Today we began to prepare for reading our first novel of the year, Catcher in the Rye. Please read through Chapter 3 (pages 1-26) by Thursday (Wednesday for Period 8).We discussed characteristics of rebellion and censorship, which are two issues that we will be dealing with as we get farther into the novel.
We also briefly discussed the poem "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg, which we will tackle together as a class during the coming block days. We read over an analysis of "Howl" as well as some background information that will be needed when we read the poem in class tomorrow and Thursday. Get that handout by clicking here.
