Dear… Sally
I want to apologize for the way I behaved with you. I’m sorry that I told you, “you give me a royal pain in the ass” (Salinger 148). I have never spoken that way to anyone. To be honest, you really don’t give me a pain and I think you’re a very beautiful girl. When I saw you coming up the stairs I fell in love with you and wanted to marry you (Salinger 138). I wasn’t in my right state of mind on our date, but I really did mean it when I asked you if you would like to run away with me (Salinger 149). I have been going through a rough time since Allie died. I have been depressed and feeling lonely. I’m not supposed to be on vacation right now… I’m actually supposed to be in school right now, but the truth is that I got expelled but

In this story catcher in the rye by J.D Salinger is about a guy name Holden who is going through a lot of thing in his life as he eventually start getting worse in his situation and how he call almost everyone ¨phony¨. Now I would said that in this story there are some thing that are still relevant to people, such as other people going through some rough time and some people plan to just run away from their own problems. In this story in about page 52 he finally decided that he was finally going to leave pencey, but he then realize that he never gotten a proper goodbye from people and right about when he about to leave this is what he said¨I was sort of crying,I don't know why.¨.

    The Political Non-Apology Analysis

    On August 17, 1998 President Bill Clinton delivered a speech to the American public addressing an inappropriate relationship with a former White House Intern, Monica Lewinsky. In comparison to Robert M. Eisingers “The Political Non-Apology” Clinton 's public apology has some of the characteristics of a full apology but, is predominantly a non-apology. Although, acknowledges the offense committed, he minimizes his offense throughout the speech and plays the victim card in attempts to potentially restore his reputation. At some points he attempts to apologize, but his choice of words diminish the effectiveness of his apology and his form of non-apologizing is used to his advantage. Clinton appears to meet some of the criteria of a full apology;…

    Apologizing In A Sorry State By Mitch Miyagawa

    Apologizing is usually what a person would do if they have done something wrong, or if they have personally hurt another individual. However, sometimes an apology is given when it is something that people have done in the past. There have been so many wrongs in the past that some people still feel the need to be apologizing for them, and some people still feel they are owed an apology from the governments of the involved countries. In “A Sorry State”, Mitch Miyagawa discusses the many apologies that have been given out by governments around the world and what those apologies truly accomplish. There has been an apology given for every war, every case of discrimination, and every misguided choice.…

    Untraditional Punctuation In Catcher In The Rye

    J.D. Salinger writes conversationally in Catcher In The Rye, he often makes use of technically incorrect grammar and untraditional punctuation, such as dashes. In this work I attempted to mimic Holden's style but not his character necessarily. The allusion to The Royal Tennenbaums reflects Holden’s tendency to reference outside works, though Holden would never use a film as a positive comparison due to his hatred of hollywood. A symptom of Salinger’s stream of consciousness style is Holden’s habit of continuing the same thought for many sentences, or simply stretching the same sentence out for a long as possible.…

    The Catcher In The Rye Analysis

    Salinger shows his attentiveness toward the rhythms of speech by using italics quite frequently in order to let the reader know when a character is placing emphasis on a word, or even on just a syllable, in dialogue. The emphasis of a single syllable shows a realism to the dialogue of The Catcher in the Rye rarely seen not only in the works of Salinger?s time, but also before and after it. Salinger?s emphasis on the rhythm of speech is mirrored in his emphasis on the rhythm of thought, which, in turn, emphasizes the importance of both. Salinger uses paragraph breaks not only to change from one subject to another, but also to accentuate certain thoughts. In another demonstration of his literary brilliance, Salinger shows that he knows the human mind by using shorter paragraphs for more important matters.…
