The Catcher In The Rye

I really do like the way the book is written. Its like a conversation rather then just someone just telling you a story. It also makes you focus on the book because Holden jumps around so much from one topic to the next. As of right now I kind of don't like Holden. He is very o poor me and stubborn. Its very annoying but I cant stop reading the book no matter how much he annoys me. I'm already on chapter 12 but I think by the end of the book I will probably think of him differently.



p.s. Mr. Toland I never got to watch the first part of the Tuesdays With Morrie movie to do the blog....

My reaction to the interview of Morrie Shwarts and Ted Koppel is hard to explain. I was blown away by how this man is dealing with his life coming to an ending. Instead of crying and wanting to shutting out the world he is opening his heart. He knows that he is going to die and knows there is nothing he or anybody else can do. He seems happy and he is just looking at the silver lining in the clouds.

It made me think that if I knew that I was dying I know that I would most likely not act like Morrie Shwarts. I would be the one that would cry and do nothing. Just lay there and waste away waiting for death but after seeing this I think that I will try to act like Morrie when it comes to that point in life. To have people I love and want to be with around me. Why would I just want to waste what little time I have left. I would want to live life to the fullest.
