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”.
