Finding Forrester

Agoraphobia:
*An anxiety disorder that is characterized by fear and avoidance of places from which escape might be difficult. *A type of anxiety disorder related to fear, because of the fear the individual avoids the place or situation where they may have a panic attack.
William Forester had locked himself up in his house to avoid public and/or unfamiliar places, this shows that he was actually suffering from AGORAPHOBIA.


similarities between J.D Salinger and William Forrester


Salinger's first novel, The Catcher in the Rye, became immediately a Book-of-the-Month Club selection and won huge international acclaim. Salinger did not do much to help publicity, and asked that his photograph should not be used in connection with the book.

From the late 60's he has avoided publicity. Journalists have assumed that because he doesn't give interviews, he has something to hide. Just like William forester, he wrote a novel, "Avalon Landing" and vanished.People thought he had committed a murdered.

Just like forester, Salinger’s novel also became a best-seller and remains a favorite of high school and college students.

*Shooting An Elephant*

Burmese people hated the Europeans because they felt oppressed by the Britishers and thought British Raj was a unbreakable tyranny.
Burmese people also thought elephant was their enemy because it destroyed somebody's Bamboo hut and killed a man.
They had no weapons and felt quiet helpless about it.
Burmese were elephant's enemy as they were very excited to shoot the elephant and they were interested in the meat.
George Orwell thought elephant was his enemy beacuse when he shot the soul thought in his mind was that if the elephant aatcked him he will be reduded to a grinning corpes like that black Dravidian coolie, who was attacked by the elephant.

*me=my mom*


*trinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggg*

(I feel like throwing the clock away and going back to sleep)

1st thought: Third roza, not bad, 27 more to go~

Ah, its 5:00, I should get up now, before Alina comes in and screams,” MOM!, Get up, I don’t want to miss my roza.”
Ohh..Just in time, she’s here.

Anyway what should I make today? Asking this question from her is of no use, she will obviously recommend something useless.

I wonder what everybody will eat, especially Alina and Sana, God, why are they so choosy!

oh, time is passing by, I need to hurry up. I should wake up everyone.

I'm done with everything even though Alina was continuously irritating me and they are still sleeping!!
I doubt they will get up on time someday.

Even their father act like a child in this matter. Sometimes he makes me feel as if I have six children.

oppss...tea, I forgot to make the tea.
Phew! Atlas they are up, I hope they eat whatever I made happily, they have to do that, otherwise "No Roza"!


Ah!


Thank God everything went well:)
