Born on January 1, 1919, in New York, J.D. Salinger was a literary giant. His landmark novel, The Catcher in the Rye, set a new course for literature in America and vaulted Salinger to the heights of literary fame. In 1953, Salinger moved from New York City and led a lonely life, only publishing one new story before his death.

About the author...
A closer look
The protagonist and narrator of the novel, Holden is a sixteen-year-old junior who just got expelled for academic failure from a school called Pencey Prep. Intelligent and sensitive, he is cynical when telling the story. He finds the ugliness of the world around him unbearable, he tries to protect himself from the pain and disappointment of the adult world. As the novel opens, his inability to successfully negociate leaves him on the verge of emotional collapse. Throughout the novel, Holden seems to be excluded and victimized by the world around him. He says in the book he feels trapped on "the other side" of life, and he continually attempts to find his way in a world in which he feels he doesn't belong. Source: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/catcher/characters.html
A quote from the book
The plot
The Catcher in the Rye is set around the 1950s and is narrated by a sixteen year old boy named Holden Caulfield. Holden is not specific about his location while he's telling the story, but he makes it clear that he is undergoing treatment in a mental hospital. The events he narrates take place in the few days between the end of the fall school term and Christmas.
J.D. Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye
"Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules."
"Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it."
Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right-I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.
At the end of the book Holden...
...warns the reader that telling others about their own experiences will lead them to miss the people who shared them. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Catcher_in_the_Rye
"People never notice anything"
As the source of the book's title, this symbol merits close attention. It first appears in Chapter 16, when Holden prefers walking in the street rather than on the sidewalk singing the Robert Burns song "Comin' Thro' the Rye." In Chapter 22, when Phoebe asks Holden what he wants to do with his life, he replies with his image, from the song, of a "catcher in the rye." Holden imagines a field of rye perched high on a cliff, full of children playing. He says he would like to protect the children from falling off the edge of the cliff by "catching" them if they were on the verge of falling over.

http://www.sparknotes.com/free-pdfs/uscellular/download/catcher.pdf
The song "Comin' Thro' the Rye" asks if it is wrong for two people to have a romantic encounter out in the fields, away from the public eye. Holden wants to catch children before they fall out of innocence into knowledge of the adult world.

Characterization and My opinion
Grant Wiggins:
Flat character.
he doesn't know what to do or what to say;
uncertain of what is the right thing to do;
thinks he's not responsible for Jefferson's evolution.

Jefferson:
Round character.
compares himself as an animal;
but then, he stays strong and brave: "good by mr wigin tell them im strong tell them im a man [...]"

"Like a layer cake, the white is always on top, and the chocolate is on the bottom."
"his godmother became as immobile as a great stone [...]."

Tales of The Unexpected
(Taste & Man from The South)
Big 5
1. Roal Dahl. For Adults (teenagers).

2. No specific theme.

3. The tone of the narrator is neutral, he just describes what he sees, and
the reader has to interpret what he's saying.
These short stories keep the reader captivated and stressed until the end,
when they can be amused, sad or even shocked .

4. Not so many stylistic devices, but even if there are short stories, there are a few descriptions.

5. All the short stories by Roal Dahl have the same structure: there's a final twist at the end.
Plot
~Man from the South~
This story starts next to a pool.
4 persons: Narrator, an English girl with an American young man, and an old man, probably Hispanic or Italian, named Carlos.
The three men start smoking, and as they are about to light their cigars, Carlos and the young boy start arguing about the fact that the lighter will not work because of the wind.
The American boy says that the lighter never fails. Carlos then makes a bet: if the boy manages to strike his lighter ten times in a row, then Carlos will offer him his big green Cadillac. But, if he fails, he will have to cut off his left little finger and give it to Carlos.
After hesitating, and being warned by his girlfriend, the boy accepts.

~Taste~
Story takes place at Mike
Schofield's house. He invited
Richard Pratt for dinner, Mike's wife, daughter, the narrator and his wife are also present. Richard Pratt is a wine connoisseur. Mike and Richard are used to making small bets,
but this night, Richard bets for the hand
of Mike's daughter. He has to guess
where the wine comes from. If he fails,
he must give his two houses to Mike.
Quote
"Of course dey are Americans! Who else is going to make as much noise as dat?"
>Half-caste, John Agard
Characterization
Short stories=characters don't have time to change, they are flat.
In "Taste", the characters come from the upper class, they seem rich. If we use the feminist approach, we see that, at the time when the book was written (1950), marriage were sometimes forced for women, and that old men that married young girls were normal.
Also, when Mike is about to accept Richard's bet, he doesn't really listen to his wife and his daughter, who are opposed to what he's doing.

In "Man from The South", the characters seem more "normal" and close to us, except for Carlos, of course, for imagining this strange bet.

