Cather First Half

The Catcher in the Rye is better than most of the other books we have read through the course of our round robin. The main character, Holden, is really interesting. He cruises through life without any concern for his future. Holden Reminds me of a preppy version of John Bender, the trouble maker from the breakfast club. Both of them don't care about their schoolwork or what happens to them, and they also don't care what people or society thinks of them. Holden gets kicked out of many schools because his uncaring attitude towards school, while Bender just gets a lot of detentions. My favorite part about the first half of the novel was when Holden had to talk to his history teacher. It was a really awkward conversation because he had given Holden an F. I thought it was a cool part because i hate talking to old people because any conversation you have with them is going to be awkward, no matter what you talk about. It was funny when Holden was realizing that his teacher's old, bumpy chest was sticking out which is horribly disgusting.
