Outside Reading, The Catcher in the Rye

 To be honest I chose to read this book because my dad had been talking about it a few nights before the project was introduced. I wanted to read about something he liked so I could try to relate to him more. So far The Catcher in the Rye has been really good. I love the sarcastic tone J.D. Sallinger has created, and how clearly Holden Caulfield's personality is made through his words.
 In seventh-grade we read The Outsiders as an in-class story. These two books relate because they're both about troubled teens who are prone to violence. They also have a similar tone on life, but The Outsiders was a little more depressing.
 Since I'm not too far into the novel yet, I haven't come to a very clear distinction of what my creative project will be. Although they will probably change, my thoughts right now are that I will make a poster or some visual representation of the book showing the theme.
