what i feel about Holden now

After reading further into the Catcher in the Rye, I now feel empathy for Holden because I can relate to what he is saying. When he found out that one of his old time friends was going to be at his school, he got really excited because he was all alone on the other side of the country in New York, and wanted to see a familiar face that he could talk to. When he was in his old teachers house, I could relate to how he didn't want to be there and how he reacted to smelling the vick's cold drops and seeing the old man
s body. When he was on the subway and was navigating the whole fencing team to New York and he forgot the fencing equipment on the subway, I could relate to that. Holden had to take the whole fencing team to New York, which by itself is a lot of stress. He had the whole team relying on him to get them there, and he had to watch after the gear as well. That's a lot of responsibility for one person, especially a kid to handle.

what my feelings about Holden are

Towards the beginning of the book, I passed judgment about Holden Caulfield because I didn't know much about him. He seemed a lot like me, with all of his problems. I didn't feel empathy towards him because he was flunking out of a bunch of his classes, and his schools even though he was smart. I didn't feel sympathy towards him because even though he had kind of crappy parents and not a lot of friends, he didn't end up as a bad kid. The only bad thing that he did do was smoke cigarettes, which wasn't even the result of his parents being crappy, but more because he just wanted to. A possible reason for Holden not working at all in school is because his brother had done so well with his life that his parents were pressuring Holden a lot to be like him. Then he just gave up to eliminate any competition that he would have had with D.B. in school so that his parents knew that he wouldn't be like D.B.

Question #3

A lot of stories in the world are written in either 1st person view or 3rd person view. The reason that most authors write stories in first-person view is because in first-person view allows you to go deep inside of a character's personality and find out what they are feeling. The reason that they write a story in 3rd person view is that they have a really big story going on with a lot of sub plots that one character couldn't handle. In 3rd person view, you can get an overview of what is happening all over the story instead of just what is happening with one character. The bad things about 3rd person view are that if you are reading a story and something bad happens to a character, you can't really tell what that person is feeling or thinking. With first-person view you can see what the person is thinking. 1st person view makes you feel that you are there with the main character, that you see what they see, and that you feel what they feel (emotionally). You could never do that in 3rd person view. There are however a few problems with the 1st person view. In some cases, you can only tell what the main character is thinking and nobody else. This is bad in the case that some big part of the story happens to someone other than the main character.

my fave color

the color that best describes me is blue because it is nice and cool. it always cools you down when you are getting hot, too. sometimes i get ripples when somebody messes with me, but mostly i am smooth. blue mostly represents peace, and i am peaceful most of the time. i am laid back, not having a lot of cares in the world. some ways that blue doesnt represent me is that i like to listen to rap music to calm me down, and i like the heat, not the cold.
