Excerpt from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot

To roll it towards some overwhelming question,

To say: ‘I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all ̶
Should say: That is not what I meant at all.
That is not it, at all;

Examples of Allusion:

You are basically Einstein.

My child is being a Hitler today.

My house looks like a Garden of Eden.

"I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio's!”

He acts like he is the biggest Romeo around town, and cares less what anyone says.

He can scale any structure as if he were Spider-Man.

She fell for him, knowing well that he is nothing less than a Casanova.

After a short discussion on allusion, the teacher will let the students listen to the literary
selection from the book entitled, “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, through a mobile phone. The
students will read the poem silently as the poem is playing.

task. They are going to answer the activity on page 115 of their book with a 15-minute
allotted time. And they will present their task to the rest of the class.

Respite ̶̶̶ respite and nepenthe

from thy memories of Lenore!

Is there ̶ is there balm in the
