Analysis

While reading through the article, "The Importance of the Work" I agreed mostly with what was being said. The part that stuck out most to me was about the banning of the book. Now after reading the novel I can see the importance of the "graphic realism" found many times throughout. It not only plays an important role of representing Holden who he is as a character but it creates a sense of reality. Such as with the profanities on the wall that Holden was trying to cover up. You can easily walk down the street and spot numerous profanities on walls, sidewalks, side of buildings, street signs, almost anywhere. Now it was not like Salinger decided to throw in these instances of profanity randomly, it meant something. It showed how Holden wanted to protect his little sister, Phoebe, from the evils of the world and try to still preserve that innocence that she has as a child or what is left of it. Yes Salinger was bold with including such words but the concept was for the greater well-being of the reader. I don't believe though that the novel promoted a poor role model for young readers. The partial reason why the book was banned. I believe that it didn't promote a role model at all but in fact showed us through Holden's story what we can learn not to do. We see the bad in him such as the drinking, smoking, and behavioral issues. And through this, this gets him no where in life, he is practically homeless, thrown out of school, confused about life, and no set plan at all. And by reading about his instances we know what to do and not what to do because as he learned what was right and wrong we learned along with him. Overall I found that the article was meaningful, it touched upon a lot of ideas in which can be very argument able and made a lot of key points.

The Color Black!!!

Colors give off different emotions for everyone for we are all unique and different in many ways. For one person the color yellow might bring a joyful thought to their mind. But another person may view the color as ill and cowardly. From colors you can relate yourself and your emotions. For me that color happens to be "black." Now the color black to somebody may be viewed with negative emotions. Black can represent evil, fear, and morning. But I have not chosen the color black because of the negative aspects that the color gives off. My reasons for doing so is I believe the color’s positive vibes represent me well.

First to start off the color black represents elegance and class. For me this is important, I feel that it separates myself from the rest of the usual colors. It sets a higher standard for myself and shows wealth either in the form of a suit or a sweatshirt. A true gentleman looks exquisite in the fascinating color of black. Recently I bought a Lacoste sweatshirt and was undecided on what color to buy. The black or the grey one? I went into the changing room and tried on the grey one first, and wasn’t to pleased with how it looked. Then I tried on the black one and right away I knew it was perfect for myself. The color just allows other items to shine such as a watch. It makes those elegant items glisten and stand out.

I also admire the color black because it is mysterious. I like to be mysterious at times and not always let people know everything. Just let them draw their own conclusions and see what stories they come up with or ideas. The color also represents authority, it makes a bold statement. I do not like when people question my authority and my opinions. The color black has great benefits in my opinion.

Black can go both ways, it could represent evil, fear, and morning. But for me it’s a positive color of elegance, class, wealth, mystery, and authority. This is why the color black suits me well, better than any other color.

Object Paper!

As you walk into the bedrooms of young-adults my age you find them to be dirtied in the sense of unorganized. Clothes are thrown wherever they please, hanging on the bed rail. Piles on the floor. Items are scattered everywhere on top of their dressers, placed randomly. Closets are piled high to where the door won't even close. Now these people may dress well, look neat with their everyday appearance, hair styled, and clothes pressed. An overall clean look. But you don't truly know how a person is until you've been in their house. These people create a disguise for who they truly are when at home and away from society. For me though, I don't put on a disguise.

My room can be compared to a museum. It is one of the cleanest rooms you'll ever walk into. First off, all of the furniture in my room including my ceiling fan, night stand, table lamp, and any accessories is all black. Every item has a modern, clean, new look to it. Through the door you come upon a bed in which the comforter is perfectly flat. The hangover material on the sides is exactly the same length on each side. The pillows are perfectly aligned and straight across horizontally. The dresser in which houses my television sits exactly between my entrance door and closet door. The stereo on top has speakers in which are aligned at the same angle. The dresser that sits in front of my bed includes my summer clothes. Each of the six drawers are assigned for a different type of clothing such as shorts and shirts. The items are then neatly placed in the drawer, folded and by color. For example all white shirts are placed in a pile separate from grey shirts. My closet holds the clothes for the winter months. All items of clothing are hung on hangers in order by color and brand. I find this makes life easier in order to find a certain sweatshirt. Valuables of mine are kept in boxes that are stacked precisely on top of one another. My five pairs of shoes line of the floor of my closest in a horizontal line. An outer shelving around my entire room includes large hand made chess pieces. These like all other items in my room are placed equally apart from one another. Above the chess pieces is three more wall shelves that contain three ornaments each. Between by bed and my dressers are area rugs that are strategically placed in the middle of the floor.

Now one maybe wondering how is it that this represents who I am. Well my everyday appearance includes a wardrobe in which is pressed everyday. No wrinkles are to be found on my clothing. My dress is appropriate and nice. My shoes must be whiten to the max, no marks to be found on them. My hair is styled for perfection and I shave approximately every two days. I can not stand the look of facial hair, it has a dirty appearance in my eyes. My hair never gets longer than two inches, I get a hair cut every two weeks. I am true to myself with how I am in public to how I am in relation at home. Cleanliness is one of my values in which I live by day to day. Other people may appear clean but deep down inside, at home, they are truly a dirty, unorganized person. Looks are deceiving but my looks relate to my lifestyle at home in my bedroom.
