Assignment : Shadowing Holden
Shadowing Holden
1 1/2 to 2 pages long.
Begin or incorporate the lines that Holden uses.
Chose a simple incident that mimics an episode that Holden encounters. It might make you laugh, cry, cringe, irritated, but it made you think about what happened or it changed your view of life and people.
Laptops: Brainstorm 3 incidents:
Which 2 have more substance. You have revisited the incident often and talked about it with someone else. It is simple and will convert easily into a story with dialogue. It will be interesting for others to hear about it.
Now choose the one that has something to learn or a moral to the story. Something that you learned to do or not to do again.
Discuss which one will work, with your partner or seatmate and then start writing.
Is it fairly easy to illustrate in Comic Life?
Remember that you will be sharing this incident with the class so change the names and setting and make it clear and expressive with settings, dialogue,etc.
Email me the final idea that you have.
cshigemitsu@punahou.edu : Time of your class and your final idea in a short paragraph. 11:30,
Final soccer game of the season. . . .joking,name calling. . .a fight ends the season.
Save all work in Notetaker or the journal of your choice. I may ask for it in the future.
Where can you get images for your comic strip?

Holden's Madman Days
Holden’s Madman Days
When Were Holden's Madman Days?
Most Likely: December 1949
The madman days were right before the Christmas holidays, so it is December.
But what year?Holden was 16 during his madman days (p. 9). He turned 17 by the time he writes the story, which is sometime before the next September (p. 1, 9, 214). This means that he had a birthday as early as January (or even late December) and before September.Jan July Sept Dec-------------------------------------------|========birthday===========| We also know that when his brother Allie died, on 18 July 1946, Holden was 13 (p. 38). Therefore, Holden was 16 on 18 July 1949: exactly three years after Allie's death.
But is he still 16 when December 1949 rolls around, or has he turned 17 by then (sometime before September), making the story take place the previous December (1948)?Since there is twice as much time between January (late December) and July than there is between July and September, it's more likely his birthday is between January/late December and July.This means that Holden's madman days were most likely in December of 1949.(The Catcher in the Rye was published in 1951.)
