call to the author

From Activity I of the Wrap-Up on Catcher in the Rye, would you like to call J.D. Salinger/ one of J.D. Salinger's relatives? If you would, write a paragraph on what you would want to talk to him about and what you would say to or ask him. If not, write a paragraph about the reasons you would not want to talk to him.

If I could call J.D. Salinger I would he did this whole story in such a different type of format, it seemed like he was talking to you and i love that. I would talk to him on the views of Holden's life and what he thought of it and the people he met and how it related to his life, i would also ask him if he was alive now or if he new how the technology would be today if he would let "Catcher" become a movie. I think J.D. is a great writer and really creative so talking to him would be amazing.

Holden's Internal Conflict

-What two health issues does Holden pretend he has in Chapter 20?

-Why do you believe that our main character behaves this way?

He says that he got shot which wasnt true. He also said he pneumonia.

He seems to love attention weather it is good or bad he is always drawing attention to himself.
