Catcher in the Rye #1
In the beginning of Catcher in the Rye, I thought that Holden was an ignorant young man who was nice on the surface. Holden was friendly towards Ackley, but I didn't know if it was really him or not. But when I read deeper into the book, I realized that Holden was a thoughtful man. He has a hard time living through his brother's death and wrote about his baseball glove in an essay for Stradlater. Holden showed his true side through this essay and I began to view Holden in a different but positive way.

Dear Jamie Oh,
Your blog was very deep. It touches a topic that I had not picked up on. I agree, his brother's death is an important part to who is and I thank you for pointing that out to me.
Sincerely,

Yeah, I agree. His brother's death is still obviously a big part of his life; he has a hard time letting it go and it frequently affects his mood, whether he really knows it or not.
i agree with what you say but sometimes i feel like he's almost TOO deep and gets himself over analyzing everything.
ps. how on earth did you get your page so badass?
goodness.
