         <description><![CDATA[<div>Inspired by the novel “Catcher in the rye”, with the perspective of Holden, express the relationship between Holden and his parent. When holden expelled he was afraid to disappoint his parent, it shows that Holden cares to his family, however, in some cases, he does not agree with his parent attitude. He feels sorrow that his parents often ignore him and struggles with his feeling of loneliness. I’m interested in the conflict between Holden and his parents, Holden and the view he looks at the adult word. This task is a letter which Holden wrote to his parent but won’t send it out. Since this letter is written by Holden, it can completely reveal the Holden’s attitude and attachment to his parents. Also, this letter has been decided not to send out, therefore Holden’s can express his deep feeling and think in the letter.</div><div><br><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The novel that I select is “The Catcher in the Rye” that had been written by J.D. Salinger. The central theme of this book is about a diary that was narrated by a teenage boy named Holden Caulfield who refuse to grow up. He’s ego wish to escape from the fake society with the adults, this makes me think of the topic of my written assignment, which is what would happen when Holden can never escape from this fake society, what are the things that will be changed? Such as his emotion and perspective of the phoniness society. For this written assignment, I will be establishing did Holden change is perspective and concept of this phoniness society after his mental age has grown. The detail information inside my written assignment will be base on the last chapter of this novel because the evidence from that chapter can be related with the following story of Holden. Since the main idea of my written assignment is going to be based on what does Holden feels about what he was doing after 10 years. </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The book I have chosen is "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D Salinger. The format I'm challenging on is 3rd person narrative, and I choose to write the part that Holden meets Phoebe in chapter 25. Holden is the that reflect the teenager in puberty. As he is the icon of the radical anti-social teenager, the book of the "The Catcher in the Rye" is the real monologue of his two-day and two-night leave.  The mentality of puberty on this stage is not yet mature. They tend to be rebellious towards society and often has deviations. They are not too young and not too old, their thinking is still childish, so Their heart is full of contradictions, and the emotions are complicated and difficult to understand. According to the end of the novel, Holden still felt he is the talent one in that age. <br><br>The reason I took chapter 25 is that is the part show another face of Holden, Most of the time Holden is the rebellious teenager with full of complaint, and less of responsibility, but when he meets Phoebe, his attitude will change dramatically, not only want to take care on his sister, but also like to be the brother.<br><br>In this assignment, I'll try to describe the entire environment detailly including character’s expression, action, voice, clothing, and the ambient atmosphere. Thus this is the 3rd person narrative I won’t put any self-emotion in the plot. <br><br>WC: 240</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Changing plane is the fiction written by Miss Le Guin, and published by 2003. In the book, there are total 16 chapters, and each chapter shows one imaginary place that never exists in our world; people can visit various cultures by changing the planes. From reading this book, it is observed that it demonstrates not only people’s dreams and uncertainties of the posthuman society, but also accuses invasion of the gene technology and intrusion of foreign cultures or species to our environment and life.</div><div> </div><div>For my assignment, I attempt to follow her idea and create another new world where people can learn new knowledge just by connecting with one USB that contains the designated knowledge. I believe this is the dream of every student: If we can learn new knowledge by connecting with different USB, people will no more suffer from learning; Chemistry, physics, mathematics, or even Einstein’s relative theory will be no more an issue. </div><div> </div><div>I do expect if I have the magic port to connect with the USB. However, if the world does exist, the value for learning or being as one expert will become null, because everyone can become one expert in short. This is a terrified situation that I cannot imagine.</div><div> </div><div>I will not say this is just one illusion. With the development of the technology (for example, virtual reality), who knows one day we may learn something through plugging a chip into our head. <br><br>WC: 239<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Catcher in the rye”, a novel by J. D. Salinger, tells the two days adventure of a 16-years old protagonist, Holden Caulfield, who struggles with adolescence after he fails out the school. Death and sex are the two things that Holden is most concerned about, but has a inwardly conflicted attitude toward them. On one hand, he is terrified at the thought of his own death. On the other hand, he's indifferent and objective to the notion. Regarding to sex, sometime he is extremely interested in it. And then sometimes, he feels uncomfortable about it. This struggle led to frustration and repulsion, and ultimately to his mental illness, leading him to be hospitalized with the visit of a psychoanalyst.