In life, sometimes it’s necessary to leave people and things behind. In Holden’s case, he has left his parents for boarding school, and he hated Pencey so much that he barely tried, resulting in him having to leave the school. Similar things happen to everyone because life has lots of unpredictable obstacles that cause you to alter what you’re doing. For example, I had to end up quitting karate when I was younger, which was hard because I enjoyed it. On a normal Tuesday, my 10 year old self…

as we got our lunches we all glared at Jonah and Adria as we walked to the empty table next to them sitting down. "I'm gonna yell at him so hard" Cam spits balling up her fists. I squeal with excitement I can't wait to see him get what's coming for him. Soon Cam gets up from the table and sits down right across from Jonah who is holding hands with Adria. Dakota and I move to the very edge of the table so we can hear every word. "So Jonah what does it feel like to lose all three of the only real…

Bullshitting is more harmful than the truth and can have long-term effects. The person behind the bullshitting typically doesn’t care about what is true and what is false, he just wants to convince you that he is right.
