Dr.G. Catcher, End of Madman Day 1

dividingmoments.blogspot.com
In Chapters 9-14, Holden has arrived at Grand Central Station (pictured left) and finishes his first madman day in NYC.
After you finish your reading and 54321 notes, comment on your notes for #3 and #1 below.

For the #3, your Higher Order Thinking Questions:
What are your questions about Holden, his actions and his decisions? 
List questions worthy of discussion, ones that start with "Why...?" and "How...?" 



For #1, your working theme:
Suggest reasons that Salinger would write for adults about the 3 madman days of Holden Caulfield. 
What would adults find informative or entertaining about Holden's escapades or comments?

  • Remember that a theme is not a summary, but an idea that people might draw out of a reading experience and apply to life in general. 
  • Try starting with "People should..." or "People should not..."
