Criticism Post

Well, sorry guys because i did not finish reading the the criticism because it did get a really boring and long. Also, i wanted to read a criticism on our story that we read. Well, maybe we should discuss some things that we read about our story and also discuss some vocabulary words that really troubled us when we were reading. Just send me the words on the docs and I will look them up. Anyway, get at me later on the blogger.

yo. I didn't finish the never ending Salinger critisiscm paper because its the lonest thing Ive ever attempted reading. Its pretty high level reading but I understood most of it...okay not most of it but some of it. The first sentence of the article says '' No writer of recent years has captured the New Yorker market of Conneticut emigres the way J.D. Salinger has. Doesnt really seem like anyones dissing him but you never know. So I kept reading. I then starts to talk about the characters in his stories and how he ''crystalizes'' them. It talks about a whole bunch of other stuff that Salinger has done.

Greetings group. I have just completed the story. After reading and interperting the story, I realized that this story is muck of anything. Like I said in my comment its about a man that is conversating with a woman named Esme in a cafe of some sort. I think Salinger was in a kind of tired or gloomy mood while he wrote this excerpt. Why? Was this man like this? I do not know.

Hey guys,
I still haven't finished reading the story but as fas as I have gone, it is very gloomy. I guess I am halfway through but im wondering what salinger was thinking when he wrote the story...

I realy didnt get the story all i know is it is about a nervous break down

For Esme - with Love and Squalor

Hello Group,
The story that we read really lost my interest just because it is not my style. I know that I should have put more effort into my reading but, i didn't attempt that at all. As the Vocabulary Queen (jk) anyway, I did get a lot of words that may seem hard to me but, that are very understandable. When you have time go and look at the words and add any more words that you feel that are hard to you. I will be back in a few to give you a more critical response.

this is a great blog good job benezir
