They are also annoyed because they get blamed for all the things the Socs do because of the Greaser stereotype. Near the end of the novel, the Socs and the Greasers have a rumble. The Greasers beat the Socs, but this didn’t really disprove any of the stereotypes that people thought about the
Especially when he had a conversation with Nick, he said, “If we don’t look out the white race—will be utterly submerged.” (13) Even his voice was “a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness he conveyed” (7) Tom wasn’t afraid to speak his opinion, but when it came to himself, he would just ignore it and keep his chin up held high. Throughout the novel it would appear Tom was very hypocritical as well. When he found out about Daisy and Gatsby’s romance, he could not handle his temper and would blow up on the both of them stating, “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that’s the idea you can count me out…Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life institutions, and next they’ll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white” (130). Even though Tom himself was having an affair with Myrtle, he belittled his wife for falling for another man telling her that her actions would ruin a family, when in fact he was doing the same thing, but he was not in control of the situation also flaring his
Many believe that the most significant themes of the book include phoniness, death/suicide, and “The Catcher in the Rye.” Phoniness is a tremendous structure of The Catcher in the Rye. People see Holden calling people “a phony” all the time. Being a phony means being someone who a person really isn’t, or just a typical “sheeple”. The main character Holden says numerous times in the book such as,”… they probably just met each other at a phony party.”- (Salinger, p.127) This quote is a favorite of mine because it shows Holden being what he hates the most, which is being a phony. He is doing this by being jealous, just like any other person would.
Conflict is heightened when people are not permitted to speak The word conflict can be defined in many ways. One of the first things most people think of when they hear conflict is fighting or arguing which is one of the definitions of conflict. Conflict is also heightened when people are not permitted to speak. There are a couple perfect examples of this in the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. There’s the part in the book where one of the main characters George tells his friend Lennie not to speak and it ends up getting him into a fight and then when Lennie tells Curleys wife not to speak.
Or something you once lived in or something – you know. Just as long as it’s descriptive as hell. Just don’t do it too good, is all.” Holden tore up the essay because he was upset that Stradlater didn’t appreciate it. Along with that, Holden hated Stradlater pointing out the faults. As soon as Stradlater said “You always do everything backasswards,” and “No wonder you’re flunking the hell out of here,” Holden asked for the essay.
Winston at times forgets that O’Brian has the ability to cause him immense pain, and yells that they can’t control his memories. O’Brian tells him that it’s Winston that is not controlling his memories, that he doesn’t have the correct self-discipline. Whatever the Party says is true, IS TRUE. There is no past except what the Party says. O’Brian works on him a long while, asking questions and inflicting pain.
English – Stream of Consciousness 12/09/2012 Cherry - Monologue Lewis, ah Lewis. The first man since entering this disgusting place that’s actually cared about me.

Alienation Holden Caulfield, an interesting man, shows that many people show phoniness and how Holden despises them to a point where he alienates them. This book shows many themes, one of them being revolving around alienation and phoniness. J.D. Salinger’s masterpiece The Catcher in the Rye shows throughout the book that Holden alienates himself from other people because he fears the phoniness of adults. Stradlater, Holden’s roommate, shows phoniness by how he is a “secret slob” also how it annoys Holden to where he gets into a fight with Stradlater over his sloppiness with Jane, which leads Holden to alienating him.

As I still continue to read the ignorant article, I come towards the abusive language when you comment and say “there are so many of the bastards”. The way you use the abusive language is very harsh. If you had done your research, you would have found out that homelessness is caused by many didn’t things such as parents, friends or relatives unwilling or unable to continue to accommodate them, relationship breakdown, including domestic violence, unemployment and loss of an assured short hold tenancy. Along with many different reasons, why people are homeless, which you never implied to use. Nevertheless, I have never seen anyone be so harsh by talking about themselves, it will make everything better.
