J.D. Salinger Article

- I can connect with this article in a few different ways. When they talk about Salingers favorite Greek Poet Sappho. Sappho is famous for his haikus he rights. I have written haikus before in many different classes. I have wrote them in english, and ILS honors and Biology Honors. We have done many different things with them my classes. I can also connect to the article becasue it talks about The Catcher in the Rye, and i am reading that book :) . It also talks about how J.D is on the cover of Time magazine and my dad has a subscription of that sent to our house.

- I can tie some things from this article to Holden because it almost seems like J.D Salinger is Holden. Salinger went to many of the same schools that Holden does. He always failed out and moved to a different school. Also he lives in New York just like Holden does. I think that in the book he makes Holden the same person he was as a child. Holden is J.D. Salinger.

- I can connect to Salinger as a writer now because he has told alot about his childhood so we know more about him. Since Salinger is Holden and makes Holden exactly like him, i know that now. By me knowing that i can assume that anything that happens in the book with Holden has probably happened to him in some way.
