Assimilation And Tolerance In Catcher In The Rye

In the story, “Black Swan Green”, the main character, Jason, keeps complaining about “Hangman”. When Jason talks about Hagman, he is referring to his stammer. Jason’s stammer is a big hurdle in his life. One example of how Jason’s stammer is a big hurdle in his life is that he doesn’t feel that his life would be worth living if someone finds out about his stammer. On page 27 of “Black Swan Green”, it states, “I’m going to stammer worse than I’ve ever stammered in my life.”

In the incident when Jason appears with the police after the school shooting, the officer tells of the events, Jason’s apparent heroism, but the fact that Jason had killed another, despite the reasons behind it, he states “What I understand is that my son experienced murder in his heart, and chose not to rise above that impulse. I understand that my son is a murderer.”- Quote, Reg (Coupland, 2003, p.77)

Once he began manipulating Medea, this made him realize, that he can manipulate anyone he chooses to. After he had captured the Golden Fleece, he abandoned Medea and married the princess of Corinth hoping to stable his wealth and gain more power. He, in turn, manipulated the royal family only to have the consistent power he needed and desired. This had then begun to escalate. Jason is now displaying a pattern of his manipulation. As Jason begins to free himself from his “evil” ex-wife, Jason manipulates the past into a lie and much bigger problem from his side of the story. His dishonesty makes his side of the story more believable and by doing so, his manipulation skills had become more deceivable. Jason is in denial of the many things Medea had done for him and when he told his story, he used omission in order to deceive his listeners. Jason then says, “Dark threats cast out against the majesties/ of Corinth, count as veriest gain thy path of exile.” (27). He then blames Medea and having Creon ban her from Corinth.

Jason’s innate desire for self-fulfillment included leaving his wife and children to marry the princess so he could be ranked higher. After the father realized his doings and how it affected his life from there on out he tried to fix it. Time was no longer on his side medea already plotted the revenge plan. Depression and madness struck jason.

Though Jason knows his children will leave him, he still makes sure he provides them with a little assurance so they do not initially suffer after they leave him.

On the contrary, the Heissan returned a malevolent spirit while Jason never really died in the beginning. While the Heissan has one personality, not the same can be said about Jason: " Jason developed a second personality. While Jason was a scared, lonely little boy, this other self, which I will call The Mask for simplicity’s sake, was a more assertive, aggressive individual, fearless in the face of any hardship or opponent. When Jason put The Mask on, he wasn’t a little boy any more. He was someone strong, someone powerful, not only capable of surviving, but thriving in the wilderness surrounding Camp Crystal Lake." (Bloodsprayer – psychology behind Jason) When he goes into his innocent personality, Jason becomes a lot more clumsy and not as well formed as his other half. In conclusion, the Headless Horseman can be compared to many movie and book villains, mostly the killers of the pop

The Catcher in the Rye is a novel by J.D. Salinger. It is narrated by Holden Caulfield, a cynical teenager who recently got expelled from his fourth school. Though Holden is the narrator and main character of the story, the focus of Salinger’s tale is not on Caulfield, but of the world in which we live. The Catcher in the Rye is an insatiable account of the realities we face daily seen through the eyes of a bright young man whose visions of the world are painfully truthful, if not a bit jaded. Salinger’s book is a must-read because its relatable symbolism draws on the reader’s emotions and can easily keep the attention of anyone.

Nowadays, nonconformity, loneliness, and uncertainty are highly relevant due to how expressive in our society. Holden’s red hat, the telephone booth, and the ducks in the pond are beamingly significant symbols of the listed themes. Thus, the symbolism within these concepts are reverent today through the fact that they are day to day situations people face; how to showcase individuality, how to avoid loneliness, and how to be certain as one goes through life.

The world of fashion has become a way for people to express themselves and show what they value in life. Specific elements of fashion such as clothing, jewellery, and other accessories are worn for reasons such as an attractive look, but some elements can hold specific meaning. This can be a sports team or club, or the meaning can be much deeper. Such is the case in The Catcher in the Rye, a bildungsroman written by J. D. Salinger about a young, sixteen year old boy named Holden Caulfield and his journey throughout New York after he has been expelled from school. The story follows Holden as he struggles to find companionship whilst not being baited into a world of “phonies”. An important symbol - object that represents another to give it a

Thus the investigation of the murder will start right from him. The information of Jason being upset was shared by one of his mother’s co-worker. The other sources disagree to this as they stated that Jason is a sorted lad and he is always been a motivational example to the kids in the church and they love spending time with him. On the incident, the family paid a visit to the Forward Community Church and everything seemed just fine. All the folks who knew the family are shocked and upset about the incident and have been pleading the cops to investigate further as they couldn’t believe that Jason could do something like

Jason works well with others because his name is jason for darn sake they made a movie of that, (and a cool one too).

He fought with exceptional strength. He did not give up as the monsters came from all around him. When he was fighting the evil goddess Khione to protect his friends, he lost his spear and resorted to using a wooden plank, “Jason hefted his icy wooden plank—a stupid weapon to die fighting with—and the monsters charged” (Riordan 143). Jason stands against monsters, giants and wolves with only a wooden plank and is still ready to fight. He confronts this battle with absolute bravery and completes the most courageous task to protect his friends. Jason unlocked his inner demigod abilities and faced Porphyrion, the king of giants. “Half flying, half leaping, Jason landed on the giant’s scaly reptilian knee and climbed up the giant’s arm before Porphyrion even realized what had happened” (Riordan 147). Jason finds the courage in him to battle the king of the giants who can only be defeated with the help of a god. Jason fights despite the fact that he is not a god to protect those whom he loves and to free Hera and bring her

Jason is a Korean and he came to America when he was 13 which mean English is not his first language. He had to face many challenges during his high school years and college and those challenges helped him to be success in his career back then.

In discussions of The Ultimate Gift one controversial issue has been when Jason will receive his gift. On the one had, Red argues Jason must be patience and learn the value of hard work and he will be rewarded. On the other hand, Jason contends to know the gift he is working towards. In chapter three after Jason has a fit about Reds video, he flies out to Gus ranch to learn how to work. Jason overslept and Gus is already not happy with his attitude and work ethic so tears the fence post down to nonverbally show Jason he is disappointed. Jason understands Gus negative message so he starts putting in effort in and doing a good job. As Gus goes to get Jason he sees that the fence is put together well. It is apparent that Jason's attitude is positive

There are also parts in the play where one may begin to have an understanding of Jason’s motives. In Jason’s first argumentative speech to Medea, he claims that money, possessions and social status is of no importance to him. He declares that his choice to marry the royal Glauce is of good intention, not merely because he is bored with Medea’s bed. Later, when Medea begs Jason to forgive her for her foolishness, he shows kindness and understanding towards her. After all that Medea said about him and his new wife-to-be, Glauce, he states that he is still willing to provide Medea and their sons with anything they may need. Medea pleads for Jason to convince Creon to let their sons stay in Corinth and Jason agrees to try to convince both Creon and Glauce to allow the boys to stay. Jason is still compassionate, showing at least some loyalty to Medea and his family. At the very end of the play, after Medea has killed Glauce, Creon and their two sons, Jason admits that she has ‘destroyed’ him. Jason is completely shattered; everything has been ripped away from him. It’s also unfair when Medea refuses to let Jason bury and mourn the bodies of their sons. Some may feel it is impossible to feel no sympathy for him.
