Character Development In Holden Caulfield In The Catcher In The Rye

Even though it may seem that George still has belief because he is telling Lennie about it, but George is just trying to put Lennie in a favorable place. The reader notices this because George does not take a pause and just keeps going at the beginning of the book. Instead, he is overly calm and not yelling at Lennie for what he did. Therefore, Lennie is oblivious to death of their dream through George.

I can help the client best by being self-aware, removing any biases, and being present in the moment. I learned that one way to be present in the moment is by practicing active listening. Active listening is fully concentrating on what the client is saying and getting a full understanding of his/her story. It is engaging completely, paying attention to change of thoughts, emotions, and body language. Then I learned the importance as a counselor to mirror back the same tone and body language because it can greatly impact the counseling relationship.

He realizes it is not such a bad place after all. Not only is he getting support from the community, but his dad is starting to act like a real parent. Doug doesn’t just realize Marysville is a great place, but he also has a more positive point of view on life. Even though there are still things wrong in his life, like Lil having cancer, he focuses on the positive things in life instead. When he knows Lil only has a one in four chance, he tells himself stats don’t matter, even though he made it seem like they were important earlier in the book.

We then see how Tiffany attempts to become friends with Pat and accepts to give Nikki Pat’s letter just as long as he becomes her partner. He accepts and begins to attend her practices. Meanwhile, through each rehearsal we can see a change in Pat’s upbeat behavior – he is more calm and composed. During one of his practices, Tiffany gives Pat a letter that supposedly came from Nikki.

At first, it is evident Hester is mindful of Pearl’s father, since she will not reveal who is, an act that would submit him to shame as well. Hester isolates herself in sin; therefore, she isolates herself in the distant cottage. When Governor Bellingham attempts to move Pearl elsewhere, Hester knows she can depend on Dimmesdale to convince him otherwise because Dimmesdale is the father. Because Dimmesdale has assisted her, Hester concludes “there lay a responsibility upon her, in reference to the clergyman” (Hawthorne 125). Likewise, when they are by the brookside, it is confessed Hester “still so passionately” loves Dimmesdale.

Bevan and Sole (2014) noted, “Emotional support involves acknowledging and understanding what the person in need is feeling” (p. X). Dinnozo’s failure to connect with McGee through feelings, compassion, sympathy, and concern could have possibly prevented this conflict from occurring. Dinnozo could have assisted McGee by asking clarifying questions to gain a better perspective since the situation was beyond McGee’s control. Being a good listener and using the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” was clearly displayed by Gibbs at the end of the show when he had all his co-workers over to his house. Ideally this is not what Gibbs wanted, but he set aside his personal thoughts and feelings and showed his co-workers that they meant more than himself.

I believe Holden is truly lonely. Throughout the book you can Holden always want hang out with someone. He asks his taxi drivers, the girls in the lobby and gets a prostitute just so they can talk. Multiple times he thinks about calling family members and friends but always talks himself out of it. His excuses are always no wanting to talk to parents or any adults for that matter.

The tone is much lighter, it is not of sadness for Joshua for he is unaware; only the audience can experience the sadness. Joshua is protected from the atrocities of the camp because his father manufactured the situation into a game (Gray, n.d.). Since the tone was distinctly unalike in the two stories, in the same way, the experiences were also

He isn't a person who judges individuals of their color and doesn't give up on dreams or visions he believes in. His humanity shows throughout the novel, and this is very important to young readers, because Atticus gives off the influence of an important role model. Atticus' humanity shines within the novel, and doesn't change or switch up for any reasons. His character's heart doesn't see color of the human skin, but rather sees the care and joy that the individual shows from within. Jem, Dill and I went back into the courtroom in time to hear Atticus’s closing statement.

Assef presents two options: give up the kite, or get hurt keeping it. Since Hassan is so loyal and devoted to Amir he decides to keep the kite. As a result Assef’s friends hold Hassan down while Assef rapes him. Assef said, “I’m letting you keep the kite, Hazara. I’ll let you keep it so it will always remind you of what i’m about to do,” (TKR pg 73).

Writer encouraged J.C to keep that frame of mind and remain positive. J.C did mention that he felt anxious but would not explain to writer why he felt this way. J.C mentioned that he felt better and less nervous after talking. Writer encouraged J.C to come with her with any other concerns or even just to talk and J.C agreed that he would do

in original). When Holden calls Carl Luce, an acquaintance whom Holden hates, as a last resort, he comes the closest to the truth about himself. By telling him “your mind is immature” (147), Luce acknowledges that Holden is in need of psychoanalysis or some such professional help, but, in true Holden fashion, he laughs it off. Instead, Holden starts formulating the idea that he will solve his problems by retreating to “a little cabin somewhere with the dough I made and stay there for the rest of my life” (199).

After the conference, Marilla shows sympathy towards Anne as demonstrated in the last part of Scene 3. I think Marilla judged Anne by her appearance and not by her personality and when Marilla learned more about Anne’s past life, she then developed a passion for Anne and decided to keep her after hearing about her past life rather judging her on her physical appearance and then trading her for a male orphan. That’s how I believe this will affect her relationship with Anne and Anne’s story about her past life caused Marilla to change her

This shows that Boo helped teach the kids you should never listen to rumors. You do not truly know someone until you have been in their shoes. Each day someone is made fun of or judged.
