JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "We Belong Together" by Los Lobos; "One Woman Man" by John Legend; "Old Fashioned Love Song" by Three Dog Night-- and thanks everyone for your suggestions!]

How has the popular notion of love changed over time?  Do people still value monogamy?  Marriage?  Commitment?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. What Eliot meant by "Love Song"
3. Prufrock: Romantic or Schmuck?
4. Following the yellow fog

OUTCOME:
Post to your blog (title: INSIDE OUT) and explain how Prufrock and Gatsby are different on the inside -- how are their real thoughts and feelings different from the way other people see them?  Do you see this in real life? Do you or people you know sometimes appear one way on the outside and feel another on the inside?

Bonus question to consider: What (if anything) do you think Prufrock would have said if he thought his listener might share it with other people?
