The Lie

Today we read chapter 7 in which Holden decides to travel back to NYC early. He meets a woman on the train and fabricates a huge lie. Again we used this opportunity to get to know Holden's character better. What motivates him to lie? We recorded his lie versus the truth, then speculated why he told that particular lie. Our notes took form of a three column chart: Details of Holden's Lie, The Authentic Truth, Why did Holden lie about this?

Vocab: authentic (adj.)
The statues at the Wax Museum looked so authentic! But we all knew they weren’t real because they didn’t move or talk.
