I oughta go down and say hello to her, at least” (32). It is obvious that Holden has some interest in Jane and that she may have some interest in him but Holden can’t even bring himself to go say hello to her. Throughout the rest of the novel, Holden reminisces about Jane and is often tempted to call her and go on a date with her but often finds excuses not to call her. A similar situation is had with Sally Hayes. At first, despite his constant urge to call people and communicate with them, he resists calling Sally because her mom doesn’t like him.
The ending of the novel is significant in showing how the society is unable to comprehend the severity of evil and darkness, it is ended with a very mistaken view, where the officer compared the ordeal of the boys had to go through with a popular book Coral Island, which is a novel featuring an exciting adventure of the 3 stranded boys.

When being asked if he was happy, Montag’s seemed to search for the answer to that question throughout the whole book. Montag’s conversations with Clarisse gave him a different outlook on society. She was a young girl but made a big impact on Montag to the point were he was questioning his state of happiness. Bradbury says “He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back”(Bradbury 9).

I felt like giving somebody a buzz. I left my bags right outside the booth so that I could watch them, but as soon as I was inside, I couldn’t think of anybody to call up... Then I thought of giving Jane Gallagher’s mother a buzz and find out when Jane’s vacation started, but I didn’t feel like it. Besides, it was pretty late to call up. Then I thought of calling this girl I used to go around with quite frequently, Sally Hayes... but I was afraid her mother’d answer the phone” (59) Holden knows he wants to call someone, but ends up interdicting all his options. The proof is evident as with every name Holden thinks of, he can find a good reason in his opinion not to call them.
This means that since everyone was hitting and picking on her she didn’t give up. She actually uses the bullies’ offense as her defense. Its quite unique because this is something you don’t see everyday but her grandmother told her to thank the people who called her names.Its a brilliant idea by her grandmother, yes indeed these words were hurtful, but Melba was clever enough not to show it.

I chose this book because i actually read this book long ago when I was younger and I decided to expand on my little prior knowledge of this book “Warriors Don’t Cry”.
Communication in Happy Marriages Patrick Thompson COM200: Interpersonal Communication Instructor Debra Austin May 20th, 2012 I believe that communication is very important in not just marriages but also when you are dating. If you do not know the person that you are dating or married to then I believe that the relationship would be setting up to fail. I can say that my fiancée and I have decent conversations but I am pretty sure that there is a lot more that we could learn about each other. Due to the lack of conversation between my fiancée and me early on in our relationship, there were hardships. After almost coming to a breaking point we had to learn how to conversate in a way that didn’t come off as hostile or not actually hearing
Granted she did submit a draft to the school of what her speech would consist and used the word heck instead of hell. Why should she have to submit a draft to begin with? The school wanted to be sure whatever Ms. Nootbar planned to say would not cause any embarrassment and would be considered politically correct. Had Ms. Nootbar said heck as her draft had stated, she would have been practicing self-censorship.

She asks “Wha’s the matter with me? Ain’t I got a right to talk to nobody?” (pg 87) She doesn’t get to talk to people very often, and when she saw her chance with Lennie, “her words tumbled out in a passion of communication, as though she hurried before her listener could be taken away.” (pg. 88) She was very desperate to want to talk to someone as dumb as Lennie, since normally people would try to avoid a mentally disabled person. She also wants to make sure that Lennie is listening to her when she says, “You listenin’?” (pg 88) Curley’s wife needs to be listened to, because just her talking wasn’t good enough for her. She needed the Lennie to understand her loneliness as well.
