Poetry+AP01

Mark Twain's //The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn// and J.D. Salinger's //The Catcher in the Rye// are both novels detailing teenagers' journeys of self-discovery. As part of our discussion on the two novels, I want you to read the following nine poems -- all of which deal in some way with topics/themes found in the novels. Choose **three** of the poems that you would like to discuss; then post a comment about **each** poem and the novel you feel it relates to most closely.

 You may consider any of the following ideas when making your posts:
 * connection of themes
 * connection between characters
 * use of literary devices -- irony, symbolism, point of view, etc.
 * connections to personal journeys of self-discovery
 * connections between societal expectations and the individual

 If someone else has covered your idea, you must either find another example of bring something new to the discussion for it to count. You may not simply reply, "Good point!" Your ideas will be scored for accuracy, completeness and insight.

 So to reiterate, you will be making **three entries** total. **Each entry must be on a separate poem.**

 This will count as **two formative grades**.

 This is **due** Monday, **Sept. 29** by 11:59 p.m.

If you have any questions/concerns, please make arrangements to meet with me or e-mail me at jeannie_fox@charleston.k12.sc.us or askmrsfox@gmail.com. If you e-mail me and do not receive a reply, please check with me to confirm that I have received your e-mail.

** Good luck!! **
