Day 148

Catcher Reading Schedule:  Write into your calendar.  You are responsible for reading even if you are absent.  

Monday:  Chapter 9 and questions and symbol analysis
Tuesday:  10-11
Wednesday:  12
Thursday:  13-15
Friday:  16-17
 
1.  Discussion of Catcher in the Rye Chapters 7 and 8:  Who is going to lead our discussion today?

Discuss:  Holden asks Stradlater if Jane still "keeps her kings in the back row" after Stradlater went on a date with her.  This is a metaphor.  In checkers, what is the importance of the "Kings" and why would someone keep them on the back row?  Now, what does Holden mean when he asks this to Stradlater?

Discuss:  Holden thinks that everyone else in the world are a bunch of "Phonies."  What is ironic about this throughout Chapter 8 when Holden meets the attractive older lady on the train?

2.  Read Chapter 9 and complete handout:

3.  Tomorrow:  I need something to grade and you have to practice for the AP Test:  Q3 essay:  Make sure you know a long piece (I would know two) that you can use to respond to a prompt.  You have read Grendel, Frankenstein, Othello, but you can use any literary piece to respond.
