Blog 10: Call to the Author

From Activity I of the Wrap-Up on Catcher in the Rye, would you like to call J.D. Salinger/ one of J.D. Salinger's relatives? If you would, write a paragraph on what you would want to talk to him about and what you would say to or ask him. If not, write a paragraph about the reasons you would not want to talk to him.

After you post, visit a student's blog and read his/ her thoughts on the novel. Leave a comment if you feel you have something to say about the post.

If I had the chance to call J.D. Salinger, I would. I would call him asking about how he developed Holden's character. So, if he created him as to that he can relate to him. If he had a rough time in school or dealing with other people. I would also want to talk to him about where he grew up and why he created all of these tough situations in the novel. Last, I would ask him how he came up with Holden's personality.
