Post 1

Respond to one of the following questions in a new post. Remember to answer thoughtfully and use your best writing techniques.  This post is due by midnight on Monday 11/1

1. Do you like or not like Holden so far? Why?

2. In your opinion, why doesn’t Holden like school? Why is he failing? Is he dumb?

3. Is Holden writing his story, or do you think what you’re reading is him narrating it? Why?

4. Holden is critical of many things and often uses the word “phony” to express his criticism. What would you say he is critical of and what does this tell us about him? (Incorporate at least 4 examples/quotes in your response.)
