I would recommend this book to children and teenagers. I would show this to anyone who loves mystery adventure novels. I would tell them this book is about two children who secretly explore around their city and try to decode a message. Their city is running low on essentials such as food and electricity, and these children are the only chance to save The City of Ember. This was a great book and I would definitely give it a great
Alister McGrath, from the very beginning of this book, plainly states what the dangerous idea is all about. “The dangerous new idea, firmly embodied at the heart of the Protestant
The Way It Was: A Social Comparison on Donalda Reid's, "The Way It Is" and What It Was Really Like Back Then
While reading, I felt as if I was in the future, and actually living through the eyes of Charity. I personally can relate to some aspects of Charity. This writing was effective in the way that it kept my attention and very rarely got dull. When it was revealed that Charity’s father was her kidnapper, I felt the shock like it was my own situation. The strengths of this book was its ability to captivate its readers. Not only this, but this book can entertain people of all ages. The weaknesses of this book was that it could often get confusing. But for the most part, it was later explained and figured out. I found this book to be moving. It shows the reader that you can’t truly trust anyone, and that even the people closest to you can go to extreme lengths to get the things they want. I would recommend this book to people of all ages. It will keep you eyes glued to the pages and will make you feel sympathy for the characters at the same
Today my book started with a girl Madeline. She had as a rare disease, she can’t go outside but she likes this boy named Olly. Madeline has to be homeschooled because the can’t go outside the doctor named Carla watches her and teaches her stuff that normal people do at home. A man ask her if she wanted to help him with his shop and she help him with the shop. Madeline set up the fake manikins and the fake food so after she helps him with the store she goes home and stays with her mother, they do not talk about her father.
Recently, whenever anyone has asked me what I want to be when i am older, a wave of anxiety washes over me. The more occupations my mom throws out at me, the more and more phony they all seem. This is not due to the fact that there is nothing that interests me (and it is also not because recently I have been reading The Catcher in the Rye). I think that I cannot pinpoint my future with a crystal-clear image because there are so many things that interest me. I have been playing the piano for nearly 9 years. It seems like a rite that every Thursday I get in the car and travel to Grand Rapids for lessons--a rite that I have grown to love. Recently, my passion for piano has led me to begin giving lessons for the younger generation--hopefully
To tell you the truth, the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is one sonuvabitch that can change you goddamn life. The novel begins by Holden talking about his life and background. Holden tells us the reader about the events that took place within a few days. From leaving Pencey Prep to nearly sleeping with a hooker, Holden expresses himself unlike most people. The author, “J.D. Salinger is a highly regarded American author whose most famous work, The Catcher in the Rye, has sold over sixty-five million copies. In addition to being known for his work, Salinger was also known for his reclusive behaviour”. Salinger’s reclusive behaviour would have helped him write The Catcher in the Rye because it gave him more time to write and think about creation of The Catcher in the Rye. “When J.D. Salinger published The Catcher in the
Holden has just been assaulted in his own hotel room, due to Sunny the prostitute he hired. She was convinced that he owed her five dollars more than what he had paid her. Although Holden thought he did the right thing by not taking her service, and paid her anyway, it was not enough. Maurice the man that hired her for Holden, had told him and Sunny to different prices. This led to a big commotion that could have been prevented if Maurice was not telling his white lies. Maurice himself, took action and had physically came in contact with Holden. Holden was punched, and the man advanced on for a while, and the next thing Holden recalls is,“Then he smacked me. I didn’t even try to get out of the way or duck or anything” (Salinger 115).
In the book The Catcher in the Rye Holden feels that no one really understands him other than his younger sister Phoebe that’s too naive to really understand what he’s saying but she still listens. I too like most teenagers at times feel like no one really understands me, it’s almost like it’s a stage that people have to go through in their lives. While like Holden I have a couple people that I feel do understand me as well, but Holden doesn’t understand why people try so hard to understand him. If Holden Caulfield was a real person he would seem unapproachable and very closed off to the world with the way that acts towards his peers. I however have rare days when I act like this but unlike Holden I’m not stuck in a deep depression that can
“What I really felt like, though, was committing suicide. I felt like jumping out the window. I probably would've done it, too, if I'd been sure somebody'd cover me up as soon as I landed. I didn't want a bunch of stupid rubbernecks looking at me when I was all gory.” The Catcher in The Rye by J.D. Salinger is a great novel about a teen, Holden Caulfield, who thinks about a lot of things like suicide and running away from home, but there is this one girl, Jane Gallagher, Who makes him happy and he has a crush on her. The catcher in the rye is still relevant to today's teens because most teens are just like Holden.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger will always be considered a classic, but many debate on whether this book should be taught in high school English classes. It in fact should be taught because teenagers can find many aspects of the novel relatable, and can learn from the obvious mistakes of Holden Caulfield and apply the themes of this book to their own lives. Even though the text involves some bad habits, readers should look for the bigger pictures and appreciate the novel for the themes it gives.
The book The Catcher In The Rye is unnecessary to have at any school whatsoever, because is has a lot of inappropriate and unnecessary cursing and foul language. I think our school children should be shielded from bad language and negatively influential activities at such vital learning ages.
I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy sci-fi or dystopian novels. If you cherish longer books with many plot changes and cliffhangers you will undeniably enjoy this book. If you have read (and enjoyed) the Maze Runner series (also written by James Dashner) you will appreciate the similar aspects of this book. Plot similarities such as untrustworthy characters, all-powerful governments and futuristic societies are shared between the two series. I would 100% recommend reading the first two books of the series before reading this book. It really allows you to understand the plot and character on a much deeper level that you would otherwise. I would not recommend this book to someone who likes simpler plots with less characters. Changing points of view followed by an unclear antagonist can make the book difficult to follow for younger or less experienced readers. I would recommend this book for teens and young adults. Any reader younger than may find it difficult to follow the plot and understand the book. This was one of my favorite books my one of my all-time favorite authors and I hope that other readers would enjoy this book as much as I
Lynn Nottage is one of the most talented contemporary playwrights in the Untied States. Her focus indeed is on the African American lifestyle and through her work she manages to touch topics and share ideas that are usually quite controversial. In addition, her approach towards each of her plays is different, in the best expectable way. Nottage’s intention is to present the world of the play in the most unique and memorable. Crumbs from the Table of Joy and Mud, River, Stone are two plays written by Lyn Notagge that reveal her magnificent playwright skills. Both of the plays are unique in their own way and represents stories that are different, but also connected in a way.
