We have studied Holden Caulfield’s character throughout our reading of The Catcher in the Rye. Now is your chance to make a statement about his character & psychological health in an essay. We will ask ourselves: Does Holden have a problem? Or is he simply a normal teenager?
You will need to compare Holden’s behavior and character to our earlier definition of a teenager and the psychological disorders presented. Which description seems most like Holden to you?
You must hand in the following elements as a complete project by Friday, June 12, 2009. That is the deadline. The due date. The last day of the semester. You may not hand the project in later.
Annotated readings about psychological disorders.
Doctors notes for Holden’s symptoms and evidence.
An outline of three paragraphs correlating symptoms and evidence (3 paragraphs).
A first draft of the diagnosis essay.
Thesis Development sheet.
Final draft of the diagnosis essay.
