“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

I got my Garmin 305 a month ago. I have not been a regular runner and I’m trying to work myself into shape. In the past I’ve dreaded exercising and have never been very consistent. Since receiving the Forerunner I literally look forward to my scheduled run days. Being a stats and numbers man this device really motivates me to get out and run and create new data!
I enjoy downloading my workout after I’m done and going over my speed and heart rate information. For the first time I have a basis to access and monitor my fitness levels and make adjustments to my routine. The software tracks your weekly distance and totals which is motivating. It’s also really cool to Google Earth your run routes which this software has built in as a click and view option.
The heart rate monitor works flawlessly. I’ve used other equipment where my heart rate jumped up and down erratically. With the 305 the heart rate tracks smoothly and the watch does not lose the heart rate signal ever. The display is easy to read and there are more features then you could ever use with this device.
After one month using the 305 I feel like I am on my way to new levels of health and fitness. This is a very powerful tool that deserves the credit for getting me there. I could not recommend a product higher. This watch is a steal for the price!

Skeeter Phelan, new college grad, wants to become a serious writer. Following the advice of a New York editor, she decides to write about something that bothers her, the treatment given by her mother and friends to their household help. As she begins interviewing the maids, Skeeter opens her mind to the terrible injustices woven into Mississippi society by old Jim Crow. The novel has three narrators, Skeeter herself and two maids, Minny and Aibileen. What evolves are deeply emotional stories about their relationships with each other and with their employers. Fortunately the narratives are sprinkled with humor, because there is so much else about which to feel anger and outrage.
What this novel does well is produce a vivid picture of ordinary life among the elite and underclasses in 1960’s, pre-integration Mississippi. Written in southern vernacular, the attitudes of the day come across loud and clear. Whether this portrayal is accurate or fair, as a lifelong CT yankee, I cannot say for sure. But The Help is an intelligent, engrossing, and thought provoking tale with much to recommend it. If she doesn’t fall prey to second novel syndrome, Kathryn Stockett appears poised to enjoy a successful writing career. One thing’s for sure; I’ll never regard a chocolate cream pie in the same light again!
