Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye fits this description because he mentions how angry he was when his brother, Allie, died of Leukemia. Then he mentions a fight he got into with his roommate, Stradlater, about a comment Stradlater made about Holden friend Jane. He also mentions when he goes over to his old teacher Mr. Spencer’s house to talk to him about why he got kicked out of Pencey. While at Mr. Spencer’s house Holden thinks about how he left Pencey because he felt as everyone at the school were phonies but the principle, Mr. Haas, was the biggest
Don’t Get Me Started on Advertising by Keith Aconley Advertising is a disease. It is a perpetual assault on our senses, and it is on the verge of becoming an epidemic. It plagues our television screens, ruins our web browsing experiences and jingle after jingle has made the radio something to avoid. I do understand its purpose, and, if done appropriately and tastefully, it can almost be tolerable. However, the vast majority of it incenses me.

Reflection of Waiting for Superman This documentary on our current education system is an eye opener on a number of grounds. The filmmakers back up their claims about our deteriorating education system with plenty of statistics to show that we are failing in just about every measurable category. You may wonder what happens to the millions of drop-outs and under-educated students that are put out into society. The answer is that they’re present in every work environment. Incompetence is everywhere.
The word slithered through the air and soon everyone was laughing, including me, at Peter- the one the word was aimed at. The word then changed his life, it changed so bad that he went from being my happy best friend to the depressed loner. I never knew how depressed he was, not until today when he stormed into the highschool and pulled out a gun, taking open fire at everyone. I ran instantly, trying not to look at the bodies, the blood, the terror in the eyes of the people i've known all my life and then fade into nothing as they dropped to the floor never to get up again. I tried to get away, to convince myself it was a bad dream, it wasn't real, it was just a nightmare that'll be over in the morning and I'll never think about it again.

Our god is angered greatly every time he sees a kid with swag.
The headline flashed all over ever television at school as all the teachers were instructed to turn them on. How can people being paid so much money to do a job make such a fatal mistake? After watching for a few minutes, I hear even more disturbing news of how a charred skull was found amongst the rubble of the space shuttle. Columbia’s loss was said to have been from the loss of a piece of foam insulation the size of a small briefcase from the external tank during the launch. This news brings me to the conclusion that from the moment they launched that shuttle, and that insulation started deteriorating, they were doomed to failure.
They are also fun and a good way to waste time. I would say 95% of the time I visit the social networking sites on my phone instead of the computer. I use facebook to talk with people and share media such as videos and pictures with them and so other people can do the same with me. Usually most of the people I become friends with are people I meet at school or on sports
