'The Catcher in the Rye'- Practise Essay

While we are hearing oral presentations in class, you can work on essay practice with the following question.
Writing by hand, including planning, will be better practice for your test.
Remember to keep your novel as a clean copy, with no highlighting, notes, post it notes etc. You can only fold down the corner of the pages.

Please plan and write your response to the question below.
Thank you to Mrs Damen who gave me the ok to use the same question she has given to her class.

QUESTION:

"The ongoing success of J.D Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, can be attributed to the fact that it is written in a style that focuses upon the introspective view of its protagonist, Holden Caulfield. This, in turn, allows the reader to compare their life experiences to the central character."

Discuss.

In your response, you should consider the criteria sheet that we work with in all assessment pieces. This means being able to discuss positioning techniques, aesthetic features and the values, attitudes and idea that underpin the text within your response.

Your essay needs to be completed by hand and brought with you to class by Period 6, Wednesday 22th May.



Please be aware that you will be using your completed practice essay as part of an activity during Wednesday's lesson.

Please read the following blog which should be your guide for how to tackle your essay writing!!!