</div><div><br></div><div>In this creative piece, I aim to reflect and analyze Holden’s attitude toward death and sex. The text type chosen is an psychiatric report by the psychoanalyst, allowing me to give insights about Holden’s behavior and thoughts through a psychoanalyst’s objective and professional view, who might understand children better. Taking everything into account, the medical report / interview will outline and comment on the psychoanalyst’s assessment of Holden's psychological difficulties. I will make the style consistent with the professional context by using precise words, and make the report in a way that seems authentic through structuring of contents with the formal psychiatric report sheet.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I decided to become Holden’s new English teacher in the school, and interview with Holden. Time will be set after 2 years of the end of the book. The entire story of “The Catcher in the Rye”, are all describing the negative thoughts and negative activities that Holden does, not too much parts about positive thoughts and activities. I want to use this way, to present that Holden did become mature after what he experienced before.</div><div><br></div><div>Use a little swear words to present his dark side of his mind, but also use “regret” to let audiences know that he did changed himself.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I have chosen to expand upon one vignette in the novel “The house on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros. The book discussed the struggle and the desire of the protagonist, Esperanza, to escape the impoverished Latino neighborhood where she grew up in. She once said, “No, this isn’t my house…I don’t belong”, which showcase her disappointment and insecurity towards the dismal situation of her life and her current resident on Mango Street. In the opening of the novel, Esperanza expresses her aspiration to have a “real house” in the future, somewhere she does not need to be ashamed of when introducing it to others and can be free to write. However, the author never went into detail to describe this vision Esperanza had in mind, only in “The House on Mango Street” and “A House of My Own” did she briefly mentioned her imagination.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I want to continue the chapter “A House of My Own” to illustrate the ideal resident that Esperanza has long wanted from her perspective. This will further express Esperanza’s longing for changes and independence in addition to her self-expectation to “gone away” and “come back for the ones who cannot out”. To do so, I will be imitating the tone of Esperanza’s first-person narration, which is a combination of childlike cheerfulness (as in “Our Good Day”) and sometimes sentimental mood (as in “Red Clowns”) associated with her gradual maturation and increasing understanding of her neighborhood.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>Rationale&nbsp;</div><div>Changing Plane, the novel by Le Guin, begin his story about a woman who missed her flight called Sita Dulip. She started to image different kind of planesthat are fiction and can't find in earth, and totally image 17 islands which represent different value and special cultures. Author has use creative writing skill at every plane to combine author's thinking, knowledge, referring to some real life events instead of just describe different places. Yet, usually author use some ironic and humor elements inside this novel makes plot didn' t quite enjoyable and entertaining. If we find reason, maybe author want to share some idea realistic and non-fiction. Indeed, these 17 planes gave me some inspiration to see the world again, and I also known that the author wants to focus on audience in teenage so that it can be real and didn't lose that much joy.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>There are 17 islands in her mind, attempt to create another planet, which infer some knowledge of myself. I will still combine my skills with the author to make my planet more similar to other 17 planets.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Catcher in the Rye”, a novel written by J.D. Salinger, illustrates the story of the protagonist Holden Caulfield who seems to struggles in various different area throughout the novel. Holden represented as a rebellious voice of a young generation, he depicts his hypocritical nature by constantly criticizing and humiliating the “adolescence”, which served as a central theme for countless novels, the spirit and vigor of this period have been well-depicted by Salinger through elaborating Holden’s obscene language and emotional reactions.&nbsp;<br>--------------------------------------------------------</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Changing plane is a story about a character getting bored in the airport because her flight is delayed. Then, she figure a a way to travel to the the other world, which is called “plane” in this short stories collection. Each plane has different society with different inhabitant, and different issues. Actually, when the the main character is traveling, the interplanetary agency provides the translomat, the hotel, and all prevent the traveler doing the crime. However, the author didn’t focus on this aspect instead of motioning and describing the “plane”. In addition, the description of the plane is also scatter in different short stories. Therefore, I will intend to write a interview containing the question about what interplanetary helps the traveller, and at the same time, I can add some of the deeper theme and ideas into the answer. <br><br></div>]]></description>
