And thanks to you guys. Without your reccomendations, I probably would not be here as happy as I am with my new knowledges. And of course, I bought a red hunting cap!!! So my dummies, be like Holden ( not in the sad way, in the caring and innocent )and see ya!!!

Dummies!!

This is my last Catcher in the rye post. I hate you jerks. You changed my life and now I am in love with J.D Salinger. For god's sake, what a book. It is a fact that this book is a masterpiece. Anyways, I reupload on the blog just to add something to the themes of the novel. I have been thinking about it the past few days and I reached my final conclusion. The main theme of the catcher in the rye is innocence. This for the following reasons, and I hope you understand, you phony dummies. In the whole book, we see Holden always remains as a good person and innocent at the same time, as an example the prostitutes, when he did not want to have sex with her. Additionally, we have the cap related stuff and his dream to become the catcher in the rye. He is so innocent that deep inside he wants to protect children from suffering the same that he did. So that, my dear students, is today's lesson. I am such a genius. Well, with this entry I close my Catcher in the rye phase. It has been wonderful. Love you guys.

My phony guys!

Its been a week of a lot of thinking and meditating after finishing the book, the title of it really moved me since it has a deep meaning related to the red hunting hat which believe it or not, ended up being the most important symbol of the story, just like in Batman, where his suit is almost all the meaningful things. This is related directly with his identity and his need to be his own version of someone who helps needy people in similar situations. It marked me severely, and I could not be prouder of myself of understanding the point.

So guys, that's it for today. I hope you like my stream of consciousness, and in case you did not, I really don't care.

Surprise dummies!!!

I finished the book. Earlier than I thought it would. I have many things to say. One of the things I would like to do ASAP, is my book review. So here it goes.

Holden, the narrator and protagonist, relates the account of his travels before Christmas from what appears to be a sanatorium. Holden is at Pencey Prep School when the story opens, making his way to Spencer, his history teacher's home , so he can say goodbye. He informs the reader that he was expelled as a result of failing the majority of his classes. Following his visit to Spencer, Holden runs into Ward Stradlater, his roommate, who asks him to write an essay for English class while he goes on a date with a longstanding Holden acquaintance. Holden writes about his younger brother Allie's baseball glove after they had agreed to this. Allie passed away from leukemia. Holden is informed by Stradlater upon his return that the essay. Holden becomes enraged when Stradlater refuses to reveal if he had sex with his date. Holden storms out, leaving Pencey in New York City a few days early for Christmas break. He is unable to return home after he gets to New York since his parents are still unaware that he has been expelled. He decides to stay at the Edmont Hotel instead, where he sees some sexually graphic events through the windows of other rooms. He then seeks out social connection at the hotel's nightclub, the Lavender Room, as a result of his loneliness. He visits another nightclub after speaking with a few women there, but leaves after spotting his older brother's ex-girlfriend. Once he arrives to the hotel, he asks a prostitute to attend to his room so he may speak to her. He gets punched in the stomach as a result of what happened. Holden contacts his ex-girlfriend Sally Hayes the following morning. After sharing the day together, Holden makes a rude comment, and she breaks down and pulls away. Later, Holden meets up with Carl Luce, a former classmate, at a bar, but Luce departs early after becoming irritated with Holden's crude remarks. Holden stays behind and consumes alcohol on his own. He lingers around Central Park after he departs until the cold forces him to go back to his family's apartment. Still hesitant to confront his parents, he sneaks in and discovers Phoebe, his sister who is 10 years old. When she learns that Holden has failed, she is angry and accuses him of being uninterested in anything. At this point, Holden tells his sister about his dream when he heard a little child singing the song "If a body catches a body comin' thro the rye," he was inspired to create "the catcher in the rye." According to Phoebe, the line is from a Robert Burns poem called "If a Body Meet a Body Comin Thro the Rye." Holden sneaks away as they hear their parents arriving from a night out. Holden makes contact with Mr. Antolini, his ex English teacher, who offers Holden to stay at his house. On Antolini's couch, Holden drops out and wakes up to see Antolini petting his forehead, which he perceives as a sexual drive. He leaves right away and spends the rest of the evening at Grand Central Station. When he wakes up, he goes to Phoebe's school and drops off a letter asking her to meet him at a museum at lunch, informing her of his plans to flee. She insists on coming with him and shows up there with a suitcase packed. He declines and offers to take her to the zoo instead. Outside, in the cold rain, he sees her ride the carousel. This indicates the ending of the flashback. Holden explains that he has "fallen poorly," but that he hopes to attend a different school next fall as the book comes to an end.

Woah. Heavy, isn’t it? Well, for you lazy boys that are so useless in life that you are unable to read a book by yourself and need me to summarize it, there you go. Now I ask you to get prepared for the next entry, because I decided to write it in a stream of consciousness. Just like my J.D. Cheers, mate!!!

Whats up!!!

Missed me? Here I am, once again. Again, I apologize for the absence these last days. But I'm sure you phonies, dummies and buttheads know the reason for it. I fell in love completely with J.D Salinger. This man’s writing techniques are wonderful. I hate to admit it, but grandpa's book really caught my attention. Today I am not willing to summarize anything, instead, I want to mention Holden’s red cap. I firmly believe that the red color of his hat establishes a relationship with Allie’s and Phoebe’s hair, and reminds him of them. That in some way, makes him feel less lonely and isolated, and lets him escape a bit of his sad reality. Also, I gotta say it is a pretty striking accessory, so in some way it also has to give him a self-identity that makes him different from everyone else. But, there is something very curious about it. Stop reading for a second and use your tiny little brain, full of spider webs and dust and try to think what I’m about to say. He does not wear his hat with his close ones. Although, I might know why. Perhaps, it is because he doesn’t feel the need to differentiate from his loved one and isn’t afraid to be transparent with them. Anyways, that's it for today. Stay alive for next updates!!

Good afternoon my little children!!!

To begin, I apologize for posting this late. I have to admit it, I got hooked on the old man book. In my defense, the book’s stream of consciousness style makes it so original that it is impossible for me to stick my nose out of the book. It is literally amazing. I am serious right now. I haven’t seen sunlight in days. I’m literally locked up in my room. Just me and the Catcher in the Rye. Now, what is really important. I believe that Holden is a good boy, despite the problems he’s had with Pencey Prep. And I think It is also really important to mention how his brother Allie’s death affected him. I also noticed something interesting; Holden is afraid of change. I realized this since he LOVES the Museum of Natural History only because of the fact it never changes. It seems like it is frozen. And for some reason, that fascinates our little Holden boy. And to close my second entry about this wonderful novel, I gotta say, I am starting to pay special attention to his red hunting hat. I will undoubtedly come up with some theme or interesting comment about it in the next few days. With this said, I’ll continue accelerating the wrinkling process of my body by reading the book. See ya.

Entry 1

Today, I woke up anxiously and quickly. The ones who follow me since the beginning, will know that today I will be starting to read “The Catcher in the Rye”. I never read these grandpa-like stories, but as you guys have been asking for it so much, here we go. As i havent started reading yet, and I do not want to bore you (which I never do by the way) I am just commenting on a few things to start with this section of the blog. I only know it is about a depressed kid that believes he is Batman and dreams of saving kids and bla bla bla. Just kidding, but now seriously; the title refers to Holden ( the protagonist ) wanting to save kids and more good stuff. Yes yes I know, I need to start reading it ASAP. I will be informing you guys!
