Meat Skittles

In the book, The Catcher In The Rye, Holden has lots of issues if you have been reading. He is always complaining about everything, it's like all that he likes to do, is just complain. It's almost like he has a view of the people he sees, and really just makes assumptions about these people. There are some people that he does have respect and shows affection for. The person that he shows most affection for is his sister. Her name is Pheobe, and she is younger but he says that she's really smart. In a part where he comes home and sees her he says how she can tell how you feel, especially when she was asking him about not going to school anymore. It is apparent that he has respect for her, though he went and got a rare album for her, it broke. He brought the broken album to her, but she thought it was still caring. Holden sees that everyone, almost, is just and idiot. It seems. Whenever he meets someone, he has something terrible to say of how they are. Holdens thoughts are like a baroque of insults that he just thinks. Almost everyone is fake to him. The bartender he says is a fake for asking him a question. He thinks that she really has no interest in what he says. Showing Holden of how he has no care for anything, makes him seem repetitive on the way he says how he is the only person who isn't a douche. He is drunk in one scene and you can see how he acts different. He is being extremely loud talking about sexual things with his friend. When he is leaving he acts like he was shot in the stomach like in movies. He did that also at the hotel with the prostitute. Acting like he was wounded by a bullet and crouching over like he sees. When he is normal he seems to always be in a perfunctory style, not really showing care for anyone.


Occupy Oakland is still growing in number and they are unsatisfied with how the money with the banks is being handled. Banks such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, and any large bank corporations. The Occupy organization want change, much like Holden does. He doesn't want his life to be where he goes to school, and works for the rest of his life. He was talking about not wanting to do the same things as what most people do. The Occupy organizations just want it to be different. They want it to be fair. In the book he just wants his life to not be a boring life of how thinks it could. The protesting actions went bestial as the riot squads went to the protesters and started using tear gas with other ways to end the actions. Some people did try to sleep in a bank in San Fran. The people are going for hedonism in the protest. They won't put an end to it.
