B Block will make up the one that we missed this past Friday on this coming Friday (this is changed from what I said in class!) Due for Monday It's time to revisit our "Names and Labels" draft we completed during our Romeo and Juliet unit! In our initial draft, I asked you to compose a vignette that explored the effect that names or labels have on your life and then to reflect upon the story you depicted. In Chapters 21 and 22 of Catcher in the Rye Holden has a heart-to-heart with Phoebe and is able to communicate his desires and his situation to someone who truly understands. For the final part of your Name/Label prompt, write a letter to a family member of your choice or someone who truly understands describing how you feel about the names or labels you've received in your life and how they've impacted your life. While the length, tone, and the structure of your letter is up to you, and I ask that you consider how Salinger utilizes allusions to craft meaning into our text and make a reference to another work of art in your letter to help express your sentiments. Please print out your final piece and bring it to class for submission. Due Monday, May 16th:
