The Catcher In The Rye Project

Hey blog,It is night and I am not being able to sleep, the air is heavy, like the mattress. it is 22:30 and i not able to sleep, this is stupid how i am going to be able to go to school if i dont sleep. THE BOOK PROJECT: OMG I HAVE A PRESENTATION what i am going to do, or say. WHAT WAS THAT SOUND oh it was the clock this is dumb i am tired what hour is it? oh yeah i just checked THE SCREEN IS TOO BRIGHT what was the presentation about? oh yeah The Catcher In The Rye luck i read it all, i'm hungry what i am going to eat for breakfast? wait the project i have to do it the due date was for tomorrow morning if i just talk well What else im am supposed to do? it is cold and i don't want to move from my bed, hello teacher and friends today i'm going to present the catcher in the rye… Yeah that is it. I am ready to present bye blog im going to sleep.

Hey blog, I am in tears right now, I just finished the book. This was so random but at the same time so pretty. The topic I want to discuss today is the theme of the book, and how it is really pretty. Which is a critique to society about how they expose children to a cruel reality with no filter nor preparations. As we see Holden and his struggle of growing up and his fear of change. We end up with Holden coming back then having a truthful conversation with his sister deciding to take help. Showing Holden finally having a desire for a hopeful future without running away. Having people by his side mainly Phoebe. Something new that in the whole book we did not see before, Holden being actually constructive to himself and not harming himself mentally or physically as he experienced growing up in this “atrocious world” having vulnerability at the tiniest things as ducks having a family. Having a feeling of wanting protection for the baby ducklings. Throughout the story we see Holden in a negative light until the end where we see a noble character willing to help himself and start all over again by having professional help.  Having the desire to help other children is an imaginary profession. This novel showed me something that I never thought before on how unprepared young people truly are to face the world and us as a society are used to young people learning by messing up or causing a disaster when in reality that should never be the case. 

Thanks for being my therapy session about the book i truly appreciate it, take care

P.D: this is how i imagine a catcher in the rye

Whats up blog?

I wanted to write to you to talk about your book “The Catcher In The Rye” about its symbols, but first I wanted to congratulate the author on the success the book has reached. It is really loved by a lot of people. FIrst i wanted to talk about the visual elements in the book. I love how they are presented throughout the story. First, we have the red hunting hat which shows the alienation of Holden to the world he lives in. It shows how he is different from society and reflects his individuality as he only uses it when he is out of his comfort zone or when he is with strangers or people he does not know. I like these symbols as it gives a little foreshadowing what will happen if he wears it, normally a disaster. Another symbol I could catch on was the Museum as it shows Holden perfect imaginative reality, the one he cannot have as he does not like change and the museum stays the same all the time. This shows a little more of Holden's mental state and how he cannot bear change because of all he has lost with it, mainly his dear dead brother. The last symbol  I saw was the main one, the ducks. As Holden with it wants to become this imaginary profession “a catcher in the rye” protect children innocence at all costs, this way they can be saved from the trauma his had, this shows a more human Holden, someone we not see  as in the story he narrates in a  more comedic-immature way showing as feelings that someone is being untrue as a silly word as phony. This shows that Holden is aware of how mentally unstable Holden is, and how he shows no hope for a more prosperous future for himself, and how he only wants love and company being alone and depressed, something that he imagines impossible for himself, showing how he is at his lowest point talking to phoebe. His beloved sister. Well i guess that is it bye-bye!

Dear Holden,

I wanted to write to you to talk about your current situation. I am happy that you are in a mental hospital so you can start to have better coping mechanisms than drinking or smoking and even better not  always be alone. I think it is good for you to be in the facility as it is a chance to get better and start to see the world in a more positive way. Now getting actual help and start talking to people instead of paying prostitutes to talk with. I'm sorry for you but I cannot help but to cackle at the thought of it. Anyways, I was writing this letter so I could tell you to keep going even though it is hard as at the end of the storm there is always a rainbow, you can change your life for the better and that life is struggling but also is getting back up and continuing so.. yeah. Also facilities do work but you need to put your effort to change, they cannot do it alone without help of the person needing help.  I know you may have a lot of doubts as to how I can fix myself? Im broken? Will I be “cured”? The answer is no, but it gets better. Mental illnesses are not curable but they can get better, you can learn to control those intrusive thoughts and stabilize yourself with a lot of effort, everything can get better. AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE, have your friends over, socialize. Having a friend by your side is very positive for you, as you can also feel that you have people that have your back so you are not alone, which is the feeling you always had. I think that is all i have to say,

I will get out of your hair

The catcher in the rye book written by J.D Salinger. Is one of the most original novels ever written in history, with a lot of literary devices such as stream of consciousness, symbolisms and unreliable narration. As the story tells Holden, a young man who is in a mental hospital, narrates how he started everything, getting expelled from school, at 16 after his problems with Standlaldler. Being depressed because of his brother's recent death he uncovers a new experience in New York, where he meets new people; getting beaten up (Maurice), tries dating (Sally Hayes), and encounters old friends (phoebe, Lilian Simons, and Carl Luce). In my opinion this book has a great point the author tries to make, but I feel that with the story it did not make the point it was  trying to make. As the characters in the story are really forgettable and plain. Holden is much more complex in an unnecessary way, so much extra content that we forget the true message.  But it has good things too, as good narration, expressing Holden emotions and creating a manipulative narrative that Holden shows. Making it obvious he is an  unreliable narrator moved by emotions in not a clear mental state.  

well blog, see you later gotta drink my coffee!

What up blog? I will chit chat about the book “The Catcher In The Rye” by J.D Salinger. The book is one of the most motherf*cking weird sh*t i have ever seen, we can see Holden's view of his sh*t life where a lot of sad depressing and lonely sh*t he's been through, passing the story through a lot of themes that i can't get to put my finger on. Basically Holden being a little b*tch and an assh*le through the whole story.

Today my sister had one of the most outrageous outbursts that I have seen in my entire life. I was actually talking in a calm voice, I was being reasonable. When she out of nowhere decided that she was going to punch me. She was violent against me. I only made a couple of suggestions and jokes she took too personal. Then i cleaned my room throwing to the trash the scissor with the cutted hair.
