Some Lit Techs. And Terms Bildungsroman - coming of age story Colloquialism - informal word or phrase, more for conversation than written work Slang - very informal word or phrase Flashback - scene in a work that is set in an earlier time than the main story Dialogue - conversation between characters

More Lit Techs. And Terms Symbol - a material object that represents an abstract idea –Colors –Animals –Weather –Clothing Which of these (and more) can you find in Catcher?

Mark David Chapman Then this morning I went to the bookstore and bought The Catcher in the Rye. I'm sure the large part of me is Holden Caulfield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil.

Mark David Chapman I went to the building. It's called the Dakota. I stayed there until he came out and asked him to sign my album. At that point my big part won and I wanted to go back to my hotel, but I couldn't. I waited until he came back. He came in a car. Yoko walked past first and I said hello, I didn't want to hurt her.

Mark David Chapman Then John came and looked at me and pointed [to] me. I took the gun from my coat pocket and fired at him. I can't believe I could do that. I just stood there clutching the book. I didn't want to run away. I don't know what happened to the gun. I remember Jose kicking it away. Jose was crying and telling me to please leave. I felt so sorry for Jose. Then the police came and told me to put my hands on the wall and cuffed me.

Mark David Chapman John Lennon was quoted as saying, “We’re more popular than Jesus Christ now.” Chapman was angered by this and the fact that Lennon was preaching love and peace but had millions of dollars and was a celebrity Chapman read Catcher and felt that he WAS Holden Caulfield (he wanted to legally change his name to prove it)

Mark David Chapman Chapman became obsessed with killing John Lennon, and he finally did so outside Lennon’s hotel on December 8, 1980 After he shot Lennon, he waited for the police by pacing back and forth on the sidewalk, trying to read The Catcher in the Rye

Mark David Chapman When looking back on meeting John Lennon’s son, Chapman said, ‘"He was the cutest little boy I ever saw. It didn't enter my mind that I was going to kill this poor young boy's father and he won't have a father for the rest of his life. I mean, I love children. I'm the Catcher in the Rye."
