1. What drew me to read this book was the fact that i never read a book like this one before. I expect to discover more new things about the main character Holden. He doesn't really let us know who he really is, he hides his personality, attitude and feelings.
2. The fact that the book is getting more interesting has kept me reading it. All our class in reading it to it's a good book.
3. I usually read before i sleep, i do this because that way i feel that I'll remember more information of what i read.
-
1. The books starts with Holden not giving us any information about him, something very unusual because most characters when they are introduce tend to give information about themselves. Later on we discover that Holden is not a normal teenager, he doesn't seem to like anyone. We can also tell that he is not to interesting in school.
2. So far i would say that the theme of the novel is cowardice because Holden is afraid is letting us know who he really is.
3. The author's tone is direct he is strait forward:
- When Holden says he isn't going to tell us his biography.
-When Holden says he is just going to tell us the bad stuff it happened to him last Christmas.
- When Holden says his brother wrote terrific short stories.
4. Literary elements:
- Holdens is a static character he doesn't change to much.
- There's an allusion when Holden talks about his Brother's baseball mitt.
- There's an allusion when he talks about Jane.
- There's suspense when Holden and Stradlater fight.
- Most of the setting of this story takes place in Pencey
- The theme of story can be cowardice.
