persepolis and catcher in the rye in the same boat..

hmm.. where to start, alright the fact that the book is a comic auto whatever is somewhat interesting and a nice change of pace. i for the most part enjoy the illustrations except for when i cant tell who is supposed to be who in a given picture. as far as the story itself, uhh i dont feel like it has very classic style plot, where there is rising action climax and falling, or the whole harry potter/lord of the rings story line. It simply seems like a book of the random events in her life that shape who she is, and i think that this book is very comparable to Catch in the rye.. And thats just how i feel

holden and the whore

alright this scene made me upset for several reasons. and i am going to list them off
1. He ordered a girl to his room and chickened out but was still willing to pay
2. He agreed to $5 for a throw and ended up having to pay $10
3. When Maurice was standing over Holden, he didnt shut up and he kept running his mouth and got punched.

I feel like Holden not being able to hold his tongue even when the odds are stacked against him. The first time this happened holden was on the ground then got punched out by stradlater because he didnt know when to stop. The second time maurice punched holden out because holden didnt know when to stop. I wouldnt be surrprised if in the end of the book holden keeps running his mouth to the wrong person/people and gets hurt even worse

profes. eval.

ok so we have read the first half of the book.. and still i cant put my finger on holden.. or dpat for that matter, but whos counting. anyways i cant tell if holden is a normal teenage guy who is just a bit of a rebel. or a teenage guy with a chemical imbalance in his head. I am constantly going back and forth with my evaluation of him and i just dont know what to think. Holden can act extremely normal and then he will just flip a switch and turn into a extremely depressed and cynical kid full of hate and anger. idk he is a tough person to predict and i just cant tell yet if i like him or not.

salutations
