She also meets Jacob Coote, the school captain from the local state school, who asks Josie out. Jacob and Josie seem completely wrong together but after a few disastrous dates they get together. While Josie is dating Jacob, John Barton starts having deep conversations with her about him suffering from depression. One day, after Josie getting into trouble at school for breaking a girl’s nose, she needs to be stopped from getting sued. She thought of someone, her father.
I actually hate that book!”My dad looked at me with confusion. He said, “What is wrong? You liked it yesterday.”“I just don’t like it, okay!” I said wanting him to leave me alone. Of course, he is my dad, so he got it out of me. I told him what happened at school.
Jacob will not be able to walk at graduation. This has an effect at the kids at east Pauling high school because they looked up to him. He was the class president and there is a way that they should act and that’s not it. He and the other boys respected the school wrong for them. And they are senior they should be the role model for those kids not the other way
The teachers that have Crabbe in their class rooms are tough on him because they are preparing him for his adult life which is much different than his adolescent life. Crabbe’s teachers may be strict upon him but they are giving him helpful advice so he does not mess up his life and regret it later on. For example, Crabbe’s gym teacher Grant catches Crabbe having alcohol on him; he has a little talk with him and turns him into the principal. Crabbe is disgusted by Grant’s actions but really Grant is just trying to help Crabbe with his problem. No teenager should be drinking alcohol; Grant does not want Crabbe to get addicted with the alcohol so he tries to put a stop at it.
As the book starts off, the protagonist, Holden Caulfield is revealed by a series of hints that there is something not clicking with him. Holden starts off by saying he’s not getting into his early life because it bores him, and he will tell us of the “madman” things that has lead him to “this place.” We can conclude that Holden has been hospitalized for some type of mental breakdown. The first character we are introduced to is Mr. Spencer, Holden’s former History teacher. Holden has just gotten kicked out of Pencey Prep for failing four classes. He is visiting Mr. Spencer for “some kind of a goodbye.” Spencer tires to get Holden out of this academic failure phase.
“I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY HE DIDN’T LISTEN, AND ALL THE TIME HE WASN’T THERE” (7). Johnny seeming to be the least affected by the teacher’s manipulation and even being her biggest skeptic first to refute anything she had to say. The diction used here dehumanizes johnny’s father by not giving him a name, and it is evident that the teacher is the only reason Johnny feels this way and would come to this conclusion. Diction was not the only thing to change in the story; the characters underwent their own changes as
I’m upset because the other children bully him, especially a boy called Clifford and a girl named Aggie. Dave thinks it is only a matter of time before she kills him, and he gets more rebellious, hoping that she will do it and so end his misery. One day at the store with his mother and brothers, he refuses to follow her orders, and when they get out of the store she beats him. When they get home she gives him another dose of the “bathroom treatment,” locking him in the bathroom with the poisonous fumes of ammonia and Clorox. In the fall of 1972, Dave’s mother seems to get worse.
This is very similar to his past school records at other schools, always finding a way to get kicked out. Reading all of this shows how Holden really didn't have much of a smooth start. Chapter Two "Life Is A Game" I would call this chapter "Life Is A Game". I say this because in this chapter Holden has a very notable conversation with one of his teachers Mr. Spencer. In this conversation Holden is at Mr. Spencer's house, and even though Mr. Spencer likes Holden he still failed him.
Rose’s teachers were a nightmare; from an abusive homeroom teacher “he would lose control and shake or smack us†to an English professor who had little training in the subject. In Angelou’s essay, the problem is with the injustice of the system, there was no support from the government, but they had support from the community, unlike Rose. Rose was a mediocre student at best “I developed further into a mediocre student and a somnambulant problem solver, and that affected the subjects I did have the wherewithal to handle†he just did things to get by; there was no real connection with his studies. Angelou was an honors student, her “academic work was among the best of the year,†marked differences that only point to a system that does not recognize greatness, in Angelou because of the color of her skin, in Rose because of an administrative error; a confusion with another Rose; a placement test that categorized him as
