    • Completed reading through chapter 16 in Catcher in the Rye.

Creative Writing
  • Work on your short story--it's due tomorrow!
  • Check out this site, and consider participating in National Novel Writer's Month.
  • For Monday, you're writing a response to the following question: Does Smooth Talk do an effective job of translating the story of "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" to film? You can essentially argue, "Yes, because...," "No, because...," "Yes, except...," or "No, but..." (or some other variation). Take a stand, focusing on comparing the two stories.
