Passage Selection...

Discuss the language used by Salinger and question why it is different than the language used in other novels and in "polished" and "formal" writing.

Task:

After this, compare Salinger's passage and your own rewritten passage. Why does the language that Salinger chooses to use work in a book like "Catcher"?

My suggestions:

• Analyze the passage (this means ANNOTATE).
• Rewrite the passage in a more formal tone.
• Compare and contrast the similiarities and differences (a venn diagram would be handy).
