The one that is Holden Caulfield

Today I am going to speak about the scene dealing with the two nuns that Holden meets at the breakfast bar. This is one of our only opportunities to see Holden not running from a conversation or lying to cover his feelings. When he is with the nuns he is a different person, but at the same time we are seeing the same old Holden. The character of Holden seems to have multiple personalities that he changes through as the day goes on much like clothing items, this is a glimpse of an "outfit" we have not yet seen on him. The nuns seem to bring out a side of him that is sincere, a side of him that actually cares. Another significant part of this specific scene is the echo backs the Ernest Morrow's mother on the train. The two scenes are very similar in that Holden is one on one. In the railcar Holden was very "phony" himself by lying to his classmates mother, but in both situations Holden was eating with is an interesting idea. The difference of course was that with the nuns it seemed like Holden had a certain connection with them on a personal level. The one that is Holden Caulfield is every changing did we just catch him "naked" of his "clothes" or is this purposeful "undressing" of Holden?

Lost like a lamp post.

Reading Catcher and the Rye has been an experience thus far and is turning out to be an adventure. We have meet our main character Holden Caufeild, and have gone through days in his life along with him. These days are not in the present infact they take place in the past as he expains at the beginning of the book, many of us have gotten annoyed with his use of the word "I" and his constant changing of moods and of location. What in the world is Holden Caufeild trying to tell us? We all have our theories and projectures about where he is and what he is doing, but are any of us right. The author J.D. Salinger is now dead so the questions fall on to the readers; so I ask YOU "What in the world is Holden Caufeild trying to tell us?"

And to you.

Today we discussed the idea of coming of age in our society today. Many people feel that we need to have a set age where one moves from childhood and teen years to adulthood, meaning that at a certain point everyone would be given the burden of certain responsibilities. This is a fair enough point in its own, except that you can not describe one group of people in one word, we are all different. This difference between people is what makes the world work, some people are more mature than others, and some people are more dependent on others than another "adult" would be. The answer to the question "At what age do you become an adult?" Is one that does not have one clear answer my opinion on the idea of adulthood is a notion that is unnecessary. If one feels that they can handle the responsibilities of the world without help does not mean they must fall into this word "adult". What I am really trying to say is that there is no word that can describe upward of 1 million people as a whole it is impossible; just because you are a certain age does not mean you are the same as the other people your age maturity or responsibility wise.

First an Introduction.

59 Minutes With James Hickey will be an experience for all to enjoy. Currently I am sitting infront of a computer screen in College Lit creating this post for all to enjoy. If left on the earth with one book of my choice I would choose Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is because if left alone to bring the back the earth from nothing but a book this would be my bible of choice to create a new society to replace the other one.

I am satisfied as a person if I have three things. One of which is a Backpack, the other a water bottle and a bicycle. I do enjoy doing many things in life such as but not limited to: Coloring, hiking, biking, playing soccer, skiing, reading, and lighting.
