He does this by making Applegate repeat ‘guess’ over and over again. This shows the reader that somewhere deep inside Applegate, there is a thin core of kindness. This makes the reader think about the possibility that maybe a bond of mutual friendship may be formed. Applegate and Hollis are hardly men. They are but silly boys who spend their time fighting each other.
He thinks they’re all nice to him, but instead they just laugh at him and make fun of him which signalizes that he’s lonely. After Charlie laughs at a mentally retarded boy he grows furious at himself and shouts, “Shut up! Leave him alone! It’s not his fault he can’t understand!” (Pg. 237) I know this quote demonstrates loneliness because after he stops laughing at the boy he then knows that the boy getting laughed at use to be himself getting made fun of by his friends and other people.
For example when his aunt says, “Well he’d better smarten up if he knows what’s good for him” Pg (43), she is threatening him. Also his uncle says, “If he doesn’t, I know something that will smarten him”, which implies that his uncle disapproves of Teddy’s actions. Teddy responds by sulking and is reluctant to share his ideas with his aunt and uncle. For example, “He shrugged impatiently. I ain’t been doin nothin-just playin”, he told her sullenly” Pg (43), he is trying to forestall his uncle from finding out what he has been doing up in the attic.
Body paragraph three: Topic sentence: Teddy faces reality. Support: In the ending of the story The Fall Of A City the main character Teddy faces reality when his uncle discovers the Kingdome of Upalia which is a paper doll house build from cardboard, after this incident Teddy calmly goes and destroys the Kingdome of Upalia by ripping it into little pieces.

Comparison between Holden and Charlie Structure Introduction - although that Charlie from the book the Perks of Being a Wallflower, and there are similarities between the Holden and Charlie, they are completely different characters 1st paragraph - sexuality of Holden—> tries to be grown up - sexuality of Charlie—> he seems little bit to shy, maybe because he was molested by his aunt 2nd paragraph - the main protagonist of the book the Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield has rather different relationship with his family, because he doesn’t live with his family, on the other side and also has different money situation 3rd paragraph - Charlie in the Perks of being a Wallflower tries to socialise with people, but he simply can’t because he’s just seen as a freak in the society, on the hand, Holden Caulfield could be loved by other people, but he simply wants to differentiate from others, and it is his will to be different Conclusion - In this 3 paragraph essay we could see main differences of Charlie and Holden, one of which of many others that is that their view on people is rather different, in my opinion Holden is more ‘normal’ than he’s viewed by people in the novel and acts to revolt the grown up life and institutionalism, and Charlie who wants to be part of the crowd, simply can not be, because he’s acting too strange to be part of the normal society, we can say that he could be described as a looser, because a part from Holden he indeed was bullied, but Holden was not at all The book The Perks of Being a Wallflower and recent Hollywood hit based on this novel by Stephen Chbosky, would not probably exist, if the writer did not hugely inspire in the book which we could last 2 months deeply analysed in our English class lessons. Yes, I am talking about The Catcher in the Rye.
He went, came, sang, played pitch and toss, scraped the gutters, stole a little, but he did it gaily, like the cats and the sparrows, laughed when people called him an errand boy, and got angry when they called him a ragamuffin. He had no shelter, no food, no fire, no love, but he was lighthearted because he was free” (Hugo, 219). From early on the reader can see that Marius is a free spirit who does not accept the status quo, and has been rejected at a young age by his parents. This only proves to become truer as he grows. “ Marius was gloomy.
“The guy was a little crazy, for sure, but crazy in a good way, a real daredevil, because he liked the challenge of it, he liked testing himself, just man against gook.” (946). Then, goes on in on! Honoring the valor, enthusiastic and then it get very sad and very touching that mentioned about that love his brother like twin brother that he never had. Because, Rat and Curt Lemon had a lot in common that were making the war like a children playground. And finish the story that “he tells the guy’s sister he’ll look her up when the war’s over” (947).
Although his actions are very insane, they can be seen as rational to reader considering hedonism. Devotion to pleasure, hedonism, makes Dorian be deceitful about his true self by deflecting the attention of the public from the mad man to the beautiful and intelligent gentlemen. Dorian is, young, sensitive, and emotional, meaning that he is susceptible to manipulation. Lord Henry takes advantage of that opportunity and gives Dorian the yellow book; this book opens up the world of hedonism and aestheticism which eventually turns his young life into an eternal oblivion of misery. Dorian develops a fear of aging so he tries to live his life as if it was his last day on earth.
Assignment 1: Q1. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE After studying Holden’s actions throughout the novel The Catcher in the Rye, I believe he is incorrect in forming the belief that Mr. Antolini betrayed him. Holden jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Antolini is a “pervert” based on an incident where he wakes up in the middle of the night to find his old English teacher patting him on the head. This gesture, which appears perfectly platonic and fatherly, leads him to feel betrayed by one of the few people that he liked and trusted. It is clear that Holden misinterprets Mr Antolini’s action because of a number of factors, including his fascination with sex, his mistrusting, judgemental nature, the lack of affection in his life, his struggle with adolescence and his cynical outlook on adult life.
After the death of Allie, he dealt with the event by breaking all the windows in the garage “just for the hell of it”. The onset of depression may help explain the display of over sensitivity that he shows at times. He views himself as the “catcher in the rye”, saving children and their innocence from entering the adult world that is full of “phonies”. He doesn’t want “to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anyone”, which not only supports that he is a “phony” himself, as he strikes up conversations with various people he meets, but also alienates himself from society. Holden’s loneliness and alienation causes him much pain as he seeks for human contact and love.
