The Catcher In The Rye chapter 4

Chapter 4 is about Stradlater and Holden talking in the 'can' as they call it. I can see Holden getting a bit jealous that Stradlater is going out with this girl and he even asks him to say a few words to her. Her name was Jean Gallagher.

The Catcher In The Rye chapter 3

Chapter 3 probably has been one of my favorite chapters only because i totally agree with his thought that he likes it when books are funny once in awhile and then he starts talking about a guy farting in the middle of another guys speech. Now that cracked me up. He talked about where he lived on the Ossenburger memorial wing and how it was named after a guy who went there that was a hot shot. Then we met a new character named Ackley but his real name was Robert Ackley.
 Then Holden's roommate Stradlater walked in and Ackley hated him. Stradlater got back from the football game and Stradlater said he was going on a date with a girl Holden new.

Big Questions.

My topic is music, music is something i can make and be apart of and say,"I'd never be happier doing anything else." And its true. When i cant talk, nothing makes sense i sit down play something or listen to music. Ive always loved listening to music and hearing my mom and dad play music incredibly loud when i was a kid. But when i first herd a guitar for the first time, it was from my uncle, he played under the bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I new he played but never actually sat down and herd him. He played it and i felt it, i felt the vibration of the strings and them being strummed right in front of me. I felt love and i felt it in my heart, theres no exact way to explain what i really feel when i play an instrument or i hear the strings being played with that sweet sound of an incredible invention. That may have been a long explanation but that was just reason.
This topic will enrich my life by letting me be a social bug and talk to many people, it'll provide value for learners by explains there is so much more to an instrument and how hard it gets to make the sound that you hear. To learning how instruments got to be more brilliant and smarter to get to play. And learning the different ways and sounds to develop.
My topic requires to know the importance of knowing styles, history, other musicians and many more. But just incase i should take a class of business in college, maybe just incase i ever get across of owning my shop. And to include that learning an instrument requires alot of practicing and expierience, thats what all musicians must do.
My plan to learning more about music is an incredible amount of practice and time for what i need for this. And of course learning sheet music and lots of reading about instruments.
Resources i could reach without obsticles are music mentors, teachers, famous people who have a huge backround and story on how they got to be what they are. And always playing the different guitars and amplefiers and other instruments.

Questions.

So as for this assignment i had to ask 3 people about whet they wanted to do when they're older right after writing down what i wanted to do. I asked my best friend Anna, what she wanted to do? She explained she wanted to be a tattoo artist because its the only thing she could think of that she would be happy with. Being able to draw something(something that she loves doing and is amazing at doing that, ya i'm so jealous... You would be to) and having it permanently there on someones body. Hearing there stories on why they're getting this. Its the only thing she can think of that she would completely love to do. She'd be able to get to know really cool people and get paid for doing it.But then i told her what i wanted to do which was either to be a clinical psychologist and work with music on the side. She gave me a look and wanted to really know why i want to be a clinical psychologist, and i told her well its really just what i'm interested in even if all be in school for 10 years to get a PhD i would really want to accomplish it. She did disagree and asked me if i'd really be happy doing that she asked,"picture yourself working 10 years to get this thing done and actually getting your PhD while all of your friends going out doing stuff and your home studying. Now picture yourself working with guitars and instruments maybe even owning your own shop one day and now tell me if you'll be happy with that or clinical psychology." It took a lot for me to think about it, all she was trying to do was really explain to me that she knows me and she knows i wouldn't be happy with doing that. I'm not passionate about clinical psychology(i honestly barely know how to spell psychology) but i'm passionate about music. She pointed to my guitars, bongos, piano, ukulele, harmonicas, my drum set, and all the books i have for them. If i really wanted to be a clinical psychologist i would get started on it, but i'm already started on  music. Anna told me to imagine me not going to school for psychology with out the fact of my family looking at me wrong because i didn't continue going to school. My uncle Tom always said to me after i played guitar to him(we do that every time we see each other) he always said i see this in you i see the way you play and i see you doing great things. When i tried writing about what i wanted to do when i'm older i stopped, i stopped because i just couldn't stop explaining it, i wasn't interested. i rewrote my paper and got it done in 10 minutes. And i sat there, i sat there thinking what would i do without this person. She reminded me i cant live life like the way i was living. Believe in yourself and have fun. Do what makes you happy. This explains why i decided to only do my topic off of music. I will still want to learn of psychology, i am interested. But my passion is music.
