Blog 10: 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.

After you post, visit a student's blog and read his/ her thoughts on the novel. Leave a comment if you feel you have something to say about the post.

I would want to know how he got inspired to write this story. The story has a distinct style of writing. I would want Sallinger to describe who he based Holden on. I would also want to know why he decided to write with a stream of consciousness. It is very interesting reading a book, where you perceive someone is talking to you.
