Quote #1: Sergeants shouldn't tell you take the laundry to the place like this without telling you what the place is.
Response #1: I really liked this quote because it really mad me think for awhile and after I think it means that you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch because he's saying that you should never assume anything. I've never heard this quote before and I really like it. Its also really cool how he made it seem like there was a higher person such as the "sergeant" and that clicked in my head and I used my previous knowledge that a sergeant is a very high position in the medical industry.
I also liked how the author used something that most people don't like such as the "Laundry." Frank really did a great job comparing things through this whole book. There was another thing that I pointed out, He is implied that he has been through something like this before. You can sort of tell in the way he describes it that he's had someone trick him or deceived him.
Quote #2: After the hospital two good things happened, I was promoted to corporal because of my powerful typing when I turn in supply reports and the reward is in two-weeks.
Response #2: I love that the author made it seem like they thrive on being promoted. I think this is important because they will do anything to be better. Its cool that he also made it seem as though they still have the slightest bit of hope and that could stand for numerous of things such as America today. Past events like when the great depression. Events like this make it clear that even when everything is going really bad that someone still has hope

catcher in the rye #2
I wonder why the author...
I wonder why the author made Jane not answer the phone when he finally pushes his worry's aside. He instead called Carl. I personally would have written it so that she picked up but I think he wanted to make Jane more mysterious. I think this was good and bad because it delayed the story but kept me guessing so it was useful in certain ways. I'l also like to point out that he meets up with him later. This was interesting because Carl went to his old school. This was strange because he jumped back into the story and I though that was strange he would make him be the first person he would call. I think that Jane shouldn't have picked up and that is what I would have done.
How does this story remind you of you life...
I think it does because I think that I know what he might be going through because he could feel a little sad because Jane didn't answer and he could feel unselfconscious about his looks and I've been through the same thing and it is sad and very discouraging. I've also called an old friend of mine for advice so that connection is what I think when I thought. There might be another time but i remember called my old friend from third grade.

Question #1
page: 28
Said by: Tom ???
quote #1: Its a warm October day and I have nothing else to do but what I'm suppose.
Response #1: I think that this quote really shows that he doesn't really like this place at all. He's obviously board and he didn't like how his life there was. its interesting that he didn't because he's getting job. That would be a good thing at this time and everybody wants a job and make money.
I wonder why he didn't like his job?
Question #2
page: 37
Said by: Eddie Gilligan
Quote #2: There is no place to sit anywhere along the street with landladies peering and watching and there's nothing to do but wander over to a park by the East River and I wonder why America is so hard to recreate your past life.
Response #2: I think its cool how it really shows how they talked back then and its pretty interesting how this author writes. He writes as though its a rant and as you can see the quote that I picked was pretty long and its strange. I think that another reason i really like this quote is that I can really see the time that there living in, even though it wasn't that lang ago it describes. I also think that Eddie knows his way around already and its like he's gotten use to it.
Would you live in this time period?
