Holden makes me want to punch someone. He’s beyond hypocritical. He lies to Mrs. Morrow by his name, some janitor at Pencey. He then, later, feels bad that he had lied to her after. He tells her that he loves the school, but truthfully was getting kicked out and hated it. HELLO, he left because he had gotten into a fight with his roommate. He say’s all these things about her son that makes her see her son in a totally different way. He despises her son; in all actuality he’s completely jealous. We all know deep in him he wants to laugh at what he himself is saying because he cannot stand the sight of her son. Why in the heck would you go into this HUGE prevarication? Tiny tumor on the brain, come on now, lets get real. Needless to say you have to remember that this book is based from the 1940. So, a tiny tumor on the brain isn’t just some flyspeck. Holden, dude, lets be literal. If you don’t like someone tell them, yeah the truth hurts, so do scrapped knees. Don’t say your going to go to South America with your Grandma, which he said himself doesn’t ever leave her house. In my opinion I think why he does this is because he’s insecure with himself. He is pissed off at the world because he can’t pull his cards the way he wants. Any teen would hate this. He is just jealous that everyone has the high life; he’s just an immature punk-ass BOY. He has a lot of growing up to do, and needs a serious wake up call. It’s despicable that he has to say goddamn and helluva every other word, because he honestly HATES it when people swear, why should he?

Elee,
Can I just say that I love the title of your paper? It honestly makes me laugh. I agree with you because he is very aggravating and I want to hit him too at times. Holden is very hypocritical as well and I’m glad that you can see that. I think if he used what brain he has left then he wouldn’t get into so much trouble or be so mean and judgmental towards people.
Holden does say all these things, but I think that there is a reason for his actions. He may come off as an annoying, arrogant person, but I don't think that's who he really is. He's really hypocritical, as you said, but there has to be a reason why. Empathize with him, because I think we can all relate to him. I see some of him in you, as well as me. He is just like everyone else, but he just takes things to an extreme. I enjoyed reading this essay because it is a totally different view than mine. You wrote it well and very bluntly.
wow Elee you nailed it. Like really I don't think Ive heard anyone cut it so clean be for now. You did a great job on letting your voice shin through.
Elee,
I feel that you did a good job explaining how you felt. I agree that at times he does need to be punched in the face a good couple of times. I like how you you are very descriptive in how you feel and that is a very good thing.
Love the tittle. Good paper Elee. I love your hatred towards holden. I love how you hate the way he talks.
I agree with you cuz Some people can lie about you evan though it's not true and you speak your mind out how you feel about somebody kee it up k
i don't know what this book is really about but it's sounds good. I can tell you are very insightful with the book and with the people in it.
Oh my heck. You are amazing in speaking your opinion and that is amazing. I don't meet that many people who will do that and so you are now my favorite person.
I have to admit it I can't stand liars but I am being a hipacrit myself right now because some times I lie to..I mean, in occasions it's ok to me but when you do it like he did that's a big no no.
