Hello everybody!

Interesting :) . One of her decisions affects us all: her keeping
Seymour's poems. Has his death moved her to a new sensitivity? If so, is
that a great, sacrificial victory for Seymour or just means that her
life was ruined?
Zooey said he was the only one who had forgiven Seymour. That is, among
the Glasses; but has Muriel forgiven him? Does she feel guilty? Brendan,
you think Muriel has a strong personality, I remember. What (if it's
worth thinking at all) would she look like as a widow?
Just an anecdote now.
A bunch of friends rented yesterday some films to see chez moi among
which there was one titled "I saw what you did" (please, avoid it . I
was surprised to find in one of the opening scenes a classroom with
Catcher on the desk (a red hardcover with golden letters), whose owner,
a very popular blonde, was snoring audibly. That was the End for me.
Since that moment, I was cheering the killer: "Go get that girl, man!".
I readily assumed that the director considered not reading Catcher a
good reason to be slaughtered :) . I didn't stay after that, the others
expelled me. And made me a great favor, I reckon.
Anyway, the teacher was asking what they thought Holden expected Sally
to tell him when he attempted to call her. Good question...
Farewell, everybody!
