In class we discussed the color white in Chapter 5. Snow is white. White can mean pure, innocent, untouched. We figured this out because of the "connotations" of the word white (what we think about as opposed to the definition). We noticed that Holden DIDN'T throw a snowball at a car covered in fresh snow.
This led us to see evidence for psychologist questions around innocence and purity.
We looked at Chapter 6 and realized that Holden was incredibly concerned about whether Stradlater was able to make out/ have sex with Jane. Therefore Holden must be very concerned with her innocence!
Every psychologist had multiple pieces of textual evidence to answer their questions.
Homework:
Chapter 7 is due for Friday. The journal entries for chapter 6 & 7 are due for Friday:
1) Holden says he is a "pacifist." What does that mean, and do you agree the he is? Are you a pacifist?
2)What is Holden's final goodbye to Pency Prep?
3)Why do you think Holden was crying when he left?
Ms. Margolis will be the guest instructor Wednesday and Friday.
