6. Holden is reclusive by nature but enjoys talking with his kid sister, Phoebe: ?But I certainly wouldn?t have minded shooting the crap with old Phoebe for a while. You should see her. You never saw a little kid so pretty and smart in your whole life.? (67).
7. ?You know those ducks in that lagoon right near Central Park South? That little lake?? Holden asks a taxi driver, ?By any chance, do you happen to know where they go, the ducks, when it gets frozen over? Do you happen to know, by any chance?? (60).
8. ?Grand. There?s a word I really hate,? Holden gripes repeatedly throughout the book, ?It?s a phony. I could puke everytime I hear it.? (9).
9. Holden feels his parents are ?phony slob and becomes disappointed when he hears them described as grand. He claims the word ?grand? can make him ?puke everytime [he] hear it.? (3).
10. Holden ?enjoyed talking to them a lot? (112) because they would do what was right in their hearts and in the eyes of the Lord.
We're doing quote blending in my English class and my stupid pregnant teacher basically tells us, "Your quotes suck" gives us this Writers Inc. book which has 1 paragraph about blending quotes (nothing that we didn't already know) and then yell at us because we only accomplished so much during the period. So, I know a lot of you guys are smarter than me. Are there any blatent errors that I'm missing that will make my teacher say something like, "RAWRZ! YOU GUYS ARE STUPID, I'LL EAT YOUR BABIES!!!!!!"?
