CITR Question Blog

Using your fertile minds, please help create a bank of reading questions for Catcher. Each student needs to create and post 2 questions, spanning chapters 21-26 of the novel. Be creative, and look to get a subtextual answer when we discuss these in class. 2 questions per student total; and if the question has been asked previous to your post, then it is NOT eligible. Thank you!
