Catcher In The Rye Kings In The Back
1,800 wordsThe Catcher and the Rye is not the kind of story with a meaningful story line, that is, knowing only that would indicate little on what it is about. The events told in the story, seem to unfold as flashbacks.

Be what may, here is what was perceived as the story line. Holden Caufield was telling his story (to the readers, or to some peop...

Gallagher And Lundin Literary Analysis Literature
728 wordsI love God. With my entire heart I burn for him. As a freshman in high school He called me, not with words or anything audible, but by his mere presence; a holy desire within my spirit that wants to love his people, and bring them into a romantic love-relationship with Him. The calling was as a whisper at first, just a small urge, almost a whim, but now it has grown into a war cry that rages in my soul.
