3. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a poem about modernism and how some modernists felt in society. Many people amy say that this is one of the most influenced modernistic piece. Modernism is a hard word to find a definition for because it is always changing and can effect people in many ways. Like said in this poem "of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels" (Eliot). There can be many different interpretations for this word, but he feels alienated and left out. That he is living from hotel to hotel and does not have a steady life with a family or home. That he may be alone and no one cares for him or may even know he is there. That he is just getting by and makes ends meet, by living day-by-day and not keeping anything long term.

4. There are many different existentialists, but an existentialist is not what many think. There are many different ways of achieving the way of existentialism. Some traditional ways of viewing existentialism is "Fear of Freedom, Anxiety, Despair" (Shingler). With the Fear of Freedom many people try to find their self through their own freedom. Anxiety is a way of acceptance and to bring the internal out to the external. A way to keep safe from others and not to harmed by the loss of anything. Despair is another way of viewing the path to a true existentialist. When an existentialist runs into hard times sometimes toughing it out is what is needed to be done.
