Connector+F

Day 1

Connector/ Artistic Adventurer For this role, you have two options: (1) make connections to the reading, or (2) artistically interpret the reading. Option #1: Connector Name: __Book:__ _ __Assignment: page to page Literature Circle's Name:__ _ As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. This means connection the reading to: Think about a minimum of two connections today's reading reminded you of. List the connection and write a paragraph for each explaining how and why you made the connection. 1.) __My old school.__ When he was describing the campus, I just flashed back to a private school I once attended. It made me sort of nostalgic, thinking about the people and my experiences, so I ended up staring into space (instead of reading) for about a minute. And I've also been to five schools thus far (including EHS), so I can kind of relate to that. But I didn't dislike the schools or find the people there "phony". I can relate... but I can't. 2.) __Insight into human nature.__ I like the part near the beginning of the fourth chapter in which it's mentioned that people tend to believe everyone feels the same way about them as they themselves do. That is, we have a tendency to project our own ideas onto the outside world. (Did I say "tendency"?) So a conceited man naturally assumes other people view him in a similar, favorable light. Which can be really annoying.

Day 2 Connector/ Artistic Adventurer For this role, you have two options: (1) make connections to the reading, or (2) artistically interpret the reading. Option #1: Connector Name: __Book:__ _ __Assignment: page to page Literature Circle's Name:__ _ As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. This means connection the reading to: Think about a minimum of two connections today's reading reminded you of. List the connection and write a paragraph for each explaining how and why you made the connecti on. 1.)__Lying to people you don't know.__ When I was little, i would travel all over the east coast with my family. When I would meet people my age, I would tell them that my name was something entirely different and I was from England. The main character also does this in the story to avoid speaking of his life. 2.)__Wanting to physically hurt someone.__ When Stradlater came home from his date, he said that they spent the night in his coach's car. He was extremely rude and didn't care that he was being rude to the girl he took out. He was much more interested in himself and being smug. I have been in that kind of position before where someone is being totally and completely disrespectful and I have wanted nothing more than to slug them in the face. The only difference in this connection is that I never did it.

This means connection the reading to: Think about a minimum of two connections today's reading reminded you of. List the connection and write a paragraph for each explaining how and why you made the connecti on. 1.)__Description of phoebe:__ As Holden described his little sister as humorous and clever, it reminded me of my sister, Rosa. Although she is older than me, she contains a large sense of humor, causing laughter between conversations, and is very intelligent and clever when it comes to school and work. 2.)__Lonely:__ Holdens lonliness throughout chapter 12 reminded me of my own personal experience of moving to a new state and attending a new school.When i first moved to PA all that i thought about was how much i missed my friends from jersey, kind of how Holden thoought about his younger sister and Jane Gallagher. I believe i was able to relate to Holdens emotional experience.

1.) The first connection I can make to these chapters is the walking 41 blocks in NYC. About a month ago, me and my friend decided to go to NYC and stand in line really early to get cheap tickets to see a broadway show. We took the path train to get to the city and ended up a port authority with is somewhere in soho(i think!). What we didn't realize was that at 6:00 on a Sunday morning, the city-that-never-sleeps is still sleeping! So we decided to walk like 40 blocks to the ticket booth in times square, for something to do, and to see if anything was open. Well, after about 30 blocks I told my friend I'd had enough and he could either take the subway the rest of the way with me, or I'd meet him in the square! So I was dying after 30 blocks, I can imagnine how much worse 41 would be.

2.) The other thing I can realate to is when Holden remembers how is father gets very angry when he loses things. My parents get so mad if I lose something, even if it's really small or inconsequential. They will lecture me for a half and hour on it before I'm allowed to leave the room, and they bring it up in snide remarks all the time. This is a small connection because I found it difficult to relate to having a hooker in my room, or getting beat up.

Option #1: Connector Name: __Book:__ _ __Assignment: page to page Literature Circle's Name:__ _ As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. This means connection the reading to: Think about a minimum of two connections today's reading reminded you of. List the connection and write a paragraph for each explaining how and why you made the connecti on. 1.) __Phony people__ The conversations Holden overhears, Sally's attitude, the "old friend"... I can sympathize. I've actually never heard anyone talking except the actors when I've been to Broadway. There's a sort of buzz at the beginning and end of the show, but nothing distinct. (Probably because I just tune them out.) No, it's in everyday life that most of us have to deal with pompous folks trying to impress strangers they'll never see again. Pretentious gits. Drives me nuts. 2.) __T__

Day 6 Connector/ Artistic Adventurer For this role, you have two options: (1) make connections to the reading, or (2) artistically interpret the reading. Option #1: Connector Name:Emalyn Witter __Book:__ The Catcher in the Rye_ __Assignment: page to page Literature Circle's Name:__ _ As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. This means connection the reading to: Think about a minimum of two connections today's reading reminded you of. List the connection and write a paragraph for each explaining how and why you made the connecti on. 1.) __Pestering Someone:__ I am an extremely talkative person. I am usually talking or texting or hanging out with my friends. My biggest flaw in my personal traits is that I like to know everything about everyone else's business. When I know someone knows something I do not, I pester them to tell me what it is even if they begin to get annoyed. I rarely stop at that point and continue until either the person leaves or the person tells me what it is I want to know. This was a huge connection between Holden and I because Holden pesters and pesters Luce to tell him about what sex was like or some sex stories. I would not pester someone about something so personal, but if I want to know something badly enough, in the end I usually get my answer. =] 2.)__Facing a parent after you've done something wrong:__ In this connection, I actually relate to Phoebe. I am the child in my family that can balance schoolwork and free-time and gets decent to good grades. I have an older brother who is actually very like Holden in many ways. He went to a community college for less than 1 full term and then dropped out. He lied to my parents and told them he was doing well in school, but when they got his grades... I thought all hell was going to break loose. I know why Phoebe covers her head with a pillow and refuses to listen to Holden; She does not want to see her brother get in trouble. I love my brother so much, and to see him throw his life away has literally hurt me. I can't even stand when my brother gets yelled at for having a messy room. I know how Phoebe feels about having an older brother who is literally a screw up. It seriously sucks.
