Girls, Girls, Girls

Today we started reading chapters 9 & 10. We want get to know the other women in Holden's life. As we understand them, we will be inferring more about Holden's character. We made (yet again!) a three column chart to collect quotes and record our inferences. The three columns should be labeled as such:
  1. Woman in Holden's Life
  2. Quote about Her
  3. What she tells us about Holden's character
Journal entry also included a warm up about someone you were infatuated with.
o What was the person like?
o Why were you infatuated with him/her?
o What did you do about it?
o What did he/she do about it?
o What was the result?


Vocab: infatuation (n)
In 6th grade, I was consumed by my infatuation for John Taylor of Duran Duran. In my spare time, I could think of nothing else because he was so cute and the best bass player ever.

NEXT VOCAB QUIZ on Monday, March 30th! Starting with mutinous.
