T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, is a poem with no clear theme or intent. There are many ideas and problems presented making it difficult to speculation as to what exactly prompted the creation of such poetry. T.S.

In 2012 the Walt Disney Company released a commercial entitled “I am a Princess” that shows a diverse array of young girls doing many different activities while inspirational music plays in the background and the voice of a young girl proclaims what qualities make up a princess.

The women Odysseus had come across during his journey home were Kirke, the witch and the Sirens, who are like mermaids. Odysseus had come upon Circe’s Island, and had met a witch named Kirke while he was there.
