The Soviet Union Strikes! The Public Reacts!

# data[].attributes.body
It is almost 1950, so it is time to talk about one of the most talked about event of this year. On September 23, President Truman announces to the nation that The Soviet Union(USSR) have tested a nuclear device. It is the first nuclear test the Soviet Union has ever done in public.This left everyone in disbelief, especially the entire nation. Before the test, it was believed that the United States was the only country in possession of such weapons.After the test,however, it all changed.President Truman's statement was low-key, but not effective.The public response, up to this day,was a mix of shock and fear. Many American now feel unsafe, knowing that another country is capable of doing some serious damage to them and their allies.We are still awaiting President Truman's Further action against USSR.

Question 1: Why do you have a hard time on controlling your anger?

Answer: Well goddamn, that’s what happens when you lose your brother and when your brother leaves you. Then you have no one which makes you depressed and all.

Question 2: Why did you not like Pencey Prep?

Answer: That school is filled with phonies.  I mean everywhere. Those goddamn teachers are so mean and all. They were making me lose my damn mind. It kills me that some of those students get away with things but me for chrissake; I get in trouble for anything. I will still miss that goddamn school.

Question 3: Can you think of one thing that makes me happy?

Answer: You kidding me. I mean let me think. Well goddamn, I can’t even think of something. But, if there’s anything that makes me happy it’s old Phoebe. She is the positive figure in my life. Boy, old Phoebe can really set me straight and makes me feel some type of way.

Why can’t Holden throw the snowball?

Snow can mean purity. If he throws it he makes the choice to move to another phase in life.

What does Holden’s “wound” symbolize?

The wound symbolizes what he’s going through mentally. No one can see what’s going on with him.

To whom it may concern,

First of all, I am always depressed that I can't even think. I am not like everyone else, I am unique. The problem of being unique is most people look 'phony' to me and I hate people who are "phony". I always am curious about so many things and I also view things as if it were a game. I really think I am a man but sometimes I don't act like it. It's not like I can't be a man, it's just I'm not man enough to become one. For example, I agreed to have a prostitute sent to my room but, I never even had sex with the girl. I was to damn depressed to do anything. I felt more depressed than sexy. I am also still trying to recover from my loss, my brother Allie, I couldn't control my anger so I smashed all the windows in the garage. I still can't control my anger because I went on a date with a girl named Sally, and I made her cry. I would really like some help with my damn anger and depression because there is so much I been through, i'm unique, and I have no one to talk to. I just really need someone to talk to.

Sincerely, Holden

Alright Holden, I know you may not want to hear from me and all after the fight but, we're men that get over things. I know you know that I know about girls and all so let me just help you. First of all, you need to just relax and stop thinking about their feelings so much, things happen. It's not that hard. And take it easy for once and think twice before you do things. In terms of stopping depression, you should just take a break and just have some time on your own. Empty out your mind and forget about a lot of things that are holding you back. You can't change the past but, you can change your future. I only want the best for you. Also I did everything not to hit you but, you gave me no choice man. If you ever need someone to talk to, you come to me.

Sincerely, Stradlater
