Analyze The Catcher in the Rye
After you have read The Catcher in the Rye and completed the Reading Guide, answer the questions below to
analyze the text and develop a thesis statement for your honors project essay. As you answer the questions,
remember that a proper thesis statement must make an assertion about some element of a work of literature and
that the novel must contain textual evidence to support or prove or defend that assertion.
Total score: ____ of 50 points
(Score for Question 1: ___ of 10 points)
1. The first step in developing a thesis statement is to identify a topic or subject. Literary analysis essays can be
written about any number of elements, or aspects, in a literary work—its characters, its settings, its events, its
language, its images, its themes, or its symbols. The subject of your literary analysis essay should be
something that is prominent in the novel, not something that is minor or of little importance.
Example: A literary analysis essay on The Great Gatsby might focus on the message that F. Scott Fitzgerald
conveys about the adverse effects of wealth on the novel’s characters.
What topic or subject in The Catcher in the Rye would you like to write about in your literary analysis? Explain
why you think that this topic is appropriate for a literary analysis essay.

(Score for Question 2: ___ of 10 points)
2. Next consider the purpose of your essay. The purpose is what you intend to show or prove about the subject
you have chosen. An essay about one of the symbols in a novel might be written to identify and explain that
symbol’s meaning. An essay about a character in a novel might be written to explain how he or she changes
and grows over the course of a work.
Example: The purpose of an essay about the adverse effects of wealth on the characters in The Great Gatsby
might be to show that wealth is not a source of happiness or contentment for people, but actually harms those
who pursue and obtain it.
What do you plan to show or prove about your subject?

(Score for Question 3: ___ of 15 points)
3. Now consider the role that textual evidence will play in your essay. Textual evidence includes details,
quotations, and descriptions from the novel. A writer will incorporate or cite textual evidence to support the
assertion he or she makes about the essay’s subject in the thesis statement.
Example: If one were writing an essay about the adverse effects of wealth on the characters in The Great
Gatsby, one might cite details, quotations, and descriptions about the unhappy marriage of Tom and Daisy
Buchanan, the failure of Gatsby to win Daisy over, and the death of Gatsby to support one’s assertion.

Describe at least three specific pieces of textual evidence from The Catcher in the Rye that you will use to
support the assertion you will make about your subject. If you cannot find several pieces of textual evidence
that can be used to support your assertion, consider changing your subject or the assertion you plan to make.

(Score for Question 4: ___ of 15 points)
4. Finally, you are ready to compose a thesis statement for your literary essay. Your thesis statement should
focus on a specific subject, make a claim or an assertion about that subject, and briefly state a conclusion that
you have drawn about the subject based on textual evidence that you plan to include.
Example: A suitable thesis statement for a literary essay on The Great Gatsby might read as follows:
“Through his depictions of the failures and the death of Jay Gatsby and the discontent felt by the Buchanans
in The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald shows readers that wealth is no substitute for true happiness but is
instead a corrupting influence in the lives of these characters.”
Look at your answers to the first three questions above and then combine them into a single thesis statement.
