Ch 21-22
After seeing my baby sister today I was reminded of the innocence of children. However, the positive feeling also comes with the realization that the innocence can be taken away in a few mere minutes and it also carries a depressing memory that I have tried to hide away. Its been almost a year since James Castle tragically jumped out of the window of his dorm room after being bullied vigorously by his peers at my previous school. I feel so bad for him and his family, how his innocence was taking from him. I MEAN GODDAMMIT SOMEONE SHOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT! That's going to be my goal now I'm going to protect the innocence in kids, I'm going to be the catcher in the rye just like in the Robert Burn's poem "coming thro' the rye" which i always believed said "If a body catch a body comin through the rye." but according to my sister its meet not catchand believe it or not shes right i looked it up http://www.worldburnsclub.com/poems/translations/coming_through_the_rye.htm, it must of been that little kid that was singing it in the street that made me think it was catch. But even though shes right that's besides the point my goal will remain the same with my own interpretation of the poem.

First of all, your blog entry is completely blank until I highlight it to see it. Please fix that. Also, your link doesn't work. Fix that.
ReplyDeleteThen, take a look at the poem. When Holden actually reads the poem he realizes that he was wrong in his memory of the lines and what he thought was being said actually wasn't--- it was something completely different.
