  3. Throughout the past three classes that we had in the library, i accomplished alot to complete my essay. I figured out what my thesis statement was going to be which is a big step in starting to write. I also found two very good secondary sources to help me. One of them was from a book entitled,'Contemporary Literary Criticism' and the other book was called 'Literature and Its Times'. I found very good articles in these books about Holden's failure. I have acquired quite a bit of knowledge from these articles which is going to make the process of writing my essay very simple. The only thing that I might need help on when I begin writing is the organization of my essay, because I tend to ramble, and repeat myself many times.

  4. In the library this week i had read a few books. Took down a few notes about holden in the Cather and The Rye. I read how Holden is a sixteen year old boy that would rather be an adult then a teenager. He trys to fit in with the older crowds. I also learned that he is a "phony" himself. Well how J.D Salinger discribed holden, he seems lost. Inside his own little world.

  5. i have researched into emotional termoil. I chose 4 quotes that describe and help me determine that holden has some type of mental illness. my topic wasnt an easy one to find research on, but i have found what i need to make the common task.most of my research was found from the text itself and the boks that we were given the privlege to use were only a little usefull for my topic. the novels for students book was a great recorce. i am now prepared to begin brainstorming and begiing a first draft on my common task for english 11.

  6. I accomplished my work and my sources but I needed a little bit more time on my source 3 because it was a bit difficult to get more information bout sexuality. The book was a pretty good one but the topic I had was interesting because it talks about that and it's not boring at all. In the library they gave me a lot of information about my topic but it moved on to other topics quick because mostly on chapter 9, the whole chapter talks about sex so it was easy for me to find information about that so that covered my whole 2 sources but need one more to complete. But overall I still feel accomplished for what I did and got a lot from the books and the sources I have.

  7. In the library i accompilished alot.I found two really good sources that would help me alot when I start my paper. The two days in the library was perfect because the first day i did my first source and the second i day i did my 2nd source. The sources helped me alot to relaize alot about Holden. I think im pretty ready to go and start my paper. The only thing im worried about is the thesis,im not sure what to write for it but everythinig eles i good with.

  8. In the library i was able to find 3 more sources for my research paper.I found many useful quotes that will help answer my thesis. Now i just have to go back through the book to find quotes that also help support my thesis. My thesis is about how holden always seems to fail through out the book. I think im going to need help finding quotes in the book. Also im going to need help writing the introduction for my paper.

    In the library these past three classes i have gathered information that criticized the novel The Catcher in the Rye. The information that I gathered focused on growing up and how Holden Cawfield is not ready for it. The information talked about Holden being immature and that he shows that he wants to be grown up. Like when he trys to buy drinks at the bar. And he thinks he looks older because of a gray patch of hair, but it isnt fooling anyone. Also he tries to make him self look older when giving more money to the bellhop. This novel also talks about how he hates phonies when he is actualy the biggest phony of them all.

    I may need help putting in all together. For some odd reason when i am writting about a story I tend to summerize about what i read. And i also have a problem with repeating what i write without realiseing that i wrote it agian. once i get writting and going in the right direction, i can usaully take off from there. but i alwasy need help starting out my essays. and i would also just need to make sure that i dont get off topic. Or ditracted from my work. :)

  12. FAILURE:
    Durning the past three days in the library I have found my two sources from books in the library and one quote from the book (Catcher and the Rye). The quote i've selected from Catcher in the Rye ties into my two sources i've found in the library. The research topic I have choosen is Failure. I thought this was a good topic to choose because i've noticed while i'm reading that Holden doen't care if he fails or not. He basically sets himself up for failure. In the book there are alot of good quotes I can use to discribe Holdens failures.

  14. in the library i was able to get alot accomplished the 2 days i was there. When i was there i got 2 sources and almost done with the last one. After i get my sources done all i will have to do is go back into the book and pick out more quotes. The quotes i already have connect to my thesis. The things i need to do better is to find quotes. All the quotes i picked dident mach so i had to go back into the book and find the ones that mach to my thesis. Im going to need help finding quotes.

  15. Hello all. I am really impressed with how much everyone has accomplished, and I want to stress that we will be working through the writing process together. So don't worry about pulling it all together.

    When you have a draft to work from, it is much easier to revise than it is to start PERFECTLY. No one can write a perfect paper the first time out. When you have something to work with, even if it is not very good, you have a real chance of doing very well!

    See you all tomorrow. Leaving Las Vegas in a couple of hours....

  17. In the last couple days we've spent in the library, I feel I have accomplished a lot. I had nothing done until we went to the libary. I found two sources other then the primary source that connect to my thesis. In those three sources I have at least ten quotes written down. In my opinion I need to concenrate better and stop talking. I would get more work done that way. I need help with shortening my thesis sentence and my introduction. I have never written a research paper before,only narrative essays and short stories so this is new to me. I am nervous for my final product.
