For the next four weeks, we will be reading, discussing, and writing about one of the most 'talked about' books in history. You will be applying the five critical literary theories to your reading, as well as connecting the book and character of Holden Caulfield to other texts and characters we've read throughout the semester (especially R.P. MacMurphy). In addition to these weekly assignments, you will be responding to the book informally through blogging. This blog should serve as your 'home base.' On it, you will find discussion questions, directions of assignments, and prompts for your writing.Above all, this blog should be a place for your conversation about Catcher to extend outside of the classroom. I want you to incorporate your interests in your blog and not feel confined to writing in a certain format or according to a specific thesis. Praise, vent, connect, and create...as long as you are getting involved with the themes and characters of the book, there are no boundaries in what you write on this blog.
