    Place Darwin • Mr. Crabbe first regards Darwin with suspicion as ‘A city of booze‚ blow‚ and blasphemy’ (p.9). • Paul’s initial reaction is much more positive: ‘I loved the town of booze and blow at first sight’ (p.9). • Every thing in Darwin is different. “An unnatural greenness‚ as if the leaves were a kind of plastic. Huge parrots yattered in the dripping fruit trees. Butterflies of brilliant colours – bright rainbow colours‚ chemistry set colours‚ coffee-table book colours-filled the air”(p

    Catcher in the Rye chapters 1-18 Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger has intrigued me. I love the way the author writes.

There are many aspects of this book that I truly enjoy. The complex

I watched the coast. Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. Analogy comparing the coast slipping by the ship to a mystery.

It is summed up in a single word – Man.” This shows the feeling towards humans from the point of the animals. 37 “’Comrade’‚ said Snowball‚ ‘those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery
