Most Memorable Part ~ Anton

The most memorable part of the book was when Holden went to visit his history one last time before he was expelled from Pencey Prep. He had a very close bond with this teacher and they really did care for each other. This part made it memorable for me because a few years ago in my life I had made a really close and loving friend, however his position before that, was my teacher. This close friend of mine was initially my teacher, however he would never treat me as a student, but always a buddy in class. I also remember going over to his house to play video games and to have dinner one night. The time that we shared there was like the time you would share between a long lost friend. Also, in times when I was failing or needed that extra push in my work or in my life, he was also there to give me support. These are the reasons why they part when Holden makes a connection with him History teacher is my most memorable part in the book.

Analysis of Setting ~ Anton

This book took place in the 1950's . We don't know where the story initially took place, however it eventually takes place in New York where Holden interacts socially with many people. According to our book, social-economic was doing very well for bars,hotels and for prostitutes in the 1950's. Many people would be attending the bars late at night and would not stop after one single drink. Hotels were also popular because people would rent a room for the night for any kind of company that they were expecting. According to American history, this was the time after the second world war. Meaning men from the world who haven't seen woman for years in the battlefield would likely come back and be eager to find love. However, other men would just like to celebrate in bars and relax for their accomplishments and to talk about it among friends.

Character Analysis ~ Anton

Holden Caulfield- I am a 16 year old boy and lately I'm not doing so "hot" in my academics. Currently my high school (Pencey Prep), I have failed 4/5 of my subjects. I am quite sensative about my surroundings and when I talk, the english I use isn't very high in vocabulary. My biggest pet peeve are phonies in this world, especially in the adult world! I want to save all teenagers and children from being pulled in and trapped with the other phony adults that are in the world today.

Phoebe Caulfield- I am 10 years old and the sister of Holden Caulfield. My brother hates many of the people in the world because they are phonies, however me and him share a very close and loving bond. I can understand and relate to him very well, and I will agree to accomplish the things that I see fit with Holden's knowledge. To me, dancing is the world and I deeply enjoy doing it. Besides that fact, I believe that Holden also has to change in some ways to overcome his differences with the world.

Mr. Antolini- I am a teacher of Holden and I believe that he can achieve a lot better in school than what he is achieving now. I made a close bond with Holden because I deeply wish for him to succeed in life, and I also understand the problems that he is currently going through. I treat Holden as a friend not a student. However, there was a case when I touched Holden forehead while he sleeping. Once he noticed, he got up in fear and I believed that he had achieved a sense of homosexuality from what I have done. However, it my not my intentions.

Section 2 Answers ~ Anton Wong

2. If I was Holden traveling back to New York I would enjoy having a chance to meet up with my relatives that are currently living there. I would also take a tour around New York since I'm off school and i would love to enjoy the thrill or just taking in the sites of New York.

4. Holden has a lot of trouble at his campus from swearing, skipping class, and even failing 4/5 of his classes. To begin, I would suggest to change his attitude on how to communicate with people and how he looks at the world. This would allow him to have a more positive view of the world and could just give him enough motivation to try and work harder. Also, after he could change his habits, like to start studying after school and to end his smoking career.
