I I were Holden, and I'd just been kicked out of school, where would I go and why? First of all, I probably won't get kicked out of school. But, I would probably go home, where I'd have to face the facts, not run away from them.
Jane seems to mean a lot to Holden, so Im wondering why they didn't stay in contact. If they were as close as Holden describes, wouldn't they have at least called each other occasionally? Jane seems like a very nice person, so I can see why Holden might miss her.
Well, people can ruin things, true, but not "always." Sometimes we have no control over what happens. If someone wants to make a decision that impacts my life, whether positive or negative, I can't exactly stop them. Life is full of ups and downs, andf we ust have to go with it sometimes, and let what happens, happen. I can't think of a time someone's ruined something for me, because usually, when bad stuff happens, good things come out of it.

The Catcher In The Rye
I am really enjoying this book! I love the main character and how the author frankly describes other characters. Anyway, answers for the questions;
What does it mean to be unique? I think being unique is being yourself. Everyone was created differently, and with a different personality. If God wanted us all the same, he would have made us that way. Being unique means having interests and thoughts that no one else has. Everyone has the capacity to make a difference, but only through combined talents and personalities. My friends and I quote; "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken." Being unique is being different.
How do we keep individuality in an adult world? By not comparing yourself to others, and embracing your own identity. We are in a constant battle and search for our identity in our teen years, and our adult years are when we find out what we should be doing with our lives. By bringing professionality at the right time and humor and carefree thoughts and actions at the right times, we can all eventually find a balance and make a difference.
How is Allie's character similar to your favorite person? (One of my closest friends is Adrianne, who is currently serving as a missionary in Ecuador with her family) I can relate to the main character with this, because I was sad and mad that Adrianne had to leave, too. Not breakiung-windows mad, but I still get sad sometimes. We are still really close, via email, but Allie and died, and his brother couldn't keep in touch. Adrianne is super-smart, and she's about my age. She's a friend to everybosdy, and she's really nice. We love funny movies, and usually end up laughing really hard. Adrianne's my best friend, which it sounds like Allie was to his brother.
I think the most significant place in this book is when he's describing his homelife, in the first chapter. he seems to have minor trouble with his parents, and he doesn't seem to like school. The beginning is always my favorite part of a book, because I find out about the character, and I get a clue of the direction of the story. With CITR, it pulled me in from the beginning, and occasionaly, I don't even realize I'm turning the pages.
