Chapter 4/5: "JANE"

Houlden has friends that he judge a lot and they ask him a lot of things that make me think he is kind of submitted of them like when Stradlater asks him to do his homework for can go out. "I got about hundred pages to read for history for Monday" "How 'bout writing a composition for me, for Enghlish? I'll be up the creek if i don't get the goddam thing in by Monday, the reason I ask. How 'bout it?" #p28. Things will change when i learned that the reason why Stradlater's asking is because he has a date. But not any date. Houlden knows this girl and it doesn't seems like he likes her as friend but more as love. He gets so excited about it when he talks about her, he ask a ton of questions about where she is? how is she? But he is too nervous for go talk to her face to face. It's funny to see how the lazy men can change in a minute when he learnd something. And i think that he could use that for all the time because he seems be annoy of what is happening with school and act like he doesn't care, like he cannot do anything to his life but when he learned about Jane his attitude change complitely like if he wants to be a better personne. He cares more and listen more.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK

Is Houlden is moving ?
Is he in boarding school?
Is Houlden's brother died?

Second post: How do i feel about Houlden

I will say i feel kind of bad for him but i lived that last year cause i was a real smoker and i know how it's hard telling you "i stop". So i kind of empathize with him but he seems be really influenced and i think that old spencer help him a lot about that what is a good thing because i think that in life you need help for go ahead. I think Houlden is a lazy guy but who didn't really find himself yet. I mean like he can't stop lying and can't do good as school enought but he is a really smart kid. I think it comes from the family cause his brother was a really good student and did good in his life so it's kind of hard for him who doesn't do good, be kick up a lot. He doesn't have a real relationship with his parents cause they don't care anymore on what he is doing and i think this is affect him in his own life, own dreams.

First post: Houlden and Old Spencer

Houlden is a teeanager like every teanager. he smoke and seems like do what cool people do. He has been kiqu from school a lot of times cause of his grades and i think that now he doesn't believe in himself enought and thinks he can't do right things. but houlden is a really smart boy cause helikes read a lot and his friends ask him to do there homework so i kind of ask me why doesn't he have good grades at school. I think this is because of some missing from his parents who dont seems be really attentives on what he is doing because of his journey at schools. Houlden is really near from his history teacher who try to help him with school but Houlden doesn't really listen even if he still likes this teacher. i think it's because any teacher like him because of his grades and his pass with smoking and stof so to be understand from one teacher, being invited at his own home it means a good relationship between them. I liked the first chapters because i like how the book describ houlden like how lazy he is and how he try to be like his teacher. the book is really hard to understand but we can figurate out his reactions and his fellings. Houlden shows kind of the teanagers in real life with is influence with smoking and his friends that he cheer a lot.



Old Spencer is Houlden's history teacher. this caractery is really nice cause he try to help his student to do and be better at school and in his own life. he cares a lot of houlden like a father that i think houlden appreciate cause he doesn't really have good relationship with his parents because of his travel. He listen him and talk normaly not like teacher/student but more as best friend. The problem with Houlden is that he lies a lot i think because he is scared of showing his fellings. The relationship between them is really nice too because Mr Spencer let him come at his own home and just that Houlden cares on spencer's health means that houlden understands that spencer helps him and is grateful and tanksful. Houlden seems be sad to leave him when he's telling him good bye but it's weird that i lied for leave the house while he just could say the truth, the old men wouldn't say anything.

Poème

Where i comme from?
Well just a country to the east.
It's not vert big
But it's here that my life began.
Where do I come from it's a cadence of cuisine and tradition.
The country where I come from it's an explosion of élégance.
Sometimes it's beautiful,
Sometimes it's horrible
But even If I'm gone,
I like m'y country where I come from.

Where Icome from?
I come from a dream.
One dream United States's movies and history is filled whith
Deep in m'y country of orrigin, I dreamed of going to this wonderful country.
One day the dream came true
And started a new story.
