Best Friend Blog

My best friend...hmmm...I have a couple of those. Not really one person I hang out with specifically because my group of best friends all hangout together when we do. When people think of us they don't really think “so-and-so and so-and-so are best friends.” But defiantly one of the most interesting in the group would be my friend Gwen. She's about 5'4" with short brown hair. She doesn't care much about fashion, dressing how she wants to. Sometimes in black pants, other times in colored skinny jeans and always with her black jacket. She used to not care about school but I have conformed her, although it's not the most important thing to her. We have a lot in common, including our obsessiveness over NCIS.


When you first see her, you might think she's a weirdo and a freak, but when you meet her, you know that's exactly true! She prides in the fact that she is different and loves being called weird. Refuses to conform to things that people consider 'normal' and instead doing something completely random just because, is quite common for her. In spite of all this happiness that radiates from her, if you are being stupid, annoying, or rude, her temper will come out. I am quite proud to call this hilarious, extremely extroverted, random, forgetful girl my best friend.

NOW IM USING BRIGHT RED!!!!!!



















Really now, I promise it's over.

San Juan Islands: 9 years ago

Some of the earliest memories I have are times spent going to the San Juan Islands to look for whales. Specifically when my cousin came to visit us when she was 13. I was five, and to me, my cousin Trisha was one of the oldest, specialist people ever. Thinking about it now, it seems strange since I am a year older than she was and I don't feel like one of those people little kids look up to. You know those people. The ones you followed around and were the most special people ever. Those people where one word from them was like a thousand from the most important king.

Well on that trip I probably annoyed her to death. Wanting to sit by her on the ferry, following her over every rock when all she probably wanted to do was sit and look for whales. Several times I almost fell into a small puddle of seawater trying to go where her long legs could take her and my short ones couldn't. Never really thinking about anything concerning me. Only that I wanted to be like her in every way possible. Whether it be falling in a puddle of ice cold water to follow her, or arguing the day away with my sisters just to sit anywhere near where she was sitting.

Today that cousin live with us. In our used to be dinning room. I still love her in every way possible, but hopefully I don't annoy her to death. =)

Catcher in the Rye: Motif

The question you may ask is why the author used motif so heavily. Because that is totally and completely the eternal question. Well hello! That's what I am here for. The author used motif so heavily because it ties into the theme so much. The theme is a coming of age type thing, and the motif (the red hunting cap) shows up whenever Holden does something immature. When Holden is first leaving Pencey Prep, it mentions his red hat. When he goes to the hotel, it talks about his red hat again. So once you realize what this cap stands for, you can understand certain parts of the book better.

Another reason why the author uses motif so heavily is to lead up to the end. The author uses it a lot so you can first realize what it stands for and what to look for. At the end of the book the author uses it one more time. He uses it to show that even though Holden has gone through all of this, he still has some growing up to do. He uses this to get his point across; that no matter who you are, there is always going to be a kid inside of you.

This time I used PURPLE!!!!

You really need a hobby....

Outside Reading

I am reading the book “Catcher in the Rye” by J. D. Salinger. So far I reall yenjoy the book athough I didn’t exspect this much swearing. So far it has grabed my attention, but that’s because I realy like books about regular people. It’s a very interesting book so far and very laughable. It is comical how childish Holden is because he thinks in such a childish way.

So far from my notes I have found that tone seems to be the most dominate literay element. I know that many people say that irony is the most dominate element, but so far I have not even found on example of irony, so I might be thinking of the wrong thing.

Now for tone, I think the author might be really trying to make a point to as what the theme is. From the books talks I have heard I deffinatly think that the theme is a whole coming of age thing, and so the word choice he uses really potrays how childish he is now.

Speaking of tone, from what I have read the tone is very cynical. Holden is very judgemental of everyone and everything. He has an oppion on everything, and it usually isn’t a very nice one. This also gives another example of how promenet the theme is.

I hope you have ennoyed this (sort-of) blog entry, and I have inlightened you on my views of the book “Catcher in the Rye”.
