The Importance of First Impressions Even though we have been taught by school teachers or society not to “judge a book by its cover” which means not to make judgments about an individual based on appearance‚ a research about first impressions at Harvard University concluded that we make an in-depth and long-lasting impression in a mere 2 seconds.

The Catcher in the Rye - ‘Holden Caufield is an Island’ John Donne’s quote‚ ‘No man is an island’ connects quite directly to Holden Caulfield in ‘The Catcher in the Rye.’ Holden’s character is very relative to themes such as isolation‚ loneliness and non-conformity.
