Today we are going to imagine how other characters in the story think and feel.
In Google Docs, please do the following:
1. Think of a time that you wanted to do something but couldn’t or didn’t. Describe the situation and how you felt.
2. Holden takes a cab to the club Ernie's in Chapter 12. He has many experiences there where he doesn't do or say what he is thinking and feeling. Pick one of the characters or objects below, and write what Holden wanted to do or say to this person, but didn’t. Describe the situation, how he felt, and why he didn't do what he wanted to do.
- Horowitz’ the cab driver (81-83)
- Ernie the piano player’s (83-84)
- The funny looking guy or girl (85)
- Lillian Simmons (86-87)
- The navy guy, Commander Blop (86-87)
3. Now pick one person from the list above, and write from his/her point of view. Describe what he/she thinks/feels about Holden or about his/her life. You will have to make an inference about this, because we only read from Holden's point of view.
4. When you are finished, post your answer to our blog.
5. Then read two other posts and write what you liked and what you learned from them.
