There is no question that fragmentation is an important motif throughout The Wasteland. The entire poem is an odorous potpourri of dialogue‚ images‚ scholarly ideas‚ foreign words‚ formal styles‚ and tones. The reader’s journey through this proverbial wasteland is a trying one‚ to say the least. Unless one is endowed with a depthless wealth of literary knowledge‚ Eliot’s cornucopia of allusions and overzealous use of juxtaposition may leave them in a state of utter confusion. Luckily‚ there is hope

Lucy Walker’s documentary Wasteland (2010) is an artist’s biopic of Vik Muniz with a strong underlying theme of perspective. Walker’s contention‚ in a way similar to Dziga Vertov’s while he lived‚ is to change the reader’s perspective on the ideas and issues presented in the documentary by using a colourful variety of documentary techniques.

Tyler D. Gifford Mr. Rauh Academy AP English Language 12 9 September 2012 Eliot’s Guide to Cultural and Personal Redemption T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land has by far been the most challenging poem I have ever read. He uses vague and confusing imagery with a variety of sentence structures which almost comes off as gibberish.
