A Book I will Re-read
For my senior year, I would like to make the commitment of re-reading one of my favorite novels, The Catcher in the Rye by late J.D. Salinger. Since the book was one of my first novels to read and analyze at a higher education level (my transition from public to private school education), I want to understand how much I have improved throughout my years in Buckley. But I also want to re-read the novel to enjoy the aspects of the novel that influenced me to choose it- the controversial character and his plight with the corruption of adulthood tainting the innocence of kids and his own view as a savior for the kids, while he remains between the boundaries of childhood and adulthood. Once in a while, I pick up the book from my shelves and read excerpts from it. But for this year, I intend to read through at least half of it despite my senior schedule.
