Non fiction Non Narrative Salinger
Reading this article really helped me connect to Salinger and understand what this book is about. In a sense, it really is like a diary of his life as a teen. He goes through a lot of what Holden does and now I can see where he is coming from. They both had a rough time in school and they both flunked out and ran away and such. The big thing though was that they were both good writers. I think that it is a really good idea how Salinger writes. It almost allows you to enter into Salinger's world through the eyes of someone else:)

I also saw how Salinger was writing Holden sorta as himself. Good connection.
ReplyDeleteI agree that its probably like a diary. That's gotta make you wonder how messed up Salinger was :)
ReplyDeleteHolden didn't become a hermit though. Although in retrospect he may as well have been, he closed himself off from everyone, just as Salinger did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I think that a lot of what happened in the novel was what happened to Salinger as a teenager.
ReplyDeletethats kinda weird that we are like reading salingers life story as we think its holdens!
ReplyDeletei agree with you missy. and seth, in a way he did become a hermit. but missy i agree with you and that's basically what my post was about:)good job=)
ReplyDeletei agree with you missy, because i do think that Holden was based off of J.D as a kid/teenager:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with u missy and i never really caught the whole both of them writing good part.. nice. i put almost exactly what u did except without the writing good.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you missy. Holden and Salinger sound like practically the same person.
ReplyDeletemissy, true fact. its like a diary of his life but from someone elses eyes totally a true fact. not a False fact..that would be crazy. bahhabahhahaha. true fact missy. jaykay. ....i had a SAD day everyones around sing a sad song just to turn it around bahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI think what you said about the article was good. I agree it was like seeing Salinger through someone else's eyes. Good job misssy !
ReplyDeleteMIssy I can't agree more. Holden is J.D. as a teenager. They are completely alike in every aspect. I like his writing style as well because it is through the eyes of someone else as you said
