Catcher In The Rye: Childhood Innocence - What Holden Never Had
.... she [Phoebe] ever told me to shut up. It sounded
terrible. God, it sounded terrible. It sounded worse than swearing." There
is one more outstanding quotation from the novel which is found on page two
hundred and thirteen. "I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old
Phoebe was going around and around [the carousel]." All these examples
clearly show that Holden appreciated "childhood innocence" to a great
extent. Yet Holden acts the opposite.
The irony in this novel is Holden's behavior, which i .....

David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
.... love, hate, will, desire and so on. His
argument to this is that, he says, take a blind or deaf man that has been
blind or deaf since birth. They cannot picture color or sound, though they
have the natural capacities for such. They simply lack the necessary
"impression" of sound or color, as so they can visualize and manipulate
these concepts with their imaginations.
These all seem like good philosophical argumentation, and are
highly convincing, except for one seemingly overlooked flaw. Later .....

weakness. Fortune controls half of human's actions, and man's will control
the other half. Virtue is the best defense for fortune, and virtue must be
used in order to keep fortune in check. The prince must take advantage of
situations based solely on if it is best for the state. He should choose
his decisions based on contemporary and historical examples. A prince

Summary Of Terkel's My American Century
.... hostility
toward someone- that someone happened to be blacks.
The reading doesn't really concentrate on all of the things he did
as a Klan member, except to say that he did particularly “hate” one of the
black people in town more than most-Ann Atwater. He claimed to hate her
specifically because every time he went into town, she was leading some
kind of demonstration. I didn't think she would really be all that
important to the rest of the story, but in my eyes she's the most important.
To make a lo .....
