I picked these images because they all related to books that I teach every year. The first two photos are of the Salem Witch Memorial in Salem, Mass. which relates to the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller. They do a huge Halloween event in Salem and I often talk to students about the tourism that now takes place in Salem. The third image relates to the book, Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Holden (the protagonist) mentions that he has a dream about being in a huge field of rye on top of a cliff. He imagines children running toward the cliff and him trying to prevent them from falling over the edge of the cliff. As you can see, this image is fantastic!
