Catcher in the rye responses

I can connect with this by the way there's a school with little sport activities going on. Not only the sport activities but how he has failed certain classes and is getting suspended for the remainder of the semester. Many students get in trouble once or twice during school and face the consequences. Then the students that have done something wrong, hopefully learn from their mistakes when they return to school. In all many high school students have things going on in school and out of school in their own personal life.

While I was reading I was thinking about how the student deals with the problems he's been going through. Reading the text made me think about the situations I have gone through at school when i had been kicked out. This text was about how students that have been suspended or kicked out of school go through certain problems. Different people who have not gone through the same or nearly the same situation might think of the text as a student going through a rough struggle.

"There were never many girls at all at the football games. Only seniors were allowed to bring girls with them" In this quote Holdan explains how at the home games there is very little girls that attend the game. I selected this passage because it made me think of how it would be if all the schools had this policy. Holdan talks about how seniors have the right to bring a female to the game and how it's not fair to the other students. This passage is interesting because people hardly hear of a schools that doesn't allow girls to attend home games.

"Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules." This passage talks about how life is similar to a game by how many times a person can make a mistake in life. The unique thing about this passage is how its true and how a person has to follow rules in life. While I was reading this passage I was thinking about how someone had told me the same thing after I had made a mistake. Mr. Spencer was talking to Holdan about how in life you have to follow certain rules and how life can be tough.

Connector--In the story Catcher in the Rye Holden leaves late at night to head for New York City. He leaves late because he was tired of waiting til Wednesday to go to New York and he was also lonesome at Pency. I can connect with this by how a person can feel uncomfortable when he/she is waiting to go home when they're somewhere else that doesn't except them. That then leads to that person anxiously waiting to leave for home but the wait is too much for them and they either call for a ride home or start heading home on their own.
