Jonathan Yardley was a book critic for the Washington Post and a Pulitzer Prize winner for Criticism. In an occasional series from The Post, Yardley critics one of the most notable novels from the past: The Catcher in the Rye. His objective is to persuade his readers that The Catcher in the Rye is neither a well written book --as many claim it is-- nor a book that is deserving enough to be labeled an “American classic.” Yardley uses a sardonic, yet criticizing tone along with rhetorical devices such as antithesis, hypophora, understatements, and epithets to support his thesis and help the reader perceive the book from his position.

Catcher in the Rye was written by J.D Salinger in 1951, at a time when American values had forced an entire generation of kids to conform to the standards set by a society that strongly castigated diversity. It stirred up a lot of controversy and criticism because it discussed taboo topics such as adolescent sexuality and rebelling against societal norms. After World War II, America had become extremely prosperous due to it’s industrial advancement, but the growth of the economy also came with strict social rules that taught people how to dress, who to date, and how to face the reality of adulthood. With the threat of the Cold War and the terror of the Red Scare, people conformed to have some continuity in their lives. They were taught

Many Americans live and die by the saying “time is money.”. In the essays, Industrial Corn by Michael Pollan and “From the Frying Pan Into the Fire,” by Arlie Russell Hochschild the statement “time is money” is widely portrayed. They both write about how people want to be as effective and timely as possible. Both of these essays show that people demonstrate and are influenced by capitalistic ideas, especially that of efficiency in their daily lives. In Hochschild’s essay, she ventures into how capitalism influences Americans through her perspective on an Quaker Oats cereal commercial she analyzes. In Pollan’s essay, he describes how the influences of efficiency have changed the production and uses of corn throughout America. As America has transitioned to becoming increasingly

Analyze the development of the weather in Catcher - how does it reflect Holden’s mentality and its development throughout the book?

“I swear to God I’m a madman” (149) Holden Caulfield says, revealing the wicked nature of J.D Salinger’s 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye. The book follows 16 year old Holden Caulfield in his days spent alone on the streets of New York City after getting kicked out of prep school. During this time Holden goes on an alcoholic rampage, fueled by hate and filled with anger towards anything he sees as phony. The book has been the cause of major controversy since its release, with schools across the country banning it from the realms of teaching for decades. Now, it is read in many high school literature classes because of its alleged similarity to the way teenagers think. The Catcher in the Rye should not be taught to young, impressionable teenagers in public schools because of its rampant profanity, glorification of alcohol and tobacco use, and narration by a mentally ill, generally horrible person.

Maize or corn is a domesticated plant of the United States. The Native Americans founded it and it quickly spread to other parts of the world. The Native Americans transformed maize by carefully cultivating. Maize developed from a wild grass called Teosinte that originally grew in Southern Mexico, 7,000 years ago. The Teosinte kernels looked completely different from the kernels of today’s corn or maize. Teosinte kernels were small and separated from each other. The first cobs of corn were only a couple inches long with only eight rows of kernels. The cobs eventually started to grow and increases the yields of the crops. Maize agriculture did not reach Southern New England until a thousand years ago.

In some societies, there are what seem to be small aspects of that society that create huge impacts on the social, economic and technological development of that society. For the people of Ohio, corn is an example of one such aspect. Even before the arrival of the Europeans, corn played a crucial role in the progress of the civilizations of early Ohio. These people chose to import their food source, rather than use homegrown sources. Their choice to use corn as a crop had serious ramifications on the economy and public health of these pre-european civilizations in Ohio. After the arrival of the Europeans, corn became more and more important in the lives of Ohioans. Many different areas in Ohio experienced rapid technological and economic development

“Bread Winners” is a painting that was created by Summer Wheat in 2016. This piece was created using acrylic on aluminum wire mesh. The reason why I had chosen this piece is because it stood out to me the most due to the artist’s use of space and color. The artist chose to use metallic acrylic paint on a black background and by doing so, gives a nice contrast and emphasis on the subject matter. The colors that are used in this piece are copper, silver, and gold. This entire painting is two-dimensional and was displayed without a bolder or frame.

“You'll have to jump.' 'I'll jump.' 'Jump!' Major Danby cried. Yossarian jumped. Nately's whore was hiding just outside the door. The knife came down, missing him by inches, and he took off” (Heller 350). Yossarian ends his dialogue in a cheery and fun way because he is finally going to be free from the oppression of the US military. This also shows his increased morals, because in the beginning, he would have just killed the girl for trying to kill him. He also uses arrangement to show America at the time like, “ Heller's satirical masterpiece tells us something about the madness of America” (Pilger, John). This shows how the novel portrays the insanity of the war at this time and how these people need help or to get out. The main part of the novel is just the insane adventures Yossarian goes on throughout his horrifying experience.
