I'm liking the story more and more. I certainly don't like the cussing and the innappropriot ihings mentioned, but it's not as bad as it could be. (Yes, I'm trying to be optimistic about it.)
Questions posed by Mrs. Marietta:
* If you were Holden, and you had just been kiched out
of school, where would you go? Why?
> I would probably go back home, my parents would
deserve to know what happened, and I wouldn't waste
all of my money on hotels and the like, because
eventually the money will run out and I'd have to go
back home, anyways. The money might as well be saved.
* Free-write about Jane's character and her importance
to Holden
> Jane seems to be of good quality. Obviously, she's
not the smartest, since she agreed to go on a date with
Holden's ex-roommate, but Holden still believes she was
smart enough to tell him "no", and mean it. Jane seems to
be a reminder of the innocence of Holden's childhood,
and he can't seem to stop thinking about her, and any
other stories that could possibly be connected to her.
* At the end of Chapter 12, Holden says, "people
are always ruining things for you." Discuss whether
or not you think that is true. Can you think of a time
someone "ruined" something for you?
> I think the statement is partially true, that other
people's decisions can negatively affect how you
feel / what happens; but I'm not of the opinion that
your whole life, and all of the "ruin"s included, were
caused by other "people". I can't think of a time
when "people" ruined things for me, because I've
been taught that you are in charge of you, so it's
your fault if you get angry, since you're the one
that let them get under your skin.
