Emily, I read your comment. I am wondering more how you feel about the way Holden speaks - the way he expresses himself. If he were talking directly to you, could you relate to what he was saying?
I think that its much better than a formal reading because it gives you an exact picture of how he feels and how he would express it to you if he was speaking to you in person
"Yozel," that's how i feel, too! I feel like I could describe him better as a person because I'm hearing his story in his words. We all use slang, repeat ourselves, exaggerate - I guess it makes Holden more real to me.
I feel like it should be 3rd point of view because the book is more intresting to me when its like that i dont like the main charachter being also the narrator thats just in my opnion
i do, like when the author writes a book, in the first person perspective, because you take in the story, through the main characters eyes. which i think is related the closest to everyday life, thats just personal preference.
I enjoy that this book is written in Holden's point of view. It allows you, as a reader, to understand his thoughts and feelings at a deeper level. And plus, I feel that you can relate to him more and create your own emotions towards actions of his.
I think since it is in holdens point of view, he can tell the truth about a person or tells the other characters in his point of view. Which may not be the truth.
I like the fact that the book is written in first person. Holden is actually speaking to the reader about the issues he has faced in his past and what he's facing right now. The reader can understand him more when he tells the story of his life.
i think that the book being written in firts person is good because you are able to connect to Holden much more and know what he is thinking instead of just what he is doing.
I think it is better when the book is in 1st point of view. You know what the main character is thinking.

ReplyDeleteand walter and owais i completely disagree with what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that it is told in 1st person. You can see inside his head and his story seems more real, in a way.
ReplyDeleteI feel that is a good way of wrighting a book b/c it shows the view as the charecter and its not like talking about this person then on to the next
ReplyDeletei like that the book is written in 1st person. it gave Holden a chance to express his feelings about events in his life
