the CATCHER in the RYE
By far, this is my favorite book I have read this summer. If you haven't read it I would highly suggest you reading it. It reads really fast and keeps you interested. It is about this boy, Holden, who has just been kicked out of one of the many prep schools that he has attended. He doesn't want to go home before his parents find out he has been kicked out yet again, so he decides he is going to hang out around New York until then. He is battling this inner thought if he should go home. One random question that he continues to ask taxi drivers and other people he meets is "Where do the ducks go when the pond is frozen in Central Park?", which is kind of like where can you go if you can't go home? This is kind of what I am going to write my paper on. Anyways I really liked the book, and I am very proud to say that I have one more book, Romeo & Juliet!

I told you, you would like this book.it is one of my all time favorites too. that is a really good idea for the paper i never really made that connection in the book.
I love you both! I LOVE Catcher in the Rye! It's one of my favorites! It's a hit or miss kind of book for people. I've told people to read it, and they hated it! BOOO! Well, I'm SO glad that you liked it, and I think your paper idea rocks!
That book sounds interesting.
You're probably going to like Romeo and Juliet, simply because of the guy who wrote it. Shakespeare has a great sense of humor, and it makes you think.
I do love this book too!! it's been awhile since i've read it, so i might read it again... and you'll love romeo and juliet!
