I'm someone that wants to be exposed to the world and people without showing too much of myself. I always avoid the opportunity to show my true self. However, the ironic thing about me is that I don't even know my true self yet. Not only do I avoid opportunities, I also avoid myself. I'm someone that closes and seals like a vault when a door opens. In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, I relate to the ducks and the fish in the lagoon that Holden questions about during the winter. My similarity to the ducks and fish are because of the ducks and fish's symbolism. The ducks fly away from the lagoon during the winter while the fish stay under the water. Similarly to the ducks, I want to escape my environment and problems. Unfortunately, I end up getting stuck and staying in my environment.
O M G this blog is really good I like it a lot. when I read it I could relate so much to it. I like how you referred to the book "The catcher and the Rye" I love that book. Just like you I also don't know my true self yet.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog. I really enjoyed your comparison between yourself and the characters in "The Catcher in the Rye". Your blog reminded me of myself, because sometimes I like to "block" things out and avoid certain things and in doing so, I still don't completely know myself.
ReplyDeleteKayla, this is a great comparison to a passage in one of my favorite books. Thanks for the realistic yet figurative self-portait...I just pictured you as half duck/half fish!
ReplyDeleteI can relate Kayla, like me I don't even know myself but don't worry one day we will know our identity.
