Discuss Holden Caulfield's relationship with his

contribute to our understanding of Holden as the main character in The
Catcher In The Rye?
2.
Discuss how Holden Caulfield changes during the
course of the novel. What does he
learn about himself? What does he
learn about the people with whom he comes in contact? Does he indeed "come of age" and grow to
understand himself because of the many people and experiences he encounters?
3.
Choose one of the following and explain its
symbolic significance in the novel.
A symbol is something, often an object, that stands for something
besides itself.

Late Work Policy (amended August 2015)
Students who are absent and provide an acceptable excuse may promptly
make up tests by appointment with the teacher, if a signed parent note is provided. Assignments not submitted by e-mail the
day students are absent are “late” and will be credited with FAIL
POINTS. Assigned work not
submitted to the turnitin.com web site is not scored and does not receive
credit if deadlines are not met.
Verified truancies and unexcused absences from class will prohibit
students from making up work and no credit will be given. If students miss class for sports or
field trips, assigned work is to be submitted the day it is due, either before
or after school either at the classroom or in the teacher’s mailbox in the main
office with permission from staff.
End of semester deadline is the first
day of stop week; no work will be accepted after that date. Summer
assignments are expected to be submitted on time, and if not submitted by the
posted due date on the teacher blog will be scored as “credit” only and will NOT earn a letter grade.
Late
work may negatively affect a student’s overall course mark and earned grade
point average; it is in the
student’s best interest to meet deadlines and submit work by posted due
dates.
