The Catcher in the Rye First Impressions

   I really liked how the book started. I could compare myself to Holden when he talks about wanting a "good- by" when you leave a school. I've gone through that before. Holden, in my opinion, also resembles many teenagers in high school now a days. He did drugs and gets kicked out of schools. A lot of students can compare to those experiences. I do, however, have a question about the story: What time period does it take place? The part about his friend buying a Jaguar for four thousand dollars made me curious. All in all I'm excited to keep reading the story.

Psychology

     Psychology is the study of the mind and its functions, primarily on how it affects behavior. I became interested in psychology because of how interesting the mind can be and how it affects our actions. Learning about psychology will help me interact with people in business and other lines of work. You need a doctorates in psychology to become a psychologists. I will start learning about my topic by taking a class on it next school year. I think I need to meet at least 1 professor that teaches psychology. I would continue to show my story on a new blog on Blogger. I think it would be cool to show what psychology can teach people.

Music As Literature

       A novel is a story with a beginning, middle, and end. That's what a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony. They're different, however, in the style that they are written. A novel tries to tell an entire story, detail by detail. A poem tries usually tries to make you think with word play. A rap is usually a hard hitting beat with lyrics trying to make you boast. A song could be written in many ways depending on the audience. A symphony is instruments making a harmonic sound. Each of these attracts a certain audience. That's how these things are similar and different.
