Purpose: In a creative format, demonstrate your understanding of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye by focusing on the characterization of Holden Caulfield and/or a major theme of the novel. Your song selection, placement, and analysis should showcase your knowledge of the text as well as your ability to write analytically.
Task: This assignment has 5 parts
1. Select a song that either: significantly connects with a concept, character, theme, or a motif in the novel.
2. Decide where to “place” the song in the novel. Include the page number and a 2-3 sentence explanation that addresses how your song captures the “moment.” Please include the title of your song and the artist at the beginning of your post.
3. Write an analytical Blog Post: Your post should take the form of an analytical paragraph. This paragraph should include a thesis statement that demonstrates what the song reveals about Holden’s state of mind and/or a major theme of the work. You then should develop and support your position by making references to both texts (concrete details/quotations from the song and the novel). (8-10 sentences in length)
4.Attach a YouTube video link of your song.
5.Listen to the song selection of TWO of your classmates and then respond to his/her post. In this response, you need to comment specifically on the song selection as well as their analysis. Your comment should be 4-6 sentences in length and should include references to both the song and novel.
