Pre-reading Question #6
What do you expect from a novel entitled, The Catcher in the Rye? Looking at the pre-reading questions and the title, what can you predict about this novel?
I think this book is going to be about a child, possibly losing a sibling, living in the 1950's and how that kid lives his/her life. What expiriences the kid goes through because of his sibling's death.
I predict that the main character has lost a sibling, causing him and his parents to be depressed. Thereore I believe that his mother or father will become mentally ill, but can't afford the anti-depression medication or the hospitalization fees, to help him/her.
I predict this book will be about a young boy who's just lost his sibling, and has become mentally ill in the sense of violence and anger. He will be an interesting kid, a little different, and sees joy in little things. I believe he will not be comfortable putting trust and love in anyone because of the death of his sibling, and he will therefore not have many friends. I also think he will be a liar, and he will make stories up about his life.
I predict that the book will be about a boy who has just lost a close sibling and has become more mentally ill. We will learn about his experiences with the world and we will be able to watch how he reacts to things. We will be able to see him grow and come out from his cold childhood. The boy will show his emotions clearly and will try to "spice" up his story to make friends
I think The Catcher in the Rye will be about a boy who has lost his sibling, and has become out of control and mentally ill dealing with this death. Since we are watching Pleasantville in class which takes place in the 50's, I think that that's when the book takes place too. The boy will most likely not be into sharing his feelings with others, and have a hard time trusting people.
I predict that Catcher in the Rye will take place in the 50's and be about a boy who loses a sibling. Judging by the pre-reading questions I think that he will not cope well, and become unhappy with himself and with life.
I think that Catcher in the Rye will clearly take place in the 50's and it will be about a teenage boy who has to suffer the loss of a sibling. I think that he will have trouble coping with the situation and become bored with himself. Over the course of the story he will probably "find himself" again.
I predict that the story The Catcher In The Rye will be about a boy trying to overcome the loss of his sibling. From what I have learned during class, the setting will be taking place in the 1950's. Just by reading the pre-writing questions, I believe the boy will not be able to deal with the challenges his life well.
I predict that, Catcher in the Rye, will be about a young boy, dealing with the loss of a sibling. Based on the pre-reading questions and the title, I can predict that this novel will make you think a lot.
I predict that the book entitled, The Catcher in the Rye will be about a family who is doing well financially but when a family member was lost money got scarce. The parents will become mentally ill, to some extent, and might have to become hospitalized. The young boy(the main character) won't know how to deal with the loss of his sibling and the money loss so he decides to run away from it all.
After reading the questions I am predicting the book will be about a boy who suffers a significant loss and the result is he becomes mentally ill and is hospitalized.
From the pre-reading questions i can predict that the main character will lose a sibling, and have to deal with it throughout the story in harsh ways. Also, this story will take place in the 1950's.
I have a feeling that in this story there will be a conflict about being who you are or becoming who you are , or at least thats what I inferred from the pre reading questions. I know that it takes place in the 1950's, I also think that a character will lose a sibling. Another thing is I think that this book will end in a learning experience not only for the main character but also for the reader
I read this book already so all I'm gonna say is that I think this book is about a young man trying to cope with several problems in his life and sets off to NYC to try to figure out who he really is.
I believe the book will be about a boy our age who faces problems in his family with mental illness, in New York City. He struggles with problems himself running away from it all, to find out who he truly is
I predict that this book is going to be about a person, specifically a teenage boy, living in the 1950's who's lost someone very close to him. I think it might also be about his mental stability or instability at points in his life.
I think the book is going to be about a boy who looses a brother living in the 1950's causing him to become sad or mentally ill. The book may include how he deals with this and his reactions to what happens.
This story will be about a boy who loses his brother that was very close to him, and it takes place in the 1950's. The boy will have a rough time dealing with the death of his brother but will mature and learn to be strong and able.
I predict that Catcher in the Rye will be about Holden trying to find himself, for a lack of a better word, during a difficult time in his life. Maybe he lost a family member or just can't get his head together.
