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.
