By Guli GroverVery recently in school we were assigned to read Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. I really enjoyed reading this book and I strongly support that you read this book. First of all, the book is about a teenage boy’s life and his thoughts. I could agree with him on many different points and could understand many things he described. Coming from a teenager it made every word more relatable which kept me up reading all night. I am not going to give anything away nor will I explain with a lot of detail because I prefer reading a book completely from the start without much information given. Throughout the book, the teenage boy talks to us, the readers. He explains everything he feels about everything he sees which really helps us understand who he is and where he is. Secondly, his diction consist of many curse words. I am not supporting you to start using more curse words but it relates to the everyday diction I hear at school. His word choice explains his thoughts on a whole new level and helps me relate to him. It made me realize why some people say different words in different tones, there is always a story behind every person that relates to their everyday actions. Finally, Salinger uses many allusions, even though the plot was written in the “olden days” many examples are still relatable. All of the examples help me see where he is and makes me feel like I am standing next to him. Some of the allusions are things I have never heard of, which gives me the opportunity to learn more. The reason I love this book is because I can relate to it in many different ways. J.D. Salinger does a great job describing and keeps you entertained from beginning to end. I strongly recommend reading this book.

By Segovia Garcia The Babysitting Movie: Finding Nemo Finding Nemo is rated E for EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. It’s brilliantly animated and extremely comedic plus it’ll keep the kiddies occupied for a while. Let me tell you, it takes a special kind of film to keep young kids silent for a whole 90 minutes. If you don’t watch this for the love of good movies at least do it for some peace and quiet.  The Sleep Over Movie: Frozen What’s better than singing your little heart out to some good old Disney ballads? Nothing. Especially with some friends and a little popcorn. Talk about a great bonding moment. Frozen was Disney’s highest grossing film and is definitely worth the watch.  The Movie for When You Just Need to Cry: Remember the Titans Say it with me now, “I will not judge a movie by its previews.” Although Remember the Titans appears to be just another football movie I would definitely place this movie under the description of a ‘chick flick.’ It’s an amazing story about a bond between brothers that transcends race and I would definitely recommend at least a pint of Ben&Jerry’s to get through all the sobbing.  The Date Movie: Beauty and The Beast We all need a little sap in our lives, okay, you can’t deny it. Beauty and the Beast full of sweet sentiment and even sweeter character growth. Seriously though, if this movie wasn't so darn captivating I would recommend taking some notes.  The Movie for Everyone:
101 Dalmatians I’ve found through personal experience that it’s always a good idea to have a back up movie for those times when no one can seem to agree. 101 Dalmatians has a little something for everyone. A little romance, a lot of adventure, and most importantly dogs. Who doesn't like dogs? |
