Modern Literature - September 12, 2008

Today was a busy Friday! We spent some time discussing the warm up today (click on the link below to view it). There were two questions that were addressed, and we discussed Holden as an unreliable narrator since we can only see things through his point of view.
We also watched two short film clips that made obvious connections to Catcher in the Rye. One was a short clip from the film When Harry Met Sally, and the other was a clip from the film Six Degrees of Separation. Will Smith gives an awesome monologue about the book (view the clip below) and addresses two of the issues we discussed in class on Wednesday and Thursday this week. We also did a fun in-class writing activity that responded to one of the quotes in the novel.
There is no reading assignment this weekend - please take advantage and get caught up with the reading if you are behind. Have Chapter 15 done by Monday.

Watch the video clip here.
