his life, although through his unenthusiastic commentary readers are able to infer a great deal about him. Everything learned about Prufrock is learned not from his declarations of "knowing", but from the way he makes his coffee "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" (Eliot 51); and the way he debates whether or not to change his diet even the slightest bit "Do I dare eat a peach?"

Flashback: Pearls and feathers, bobs and glamour! Reality: I was sitting at the very back of my poor excuse of a high school’s plain old, bland “English 4” class in Levi mom jeans, a cropped top, and Chuck Taylors; except I wasn’t. I wasn’t at all. (Take One): Pouncing upon my sister’s Macbook Air, I was on a written escapade away from the Upper West Side’s public school nightmare and, instead, running up and down the catwalk at New York’s Couture’s 1956 Fashion Show! In a riveting, platinum…
