I decided to enroll in since I wanted to further my education with the hope of getting a degree and a job after transferring. I want to try classes in different fields to see what I am good at, and I want to learn (add more). I hope to grow my writing skills a lot more from this class, and I want to become a better reader as well. I usually do not read any books outside of the assigned reading for school. Some of the in class books that I have read interest me like Catcher in the Rye. I sometimes will find certain school books enjoyable. I dislike having to write out long essays in class since I need time to collect my thoughts and synthesize them. I enjoy reading out of school if I find the school book interesting; if I don’t, I dislike it.
A symbol from The Catcher in the Rye is the red hunting hat. I chose the hat as symbol because it shows that Holden can be himself whenever he wants. When I say this, I am talking about when he lies to Mrs. Morrow about how he got hit with a snowball in chapter 8. The red hunting hat is important to the story because in chapter 13, Holden says that he doesn't care about how he looks. Whenever Holden goes somewhere, he does not change his clothes unless he is going somewhere really important or special. In chapter 10, Holden says, ” C’mon, I’ll dance with you one at a time. All right? How ’bout it ? C’mon!” I really felt like dancing. This shows that he does not care about what the other people think of him dancing with one of the older ladies.
At the beginning of Chapter 7, Cory has just witnessed the hospitalization of his dog Rebel, who was injured by a moving vehicle. Cory expressed profound sorrow as he watched his dog suffering. Afterwards, he prayed death away from Rebel by having immense faith. Dr. Lezander was incredulous when Rocket died and came back to life. After many weeks at the hospital, Rebel was finally released, but he was still in grave shape. Cory soon decided to allow Rebel to be put to sleep because he could no longer watch him suffer. A few days after, as Cory was riding his bike he was kidnapped by Donny Blaylock. Even though he was filled with fear, Cory stayed strong as Donny threatened to kill him. Donny Blaylock then kidnapped Lainie and shot Ms. Grace as she exited her home.

In the book, Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger, Holden Caufield, the main character is a negatively charged person, doesn't want himself or others around him to grow up, and suffers from depression because of his brothers death. This is obviously Holden's way of alienating the entire world and delaying the consequences of facing reality. Alienation is a big theme in Catcher In The Rye, and something that Holden depends on most often.

“I swear to God I’m crazy. I admit it.” It is very easy to automatically assume that Holden Caulfield is crazy. It’s even a logical assumption since Caulfield himself admits to being crazy twice throughout the course of the book. However, calling Holden Caulfield crazy is almost the same as calling the majority of the human race crazy also. Holden Caulfield is just an adolescent trying to prevent himself from turning into what he despises the most, a phony. Most of Caulfield’s actions and thoughts are the same as of many people, the difference being that Holden acts upon those thoughts and has them down in writing.

When I was in high school, I had an opportunity to do a short interview with one of the nurses at University of Vermont Medical Center. I set a date to visit the nurse's office, and she began to show me around the hospital, and patients as well. She explained that she loves patients, especially children, so she decided to be a nurse and loves her job. But one thing she does not like is that she has to spend a lot of time doing paperwork on the computer every time she sees a patient. When I had appointments before, I hated waiting for the doctor since they would take forever to come out. But during this interview, I saw how busy the doctors, nurses, and staffs are. Also, I got a chance to see what a regular checkup is for the patients. I learned
