Mannerism

Modern social anthropology has become a study of the variations and common concepts within cultures and results of these ideas.

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.

from Byzantine style art, which consisted of icons and symbols, to the expression and mannerism that is seen at the end of the Renaissance (Bleiberg). Following Byzantine art, during 1300-1400, artists attempted to capture nature. In doing so, artists disregarded many rules of classical art.

“Some polish is gained with one’s ruin” (line 12). On the contrary, Russell creates a fictional world in “St. Lucy’s” in which the wolf style of living was slandered and many human children raised by werewolf families were forced to learn human mannerisms in order to achieve acceptance into society, “When the nuns showed up, our parents couldn’t refuse their offer. The nuns, they said, would make us naturalized citizens of human society. We would go to St. Lucy’s to study a better culture,”…

spectrum. On the other hand, Asher does interweave gender specific traits into other characters. Caleb actually displays some feminine qualities such as being so devoted to commitment, usually the woman’s role. Sierra takes on the more masculine mannerism of being reluctant to commit, “I feel awful, but he [Caleb] can’t possibly think there’s a real future in such a long distance relationship” (143). Overall, Asher clearly…
