It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of the first semeseter. I must tell you that I am excited by your focus and attention in The Catcher in the Rye! Keep up the good work.
There are two things we must do this week. First, we must continue with the reading. Second, we will prepare for the exam, for the most part in class. There is some work, however, that you must do outside of class, primarily reviewing your notes on literary terms and the hero. Here is what the week will look like.

In class, we will discuss the exam - what it will look like and what we will do to prepare.
