Book Review A strong book review critically evaluates the makings of the novel. As the writer, it is not your job to summarize the book. That is what can be found on the back cover if any of your readers decides to check the book out. Instead you will discuss your opinion of the book, in writing, using information from the book as support.

A cut-up poem is just what it sounds like, a poem. A cut-up poem is unique in that rather than pulling words out of your brain, you pull the words from another piece of writing; thus, the "cut-up" portion of the title. These borrowed words are strung together to form new meanings, new ideas or feelings that you want to portray to your readers. Create a poem based on William Burroughs' cut-up technique. Borrow words from newspapers/magazines/Catcher in the Rye by blacking out text or cutting out words and phrases. Your poem needs to represent Holden Caulfield in some way. How you represent him is up to you as the writer. Here are a few options from which to choose:
Constructing the POEM
Constructing the VISUAL Since we studied symbolism in-depth with Catcher in the Rye, your poem must also include symbols that represent your understanding of Holden or the novel. The images that complete your poem must be created with intent and purpose. Remember you are going to be required to provide an analysis of both your poem and image at the conclusion of the creation phase. Peel the Fruit

Artist Statement An artist statement is the written description of your project. The statement describes what was made, how it was made and why it was made in a formal written composition in order for the audience to understand your point of view about the studied topic. Format: The artist statement should be a typed page in length. It is written using Arial, 11-point font, and single spaced. Since it is single spaced, paragraphs should not be indented, but instead have an extra space between each paragraph (consider my past two paragraphs in this syllabus!). While it is acceptable to use first-person “I” in an artist statement, do so sparingly. Remember the artist statement is about getting your audience to consider their own understanding of your work. This might be hard to do if you keep telling them through your writing what you think. Questions:
