Abstract
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.
