The Story of Zooey and Diction (5/15/15)


Salinger begins the second part of the novel titled Zooey with a third character's voice. The objective is to discover that the voice is of the older brother Buddy. The voice is used in the novel as a narrator.

Using the internet, define the types of narration including first, second, and third person. Be sure to define first person omniscient.

We are going to examine the opening pages of Zooey and determine what person you believe it is written in and why.

Next, define tone, diction, and voice.

Please answer the following questions for homework. This is due on Wednesday, 5/20/15.

Why does Salinger use Buddy at all? Thus far in the novel, what is the tone of each of the characters? What is Salinger's tone? What is Buddy's diction? How does his diction differ from Franny's? What voices have been used from the beginning of the novel? How have the voices changed?
