“People never notice anything” (9) states Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. The story is a monologue of Caulfield’s existence in a privileged society filled with “phonies” during the 1950s in New York City. Caulfield’s parents send him away to boarding school, which does not alter his cynical attitude towards life and prompts him to be extremely apathetic and fail out of multiple schools until he lands at Pencey Prep, where the story begins. The reader discovers that Caulfield is actually very troubled because of the death of his younger brother, which affects his attitude towards life causing him to disregard a life of affluence and conclude that it is empty, providing no comfort, as many believe money can. At one point in the story, Caulfield expresses that money, “…always ends up making you blue as hell” (133). After being expelled from Pencey Prep, for failing every class except English, he decides to venture into New York City before the letter detailing his expulsion reaches his parents. Caulfield embarks on a journey in search of what is missing in his life and what will ease his depressed state. Masking his feelings behind sarcasm and witty banter, Caulfield reaches desperation, as he stays awake night and day, drowning in his own misery while in search of what will make his life better.
This novel is brilliantly composed by Salinger, who examines the life of a teenager who feels lost and trapped inside an empty world. Whether it is his compulsive spending, apathy towards school, or even confusion with the opposite sex, Caulfield is a character that is so real, the reader feels as if he is a troubled friend who is in need of help. Because of his character and the conflicts he faces, Caulfield makes The Catcher in the Rye a timeless masterpiece. In an increasingly material world, the troubles of money and the search for what will bring true happiness is a more relevant theme than ever. Adolescents will always fin

V I O POV508

Hi everyone I would just like you to know the truth about this book, well the truth for me anyway. I was 17 and impressional and an aquaintance recommended this book to read, because of all the answers and possibilitys it would provide. I read it and enjoyed it, I bought the entire series and enjoyed them to, but by reading them so enthusiastically I stated to take on this guys beliefs and as soon as I knew it the god that I believed in disapeared and was replaced with some concept of a god that was very different to my own.

I was a very happy person and had no cares in the world, but after reading these books I became a perpetual door mat for people, I got insecure and really felt I was living in hell and I was only 18. All my dreams felt worthless and I lost sence of why I was here. I honestly blame it on the books othe wise I would have had my solid foundations of beliefs that were unwaivering. I believe now that this guy is a fraud 100% no doubt about it and is just out there to make some bucks on his own idealistic concepts and knowledge of different religions. Because hey he’s rich now, the books were a great idea and honeslty I believe if god wanted to communicate with us he would have done so directly with out this guys books.

I’m now 20, and looking back glad i made the mistake of reading the books so I never make the mistake of believing that anyone claiming to give ‘gods message’ isn’t really giving gods message.

Thank you for your time.
Lovehuman How to Be

It’s definitely NOT for everyone. I was raised Christian but somewhere along the way I started question and found that there was so much more that we didn’t know about. By the time I got to these books I was ready for them. Religions have put human emotions into an ALL LOVING God. God is only one thing and that is love. Where there is ONLY love there can be nothing else. Religions have put fear into us by having us believe that God is anything other than total LOVE. God does not judge nor does he condemn.

There are three books containing these conversations and I believe the author to be completely truthful in how these books came to be written. There are some who don’t and won’t believe the information in these books – which is fine as these conversations are not going to ring true for everyone. I’m only sharing my opinion here. The information in these books is definitely something I was ready for and happy to read.

I really hope there are many others who are also ready for the information contained in these conversations with God.

Eye in the Sky

I purchased this cable for use with my PS3. It functioned properly (i.e., output video and audio) for about 6 months. At that point, about four months ago, the cable would require increasing amounts of poking and prodding to successfully transmit data. So, in the beginning, if I tapped the connection point at the back of the PS3, it would work. Then, I had to wiggle the cable more until it would work. Finally, no amount of wiggling (or disconnecting/reconnecting, swapping cable connections) would work.

I replaced the cable and things worked perfectly, which leads me to conclude that something in the cable simply failed after about 10 months of usage. Here, ‘usage’ means ’sitting still at all times connecting console and TV’. So, I’m not impressed by this particular cable, and will not purchase it again.

That said, buying a $3 cable every ten months is a much better proposition than buying one Monster cable for hundreds of dollars.
6OUT Datashield Surge Black

This item is great especially if you are working in an office as it gives you an idea/overview of how much (or how little) you are doing daily. 10000 steps per day is longer than it seems… It definitely is a motivational tool to get you out and about.

If you are getting into jogging or running, it’s also a great help with trying to see how far and long you have been on the move.

It’s light, compact, doesn’t get in the way, and is easy to use. I keep it on my purse and with me everyday.

It’s definitely for the simpler sportsman/woman or if you’re just starting to get active, and want to keep track of your activity a bit.

If you are an advanced walker/runner, who needs a GPS system and heart rate monitor, this is probably not the item for you.

Overall, was worth the buy!

I purchased this as gift for my wife, a very avid reader. She enjoys reading to relax before retiring for the day, and this product was tailor-made for her! She purchased the cover and led light for it afterward, and uses it every day! Just the free downloads are an incredible offering! My wife has thanked me several times over for this useful gift that she is able to enjoy every day! Kudos to Amazon for bringing this product to the market!

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.

The ability of this device to advance slides was good; however, the laser pointer was difficult to operate. The button (as can be seen in the upper right hand corner of the dial) is very small and does not depress easily. Consequently, the laser does not always come on when needed. Additionally, the laser pointer never lasted more than a 30-40 minute span. I think this is the biggest downfall of this product. One nice feature is that it came with a cord extender for the USB remote. This came in handy for CPUs that have only 2 USB plug-ins (one for the memory stick, the other for the remote). With a bulky memory stick, the extender cord allowed me to plug in the remote.
