WARM UPIn groups of four: take turns reading your rants aloud to your group.
After someone has read, each person in the group gives them one piece of positive feedback such as…
I really liked the point you made about___You did a good job persuading me that___I like the line where you said___
When your group is finished, select one person’s rant to share with the class.
Slight Rebellion Off Madison
What you will do:
• compare first and third person narrative voices
• consider how the author’s use of tone affects the story
• craft a well structured paragraph on how Holden’s narrative voice affects the tone of the story.
Slight Rebellion Off Madison
• In 1945, Salinger had a short story published in The New Yorker involving Holden Caulfield. This story, titled “Slight Rebellion Off Madison,” would eventually be developed into The Catcher in the Rye published in 1951.
• Read the short story, paying particular attention to the mood of the piece.
• Highlight aspects of the story that stand out as being notably different from The Catcher in the Rye.
• Once finished, read pages 150 (beginning with “But when I got inside this phone booth”) through 153 (ending with “But I didn’t feel like getting on a damn bus”).
Comparing Tone
• In groups of 3 or 4 Create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the two stories.
• Focus on similarities in plot, character and setting, and differences in mood or tone.
Tone Analysis Paragraph
• Now write a well-crafted (8-10 sentence minimum) paragraph on how Salinger’s decision to use Holden as a narrator changes the tone of this portion of the story.
• Before doing so, let’s quickly review the parts of a paragraph and the TISAS formula.

The Topic Sentence

• The topic sentence should explain two things:1. Name the specific topic of the paragraph 2. Identify a particular feeling or feature about the topic.
*** Note that the topic sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph but it can be located near the end.
The Body

• Each sentence should add new details about the topic.
• Use specific details=Quotes from the novel. • Organize your sentences in the best possible
order.
The closing sentence
• Comes after all the body details have been presented.
• It should remind the reader of the topic, summarize the paragraph, or link the paragraph to the next paragraph.
