modern society. Articulate a claim for this argument. (What am I supposed to do? What does 'articulate claim for argument mean'? Do I have to give my own view and reasons why the poet's view is correct?)
2)What specific evidence is offered in the poem to support the claim you wrote in the previous question? (Do I have to cite stanzas from the poem that support what the author belief or do I have to cite stanzas that are the author's belief?)
Thanks in advance.
