Hungerford, Amy
Abstract
Presents a class of Professor Amy Hungerford that presents a lecture on J. D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey. The Professor uses the work of author to explain her argument about religion in the novel as an example to students of how to construct a sound literary critical paper using evidence from the text.
