Adolescent Life- The Catcher in the Rye

We will focus on the collective teen experience—weighing and discussing societal and parental expectations, peer pressure,
limitations, and privileges. We will then move on to point-of-view. You will transition from personally analyzing Holden’s choices in the early chapters of the novel to critiquing his behavior in the mindset of a specific role— parent, doctor, teacher, or peer. Then you will compare your experiences and choices to that of Holden's.
