Catcher in the Rye Stuff #2

Hiya.
  1. If I was in Holden's exact position, I would actually go the same place that he went--rummaging around NYC. But that is only if I had his fear of disappointing his family. I would personally go back home because I would probably be tired of boarding school (unless it was Hogwarts).
  2. Jane (just watched Forrest Gump so I keep wanting to call her Jenny) is sort of an enigma to Holden. He knows her so well, but there are things about her story that he has no idea about. They have sort of a complicated relationship, as Jane really likes Holden but isn't ready to tell him everything about her.
  3. People are always ruining things for you. It's true. But people also make things happy for you. It goes both ways. For example, you will only have fun playing a board game if there's someone there to play it with you. But if you have a really moody person playing with you, it's not fun. But if you have a fun person playing with you, you'll have a great time. It depends on the person. An example of when someone ruined something for me was today when my snow day was interrupted by the West Ottawa superintendant not cancelling school. Another one was when I came to school on the day of our show (it's in two one in a half hours now) and having the person playing Linus not knowing any single lines, songs, blocking, or choreography. And the other Linus (the part was double cast) who actually knew their part couldn't get to school because of the snow (ahem superintendant) so now we're about to go fail.
So yeah, as you can probably tell I'm in a cheery mood right now.

The Catcher in the Rye Blog Stuff #1

Hey guys.
Woo, it's been a while since I've been to the ol' blogging station. Had to dust off the dashboard a little when I got here haha.
So anyways, here's all my blogging stuff:
  1. To be unique is to be your own person. You don't try to copy anybody else and make yourself known to others. I personally think that it is a good thing to be unique as you naturally are, but still try to improve yourself. Some people strive too hard to be unique--they want to get the attention of others. Usually, this makes people either really strange or more mean, because they don't know how to get more attention by doing good things.
  2. To be an individual in the adult world meants that you need to let go of that strive for attention desperate enough that you settle for negative attention. There are some adults who never give that up--take a few celebrities, for example. Some of them go so far to get re-married and re-divorced just to see their face in the newspapers. You should not let that indivuality go, but when you grow up you need to start getting the attention and start giving it.
  3. I do not have a favorite person--it'd be waaaay to hard to pick just one. But I do have an idea of a good person, and I think that both that ideal of a person and Allie can be quite similar--kind, creative, intelligent, but I guess I would have to pick a favorite person and decide if they are similar to Allie's innocence. I think they would be, whomever I would pick. But then again, I can't pick....
Happy Penguins!
