No snow.
No cold.
No holiday cheer.
No love
No laugh
No one to stay near.
No hug.
No kiss.
No open arms.
No respect.
No courage.
No protection in case of harm.
No sun.
No light.
No beautiful smile.
No comfort.
No growth.
No one to stay for a while.
No ideas.
No creativity.
No gifts under the tree.
No hope.
No warmth.
This is what the winter is suppose to be?

That Dude: J.D Salinger
As I read articles about this wonderful man, I've learned that he is VERY different and not really understood by many people. But I also learned that his work is appreciated and loved by soo many people. His ability to write such wonderful and thought provoked short stories keeps people guessing about him in general. But what I dont understand is why is this man so controversial, as well as some of his work that has been published. Society focus so much on the people, when they really should focus on the joy that these people bring to sooo many.
J.D. Salinger has written a book, that soo many people talk about, "Catcher in the Rye". Here's one quote that was said about this book.
"Mr. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" caused a sensation when it was published. With its very first sentence, the book, which came out in 1951, introduced a brand-new voice in American writing, and it quickly became a cult book, a rite of passage for the brainy and disaffected."
This book has been known to be one of the reason that people have murdered other people. I believe that that is complete craziness. How could that possibly be? But according to this quote, its true. "The most well-known popular culture event associated with the novel is arguably Mark David Chapman's shooting of John Lennon. Chapman identified with narrator Holden Caulfield, to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. Chapman was found with a copy of the book the night he shot Lennon -- Chapman had written "This is my statement" inside and signed Holden's name. Chapman also read a passage from the book to address the court during his sentencing. Daniel Stashower speculated that Chapman wanted Lennon's innocence to be preserved by death, being inspired by Holden's wish to preserve children's innocence, despite the fact that Holden later realizes in the book that children should be left alone.
After John Hinckley, Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye among half a dozen other books in his hotel room.
Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer's apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989."
But on the other hand, there are many positive things about Mr. Salinger's writings. People love the books and short stories he has written. And as a first time reader of one of his pieces, I'm honestly inlove with his book, "Catcher in the Rye." Hopefully I wont turn crazy like the rest of those wrote loved the book as well, LOL.! :)

My Red Hunting Hat
Im not for sure what I use my red hunting hat for. More than likely its to disguise myself from everyone and everything. With my hat i am able to hide who i really am from others. When im going through things, first thing i make sure i do is put on my hat. Some may call it being untruthful to yourself as well as others, but for me its a way to escape the impossible. When i put on my hat, nobody knows what im going through or what ive been through. They only see my exterior, not my internal pain. My red hat helps me deal with what im going through without everyone eslse getting involved. The only time i take off my red hat is when im crying out for help, and thats only to those who can see the real me even when i got my hat on.
Thankful For....
I am absolutely thankful for my class as a whole. I feel as though we push eachother to continue to be the best that we can be in that classroom. Although we have so many different personalities and perceptions on life, we steadly have open arms to one another. There are also individuals in the class that im thankful for.
Lexi: Weirdly i feel like ive knowm you forever, but im just now meeting you this year. its great to know that i can walk into that classroom and know i have someone to laugh with, or even bertter, have someone to help me in im struggling. And dont you just love it when i asked for you for your lip gloss.! Lol. But honestly, im glad i met you and hope to continue a great friendship with you. :)
JoAnna: Since we had that talk in bluehouse, I feel like we have growm closer to one another. I love that i can possibly talk to you about everything.
Amber: You are just a great person. Whenever i need something i can alsways rely on you to have my back. Im glad to have met you this school year. :)
