Finn vs. Caulfieled: CAGEMATCH!!
Many people believe that Holden Caulfield and Huck Finn are similar. Both of these novels are about growing up and finding one’s place in the world. Who is more successful in these endeavors?
Do you know a Holden?
Holden is an interesting, multifaceted character. Does he remind you of anyone you know? How are they similar? How are they different? OR Do you behave like he does at times? In what ways are you similar? In what ways are you different?
Is He Holden Your Affection?
Almost everyone liked Holden at the beginning of the novel. Now, his behavior has changed and it may have affected your feelings towards him. At this point in the book, do you like Holden Caulfield? Why or why not?
Born To Trouble

Fears of the Anthology
We begin the Anthology amid fears and concerns. Discuss your innitial thoughts as our journey begins.
