Welcome back. I hope you all had a chance to rest and eat a lot of yummy food. The next few weeks leading up to the end of the semester are going to be busy. The best way to deal with this is just accept that it's going to be tough and a lot of work, and just do what you have to do. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. So quit whining. Hehe.

Today you watched an episode of one of my favorite (cancelled) television shows from the 90s, Freaks and Geeks. The episode, called "Noshing and Moshing," reveals quite a few characters, themes and symbolism that are very similar to what we have been reading and discussing in Catcher in the Rye, especially the themes of alientation, coming of age and identity, rebellion, the struggle to fit in, and the struggle for independence in a conformist society. It's also really funny! Please view your assignment by clicking below. This was due at the end of class today. If you were absent, please see me as soon as possible to set up a time to view the episode and complete the writing assignment. For homework, please make sure you have read to Chapter 17 by tomorrow.
