Question: How can I do A good Presentation on The Cather In The Rye!?
I actually have no problem with the oral part but the problem im having is making a visual aid! What should I do!? Make a poster!?!? And if so what would I put on it!? This book is really really random!. I was thinking I'd make a poster and just the word "Phony" would be written on it!. I have no other ideas!. I'm really uncreative so I'm really having a hard time with this, Plus its due tomorrow!. Does anyone have any good ideas!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

you could make a poster with a bunch of little illustrations (so if one or two isn't so good, there's still a ton of other stuff to look at hehe) of some of the symbols in the book!.!.!.!.

http://www!.shmoop!.com/literary-device/li!.!.!.

you can read that, illustrate them, and then "explain" each symbol and what you think it means for your presentation!. your teacher should like that, b/c it's "thoughtful" !.!.!.!. give "your own opinion" of what the symbols are!.!.!. but shmoop is really helpful, and should get you on the right track/actually-it-will-tell-you-what-eac!.!.!. (but your teacher doesn't have to know that)

goooooooooood luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p!.s!. or, you could make a poster that just says "**** YOU" on it, and say you made a poster of the graffiti that Holden crosses out!.!.!. just kidding, you'd get expelled or somethingWww@QuestionHome@Com

oh i have one!.!.!. if you want to make a poster maybe you could do it of the huge field where the title is first introduced!.!. u know when Holden is playing with the little kids and then he uses the title "catcher in the rye" to "catch" the kids if they were to fall off the cliff!.!.!. you could do that because it is significant :) im pretty creative so if i were u i'd make it like 3-D and maybe molde the actual cliff out of like model magic or something and make the field out of something that looks like rye!.!.!. you could also do the people using like poly-pockets for the kids or like lego or something :P or if ur not good with your hands you could make a short film with some random clips of a re-enacment of that scene!.!.!. or any other scene that seems significant to u!.!.!. i just chose that one because of the title relation :) good luck! hope i helped :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

Videos
Igby Goes Down
There are lots of YouTube videos with random people playing Holden and Phoebe and so forth!. (But we recommend not watching them!. Unless you need to convince yourself that Salinger was right about not allowing a movie to be made!.)

OK but take a look at this -- one person's argument that Igby Goes Down is channeling Catcher!.
