Students wrote on a prompt in class. The Prompt is: “Would you rather die for a cause and be remembered forever? Or live your life for a cause in obscurity?” This prompt is based on something Holden’s ex-teacher said to Holden (pg 188) of Catcher. Read the context of the quote before writing. You might consider if you would respond differently to the prompt if it hadn’t been brought up by this particular character.

After discussing this prompt students had their homework (see the last blog entry) checked off. After discussing the homework students were assigned a short writing assignment. This is due tomorrow: Thisn about the behaviors and attitudes Holden exhibits. Which are related to his trauma. Using evidence from the text explain why you think one of these attitudes or behaviors is related to his trauma and why you think that.
