A really interesting take on One Day. The Hemingway line of thought is intriguing; in what way do you suggest Dex and Em are of a lost generation?

Gigi,

Thanks for the comment! I'm so glad you found me. You have answered one of the questions that I am sure our students are going to ask every year. "Why do we have to read this stuff?" :) I just figured out how to offer email subscriptions. If you are interested, go to this link and sign up. http://feedburner.google.com/f... :)

What a lovely blog! As a hopeful, and hopefully soon employed, language arts teacher, I'd love to keep up with it. Perhaps we could exchange links? Every generation seems as if they are lost and the world is going to hell in a hand basket. That's why literature and history are important to us; it tells us we are human, want the same things regardless of the era, and experience angst each generation.

I was actually IN boarding school when I read it!

When I got home, I went to the museum and bounced some marbles as a tribute to Holden.

One of the greats!
