Listening to other peoples ractions to the book.

Hearing what people have to say about the book in the lit circles it has been really interesting. I think that my view always changes after hearing what other people think. For instance I just thought that Holden was really immature at first and he was just naturally like that, but after talking to classmates they lead me to believe that Holden probably just wanted to keep his childhood. After reading further into the book it turns out that they were right. I think that the lit circles were really neat and a very good idea!

Confused

I guess the whole time I have been reading this book I have been really confused on a couple of things. I think that J.D. Salinger makes it so that you get a little bit confused and then he pulls you back on track by explaining it. But its really neat the way he does it because he doesn't just explain it right away you have to keep reading and eventually you will get it.

Holden and his Sitsta!

I think that Holden and Phoebe's relationship is very strong. They hold each other accountable for their actions and they get disappointed in each other because that's what siblings do. I think that they truly love each other and missed each other dearly. I wish I had this kind of relationship with my siblings. Our relationship is strong but not as strong as I would like.
