Catcher In The Rye

Catcher In The Rye is the kind of the book that is hard to put down. I love the way the author communicate with his readers, in the most natural, blunt way. I absolutely loved it! I really dislike those books where the author tries to be all sophisticated and sharp, and saying something completely awful but in a nice way. I find that very fake, like if you want to the readers to feel the way you feel, write it and mean it.

I really have trouble dealing with fakes, its like talking to a sponge, it can soak up your information like soaking up water and then when you squeeze it, the information is all gone. I can relate to Holden from the book, because we both hate phonies. The world is filled with phonies and showoffs. Like really, who the hell would care if you were wearing some high- end Gucci belt, or a rope that would do the job. The sad thing is, everybody cares! Well most people, the fools and the phonies. I'd rather have my pants fall down than wearing something that everybody would go OMG! This is only the surface phonies. Then there are phonies that is fake from the inside out. For example, some one would say to you I love you, just because you lend that person something like a pencil. And that is nothing compare to some phonies that literally would lick your behind in front of you, and once they get behind you the would stab your back and poke your heart out. You have no idea how much I hate phonies like that! People needs to learn how to be more straight-forward and more honest to each other, because being truthful is just as effective as saying I love you.

Another thing that I totally share something with Holden is that we do not like complicated people. I believe the most beautiful thing in the world is something that is very simple yet stunning. I can go on and on with how much I like this book, by I will end here, even though I don't really want to. Hope you actually can think on what i'm saying.

PS: I would like my readers to concentrate on my point rather than concentrating on how many mistakes I made. Remember, there are a million way to get your point across, as long as you get there, then its cool. It really doesn't have be on perfect and gold stained.

The Death Of A Salesman

Success is something that can be only defined by the individual. Also success depends on ones perspective on what success means to them. Success is a very personal subject to talk about. One might consider a happy and healthy life to be very successful, yet others will consider that to be very dull. Yet there are people that do not consider themselves to be successful unless they conquer the world and earn fortunes. There is not one precise definition to success. But I think being happy all your life is the most successful. When Charlie said: “we are only worth what we can sell.” he Is putting a terrific pressure and stress on himself and others. That simply means that our lives are only worth how much money and how much property we own. Charlie's idea of success not only cause him great loss and misfortune, also it limits his potential of having a much happier life.

Poor Willy can only see as far as he allow himself to see. He is so anxious to be successful both himself and his sons, that he forgets the basic elements of a happy, healthy life. Also he put others in his crazy dream of being successful, yet he doesn't know that he is hurting other's potential to a happier life as well. To die the death of a salesman is the kind of the death we should avoid, it is better to die in happiness.
