American students, do you really enjoy studying northen-american literature? So far I've read "The Catcher in the Rye" and I'm almost done with "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", and I honestly believe that american characters are much more relatable with the brazillian ones. I mean, I totally respect Machado de Assis and I recognize the importance of José de Alencar to our literature, but honestly, Holden Caulfield and Tom Sawyer are much more interesting than Brás Cubas and Iracema...
They are partnered in art class together!! Stupid chuldren
My custom made Holden Caufield plushie/doll. What do you think? 🚬🎠
(from "Social Animals")
What's the most depressing is
To hear hopeful words
From their feigned concern;
If they don't see with their own eyes
They never believe or even
Imagine something in you
And if you hurry to dance
To their tune to shut their mouths
They eventually fail to contain
Their sincerity, just burst into a laugh.
okay here me out but no sane person would search "catcher in the rye merch" up for their Christmas list....

RIP holden caulfield you would have loved bo burnham
You'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them — if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.
'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger
And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.
