    Foundation Before Density In Scott McCloud’s graphic essay, “Show & Tell”, McCloud uses an appreciable combination of words and images interchangeably to convey clear and comprehensible thoughts, He establishes better, more understood, literature by depicting images directly alongside pieces of text. Evidently, pictures are an associative mechanism that enables newcomer and experienced readers to make visual connections to text they normally would not conclude to by only analyzing and interpreting words (McCloud). Moreover, aside from images allowing readers to make connections, illustrations are particularly crucial components in literary works because they can convey coherent messages all on their own. In all, visual depictions in literature…

    “ I kept picturing myself catching him In the act, and how I’d smash his head on the stone steps till he was good and goddam bloody” (Salinger). One one would assume this came from a violent person, a person with problems controlling their anger but no, it comes from 17 year old Holden Caulfield who just wants to be loved for once in his life. When we first meet Holden we see the dilemma that he goes through throughout the entire book. He goes on this journey, both mentally and physically, and it starts when he leaves his ‘phony” school Pencey Prep. Throughout this struggle we see Holden’s true form and how it's affected him.…

You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know that's impossible, but it's too bad anyway” (Salinger). He shows us that someone always wants to corrupt innocence and how at one point in life, you must give up your hold on it.…

    He ascertains that “Sometimes the pictures can inform the words rather than the other way around. Often it’s easier for me to not say something in words. I show it rather than say it” (cited in Sainsbury & Styles, 2012, p.100). Entering the book, the reader may immediately become aware of his sensitivity to word-image interplay. It is hard to neglect the warmth and the organic feel of the book with its predominantly beige or brown backgrounds and his sketches which are in pastel tones of orange, red and brown.…

    One of the amazing things in this book was how much attention to detail J. D. Salinger put into his piece, from the questions that Holden pondered, to describing the rooms he walked into, nothing in the book was bland. Another thing I noticed about J. D. Salinger’s writing style is that it was very unorthodox. From his word choice, to how Holden talked, everything was different from books I have read in the past. Even though this book was much shorter than most other books I have read, I learned the most about a this time period than I ever had, getting a view into the culture and everyday lives of the people of the 1950s. I would definitely recommend this book because in my mind it is one of the most influential and overall great books I have read, but the…

    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.…
