This one may be the easiest yet. :) I'd like to hear about the text you have chosen for your project. I'm actually asking you for summary here -- imagine that! What drew you initially? Did anything we read this semester spark an interest or lead you to your choice? Do you think you would have chosen this text at the beginning of the class rather than the beginning?


For my research paper, I chose The Catcher in the Rye. I chose this because everyone can relate to Holden Caulfield. But the question is...why? What drew me initially is Holden, himself. The whole story is character driven, and while there is some plot, the plot is the character, and his descent into a breakdown. This is why I want to research him.
