The Catcher in the Rye resonates within society and within each individual. It is an “coming of age” story that anyone can find a way to relate to with the character beginning in turmoil, struggling in turmoil, having a moment of epiphany, and eventually suffering physical and emotional collapse. Holden Caulfield, protagonist of the novel, experiences first hand the effects of two earth-shattering traumas and setbacks that play a role in his emotional psyche. The death of his brother, Allie, the suicide of a school friend and his constant feeling of loneliness and ability to cope, eventually leads him to reject what he feels is the "phoniness" of the adult world and the idea that you must grow up. The death of Holden's brother, Allie, greatly affected his ties to reality and preempted his mental breakdown. For instance, while he was walking around in New York, Holden was continuously praying to his brother, "Allie, don't let me disappear. Allie don't let me…

the name and for a while my name was “Cookie Dough,” but of course we shortened it to just Cookie. A new school and new friends led to my world being forever changed. Prior to eighth grade, I grew up in a predominately African American neighborhood, and went to a charter school that had a very diverse group of students. My entire world was my neighborhood– church, school, and friends, all within a 15-mile radius of my house. All of my friends were African-American and everyone I associated…

The high school boy is a master of deceit and is very unpredictable. In any given second, with little to no warning, his emotions can change from jovial to indignant, almost as if someone turned a…

expectations of graduate school. From what I’ve seen of both HGSE and CCSC, I know that the next year will allow me to graduate feeling prepared and motivated to embark on this new path of that I have chosen for myself. As you know, I spent the last three years in southern Japan teaching English. I generally view this as a positive experience, but I must admit that I’ve developed insecurities about my competencies as an educator; I can’t exchange stories about TFA training, I’ve never…

1. What will you pack from your 4 years of high school that you will take with you to college? These should be the most essential items because you can not take all of your experiences and learning moments. Explain why for each item you identify. Baseball Glove. This is essentially going with me for two extremely different but inspiring reasons. When I think about a baseball glove, I first think about my past how from much I have loved the game of baseball and worked towards achieving my…

wanted to major I physical therapy, but I changed my intended major to Pre-PA. When I was applying to colleges, I did not have my “reacher” school. I just applied to college and universities where I thought that I had a legitimate shot of being accepted to. Nonetheless, I did not want to apply to Marywood. The statistic of Marywood being “the most depressed school in the nation” really frightened me and I did not want to be a part of a dreary environment for the next four years. About the midway…

As a result, the 1966 desegregation case was revived by the Department of…

learned how he came to be in his profession and what his profession specifically is.
