Sophs #4 Journal--From a Different Point of View


NO NEED TO POST. HAND IN WITH YOUR JOURNAL ON JANUARY 10.

If you don't trust Holden as a reliable narrator, how about if you tell your version of the story?

YOU, of course, are NOT you.

You will now retell some part of the Holden chronicles from the point of view of any one of the OTHER characters in the book, like Mr. Spencer, Phoebe, Stradlater, Ackley, Jane Gallagher, Sally Hayes, Mr. Antolini, etc. If you don't want to retell any one incident, then just tell me what you think of this Holden character and explain why you feel the way you do.

In completing this assignment, try to imagine how your character would "talk" to the reader. In other words, don't make your character sound like Holden.

This is your last journal assignment of the quarter. Print out all four responses and turn in on Monday, January 10.

Any worthwhile and creative assignment of this type is going to be at least a FULL page long, double-spaced and typed.
