For those of you who did not get a chance to write down the Synthesis Essay topic before you left:
"Holden Caulfield from Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Christopher McCandless from Into the Wild both go on journeys looking for an escape. In a synthesis essay, explain their personal philosophies/ outlooks on life."
This will be an in-class writing assignment during the week after Spring
Break. I wanted you to have it ahead of time so that you know what to
expect- you can write down notes, create an outline, memorize a
finalized copy of your paper- but you will be doing
the writing of the essay IN CLASS.
Also, Sociograms are due the Wednesday after Spring Break (the 25th). Keep working on it during your reading of the novel.
Have a good Spring Break!
