The Catcher in the Rye

Short Story

First of all, my name is Stradtaler; I am 18 years old, study in Pencey Prep. The rest of my personal stuffs are not a relevant thing to discuss. Today there was this important game, the last of the year, between Pencey and Saxon Hall. I watched the game until half time the game was quite boring so I left the field, anyway I would had to leave the match because I had to be ready for a date I had in that afternoon. So I run to my room, which was in Ossenburger Memorial Wing. There was a pretty cold weather and I was cold until I get to my room. In my room there where my roommate, Holden two years younger than me and with a special personality, and this bastard who lives next door, called Ackley. I didn´t likes Ackley, but for my luck I only said hello to Ackley, considering that he leaved immediately the room.

I was with alone with Holden in the room, I was preparing myself for the date, and he was just horsing around, he was quite irritating. Then suddenly I remember the composition I have to done for English. I wouldn´t have time to do it after the date, and I have to read for some pages of Social Studies for Monday, damn I had to do something, I cannot miss my date . Then I had this clever idea, how about asking Holden to do mi composition. I heard he was good at it, after all English was the only subject he passed.

So I asked Holden if he can do me a big favour doing this composition for me. I felt he wasn´t very enthusiastic to help me out. He answers "I might. I might not" to every question I asked him, damn how I hate that kind of answer, that’s the easy way to not get involved in a commitment. He asked me; anyway, what my composition has to be about. I told him that it has to be about anything descriptive, like a house, a room or something you lived in. As he didn´t give me a right away answer, I flattered him a little to make him want to write mi composition, but he continued saying he might do it or he might not do it, he was a bastard and selfish as hell, I didn´t like him, but I didn´t hate him too. It wasn´t like me relation with Ackley, I hate that sonuvabitch.  

Holden asked me who I was dating. I wasn´t in humour to continued talking to him, but as I need him to do mi composition I had to answer. Equally, I couldn´t said too much about her I had only meet her that day. Even though I knew a little about her, I knew she was familiar with Holden, she told me that when I meet her. I didn´t know how a girl like she can be familiar with Holden. Holden looked surprise, he asked me about her name. I told him her name was Jane Gallagher, without interest.

In the moment I said her name I saw excitement reflected in his eyes. Holden said that I was right. He told me quite enough things about her, but I wasn´t paying attention to what he was saying, none one seem interesting. The only I can remember now is that her stepfather used to go around the hole house naked with Jane around, that’s all I remember and I remember it because I found it funny. I was to concentrated fixing appearence to played attention to what Holden was saying. After telling me how they knew each other, he said that he was going down to say hello to her like ten times, he only said words and did nothing, it was very annoying. He was paranoiac about this girl; he asked me more details about the date what I planned to do with her, where I was taking her, etc.                                                                                                                  

After pretend I was listening to what he was saying, I was finally going to my date, before I leaved I told him again to do my composition, he didn´t answer he only asked me to give Jane his regards (A thing I forgot to do). I´m not feel like going into details of how my date was. So I guess I´m going to leave my story up to here.

Source A

Greenpeace is an international environmental protection organization that aims at seeking ways to stop pollution, protect the diversity of natural life and the atmosphere, and pursue a nuclear-free world.The origins of Greenpeace date back to 1971, when a group of Canadians and Americans formed a protesting team and tried, in a fishing boat, to stop the United States from carrying out nuclear tests in Amchitka, a tiny island off the West Coast of Alaska. They also wanted to record environments being damaged so that they could tell the world about them. Since then, ‘being at the site being destroyed’ has become an important way of Greenpeace to protest against environmental damage. Today, they deeply believe that despite the limitation of individual efforts, people can still make a difference.Greenpeace usually expresses its concerns and protests through the following ways: non-violent direct actions; negotiations with relevant authorities and international  treaty organizations; provision of environmental protection solutions and options through research; promotion of environmental technology and products development.To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept subsidies from any governments or corporations. 1-According to Source A, what is the major aim of the international environmental protection organization Greenpeace?   Greenpeace organizations major aims are to stop pollution, protect the diversity of natural life and the atmosphere, and pursue a nuclear-free world. 2-Why would environmental problems lead to the emergence of international organizations such as Greenpeace? Why can’t just one country handle the environmental problems? Because sometimes the goberments wants to do a proyect that  can be danger for the environmen, but in international terms it is not. 3-Why do you believe Greenpeace refuses to accept subsidies (money) from governments and corporations? Because they want to keep being a independent from the goverments. The United Nations peacekeepers are sent by the Security Council to help implement peace agreements, monitor ceasefire, patrol demilitarized zones, establish buffer zones between hostile parties, prevent wars, and settle disputes peacefully through negotiation. However, the success of peacekeeping ultimately relies on agreement and cooperation between the conflicting parties.The United Nations has no army of its own. Every peacekeeping action is supported by voluntary troops and facilities provided by member states. The cost is covered by its peacekeeping budgets. 1-How important is the U.N. peacekeeping force to regions with armed conflicts?  What does there success depend on? They help to implement peace agreements to finish the war. However the success of the peacekeepers depends of the cooperation between the conflicting parties. Source C On 11 December 1997, the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted in Kyoto, Japan. Its aim is to monitor greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the global greenhouse effect. Under the adopted principle of ‘shared but differential responsibilities’, advanced industrialized countries will have to take initiatives to reduce their level first.As the world’s largest coal consumption nation, the United States emits a quarter of the world’s total amount of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. In the past decade, the growth range of its emission has exceeded that of India, Africa and Latin America combined. However, in March 2001, President George W. Bush openly stated that the United States would not implement the Kyoto Protocol, as standards for improvement were not yet set in the Protocol for developing countries. It is a fact that  the Protocol contains regulations that could affect the US economy. 1-According to Source C, how does the international community propose to solve global environmental problems? Implementing the Kyoto Protocol, in the countries in the world. 2-As the world’s largest consumer of fuel coal, why does the United States refuse to implement the Kyoto Protocol? Because the Kyoto Protocol contains regulations that con afect US economy. 3-What difficulties do international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol face in trying to solve global problems? That th countries wants to earn more money and the Kyoto Protocol have some regulations that increase the produccion.
