1. Compare/Contrast Stein and Eliot. How are their arguments similar? How are they different? Is one argument stronger than the other? How?
Both arguments are evaluating points that they beleive are the basis for someone to have talent. The writers are sharing their ideas on what they beleive creates a masterpeice and what traits we should look for. T.S. Eliot gives a very clear analysis of his thoughts and beliefs about tradition and talent. Stein's essay about masterpieces lacks punctuation, runs together, and does not make a whole lot of sense. Stein shows her points by writing the way she beleives a masterpeice is created, but I beleive her lack of punctation speeds up the reader to a point where they are not able to enjoy her work. I beleive T.S. Eliot's argument is stronger. He seems very careful to choose his words and his writing flows well, he also shows some great examples of what he means in a more literal term.