What the two stories have in common is that we don't know anything about the narrator in both stories. We don't even know his name!
Opinion
I really enjoyed reading these short stories.
They are quite simple to understand, and they aren't boring. Because I knew there was going to be a plot twist at the end, it made me curious while I was reading, I was trying to imagine what was going to happen at the end. I liked the way it was written, the fact that the story stressed me. I only knew Roal Dahl children stories, so it was very interesting to see how he writes for a different audience.
Adaptation
The story of "A Man from the South"was filmed as an episode for the TV series "
Alfred Hitchcock presents
", in 1960, in 1979 and 1985.
An Asian horror movie, "Three...Extremes" includes a scene inspired by this story.

Stephen Crane
THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE BY STEPHEN CRANE
Synopsis
The Red Badge of Courage
Written by Stephen Crane, it was published in 1895
Our author wanted to depict the life of an infantryman during the Civil War (1861-1865)
This novel shows the cruelty of war the
soldiers had to cope with.
620 000
The main points to begin with
Born on November 1, 1871 in Newark (New Jersey)
Died of tuberculosis, in Germany at the age of 28
"Bildungsroman" => self discovery
The narrative used is
Our protagonist is Henry Fleming aka "The Youth" He is a young man who joins the Union Army, dreaming of the heroic deeds he will perform
Tom Wilson, the loud soldier
Characters
This novel is divided into chapters
Tattered soldier
Like Henry he has listened to too many valiant stories about war. His wounds which Henry envies are serious. He is a sympathetic character, talking about his beloved children and wishing only for a clean bed.
This book is especially written for young adults. It shows them the harsh reality of war but it keeps a high level of language. Furthermore there are a lot of complicated stylistic devices.
By writing this book Stephen Crane achieved his goal. His novel became famous and is at the center of today's American literature
This book is very well written, it is very realistic.
Our author wanted to show us the soldiers' feelings without missing any detail.
Crane by writing this novel after the Civil War wanted the coming generations to think twice before acting. War is a harsh world but as he said it is true after having been in a war you become a man.
The Civil War had been over for over a decade since the birth of the author yet the atmosphere remained the same in the Confederate states. By choosing this as narrative approach it could prevent another war. With his approach he wants us to feel at the center. We readers feel every tension, emotion in this book
What I preferred is the authenticity provided by this novel=> we tend to become a soldier ourselves. On the contrary I dislike the beginning. I found it difficult to understand because of the characters talking here, talking there which confused me.
In most of Stephen Crane's works the theme of violence and valiance emerges. He tries to show us the dark sides by following a single protagonist.
My Opinion
Physical setting
Emotional setting
The difficulty
Strengths of the book
Themes
Illusion vs reality
War vs Nature
At the first skirmish he says to young soldiers "We've got 'em now".
But he is disillusioned and realizes he may be killed any moment.

Thoughts
Movie
November 21, 2012
Part one was interesting; learn about Pi's family and schooling and his religion viewpoints
Part two; went off course and got bizarre, almost like it became two different books.
There is a great deal of symbolism in this novel with the animals and the boat. I thought the author tried too hard to try to tie this whole story with a spiritual message, and he did this in such a strange way that I didn't relate at all to this.
"It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names."
?
"seeing the same play on a whole lot of different stages."
Pi's lifeboat = faith Island = Religion

The color orange = hope and survival (Cat = Tiger; life jacket, whistle and lifebuoy)

CONCLUSION
-Enjoyed a lot reading this book.
-You can read a few chapters and carry on later.
-The links between several adventures and stories are not that important to the general comprehension of the story.
-Full of humor (this was at first a children's book), but the message carried through this novel is only visible by a young adult at least.
-For me, each chapter is a unique adventure that fits into a larger story about the importance of friendship and the idea of freedom.
-The Importance of Stories and Tales-
-Stories and tales are a recurrent motif in this book
= the source of Tom's imagination.
-The pirate stories told by Joe the barman lead to the invention of games simulating a pirate's life
-The author is actually encouraging us/the readers to do the same and identify with the characters
-This is one of the keys to the everlasting success of

Dear Mr. Hitchcock,

Many thanks for your letter. I find both your ideas very interesting. The first would present many difficulties for me because I do not know enough about American security matters and methods, or how the several intelligence bureaus work, separately and together.

Your second idea is quite acceptable to me. Given a complete freedom (as I assume you intend to give me) I think I could turn it into a screenplay. But there would be the matter of time. What delays did you have in mind? I am at the present very busy winding up several things at once. I could devote some thought to the screenplay this summer but could hardly settle down to work on it yet. Please let me know what are your ideas about this.

In the meantime I, too, would like to give you a short resume of two ideas of my own. You will find them, very baldly jotted down, on the separate sheet attached to this letter. Please let me know what you think of them. If you like them, we might discuss their development.

It was good talking to you on the telephone.

With best wishes,
