“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

So I haven’t read this book in about 10 years. I just randomly decided that I want to start reading again to help add some imagery and metaphors into my song writing – believe me, reading does this. So literally 5 minutes ago, I did a google search for this book, and the first thing that pops up is that JD Salinger died yesterday, the article was created at right about the same time I was thinking of getting this book again. Fate? I dunno???

I was pretty excited to find a sunblock to protect my new tattoo, and did a bunch of research on this one. Being so highly rated in the (EMC) tests and here on Amazon, I bought this and have been using it for a week. Total disappointment for these reasons:
1_ It’s chalky no matter how thinly you try to apply it. It dries well, but don’t try wearing any dark clothes or you’ll have white all over them. I should charge this company for my dry cleaning!
2_ Some people say it smells like pine, but I thought it had a metallic smell that wasn’t pleasant.
For me, not a good product.
