In the next written assignment, I will adventure into the school life of Holden, and how the events in his family affected what he saw in school, and how he saw the world. In a quick view we see Holden pick up and tart read The Outsiders after a day of trying to contact his older brother, and it seems that the failure of this will bring the day to a low point that will continue throughout other activities, but its until he read the book that the melancholy passes over him regarding the situation between the three brothers, same as his own sibling. We see here a different side of Holden that we don’t see in the "Catcher in the Rye" until almost the very end of the book. I think if it had been added in the book, a scene with nature of this, the

Invisible Reject In Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, the black narrator struggles to achieve visibility and find identity in a white society. Ultimately, the narrator finds that the only way he can realize his identity is not by placing himself within white institutions but in fact reflecting on his perpetual rejection from them.

Reading through this article it seems that Hughes is not a very simple minded person, as his thoughts and answers are not very easy to understand. He discusses the fact that he is a black man from south New York ( Harlem) attending a mostly white school in north New York ( Columbia University) and talks about the indifferences that he has to overcome with his instructor.

Pencey’s ad says that they have been “Molding boys into splendid, clear-thinking young men” (2).
Self-concept and Perception Impact Interpersonal Communication Self –concept is an idea of the self constructed from the beliefs one holds about oneself and the responses of others. Jim’s self-concept impacted his interaction with his father in a negative way. This is only because Jim is not his father and doing things such as his father expected from him. The way we want our children to be is our own self-concept but it doesn’t always turn out that way.
