QUESTION 1:What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?

RESPONSE 1: I think that as an author you need to do certain things to catch you audience to make them want to not put down this book. I think this book had a slow start and they need to get it together because I get board quickly and i wanted to stay with this book because I've heard really good things about this book but if you don't have a strong and appealing opening you might just lose your audience, and every writers main task should be to keep your readers reading! I like to write and to me it would be heartbreaking to hear that someone put down my book because of something I could prevent.


QUESTION 2:Make up a motto that one of the characters seems to live by. How and why does this fit the character?

RESPONSE 2 I think if i had to pick a motto for Holden I would make it "I do things my way." I think I would pick this because Holden seems like he is a tough guy and he does what he wants at all times. Holden is a bad boy and he's been kicked out of many of schools as it says in the book. Now a days that kind of things wouldn't fly because schools have cracked down on those types of things. I think he took advantage of that time period and he perfected it. Like I said before he did a good job at connecting to kids

Post #2 question responce

I would see perfect in my book as Holden's friend. I think we would get along because I'm not into the whole preppy thing and girls and guys that so perfect. I would travail with him to see the Spencer's. We would get along because I think he seems cool. I like how the author describes him exactly like my father when he was growing up. This character really reminds me of him when he was a kid. I think the Holden and I would be Buddy's. He thinks the same way and acts the same way. I've never gotten kicked out of a school though. I think that it's too early to tell for sure but I think I am a lot like him. I just started to read this book and I really like the characters and everything about it.

QUESTION 1: Would you read another book by this author?

RESPONSE 1: I would from what I've read so far because I like the plot and style of his writing and how descriptive he is. he writes a lot of story's on good topics. this book in particular is cool because he writes about an outcast. I enjoy his style of writing because he writes about true things. He wrote about how school is not always a good thing and adults try to make school sound good and here he shows that he connects with his childhood. I think that this is good to read because I think that it makes me want to read it more and more.


QUESTION 2: What does this book remind you of?

RESPONSE 2 I think that this reminds me of everyday things. He had a good sense of things and he knew that he could get attention from certain audiences. It was cool that he caught my attention so fast. Ms. G and Ms. Collen though I would like this story a lot.
