For next class, please read Chapters 10-13.
Then, please choose one of the essay topics to write about. Your response should be around 250 words.
1. Discuss Holden's red hunting hat. What have you noticed about it? You may discuss its color or what you think it symbolizes. How does he act when it is to the back or to the front? Please give specific instances from the book.
2. Holden may be considered an "unreliable narrator," especially since he claims to be a liar himself. What are some things that he has told us in the book that may not be entirely true?
3. Think about how Holden labels people around him as "phony." Do you think Holden is sometimes hypocritical and acts "phony" as well? Give specific examples to support your answer.
Have fun reading and writing, and I'll see you next Friday!
