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.
