...This case is an example of revenue recognition for extended warranty contracts. The parties involved are Crazy Computers (CC), a third-party insurance company (TPI), and a wholly owned captive insurance company (CIC). The problem in this case is whether or not Crazy Computers should recognize commission revenue at the time of sale of the extended warranty contract if CIC reinsures the contracts with TPI. The FASB authoritative standard that applies to this case is ASC 605-45 (Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations). In this case the question is whether the revenue should be reported as gross or net of the sale. Gross would be the amount the customer paid. Net would be the amount the customer paid less the amount paid to a supplier (TPI). The net amount is considered a commission or fee to the entity acting as an agent (ASC 605-45-45-1). The next thing to look at in this scenario is who is the primary obligor in the agreement. That is, who has the legal obligation to assume risks and rewards from the extended warranty contract. If the entity (CC) is the primary obligor, they assume the obligation of the warranty contract and should record revenue gross of the amount billed to the customer (ASC 605-45-45-4). If the entity’s supplier (TPI) is the primary obligor, they assume the obligation of warranty fulfillment and the entity (CC) should record revenue net of the amount billed to customers less the amount paid to the supplier (TPI) (ASC 605-45-45-16). The amount...

...Mr. K. McGuire ENG 4U1 30 May 2012 King Lear vs. Holden Caulfield Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear revolves around his decision to give away the kingdom to his three daughters which marked the beginning of chaotic and uncontrollable consequences. In the middle of the play, Lear went mad and lost everything. On the other hand, the novel, The Catcher in the Rye is about a boy named Holden Caufield. He does not care about school at all and got kicked out. He ended up running away from school early because of a quarrel between him and his roommate name Stradlater about a girl that he had feelings for. He then lived on the streets and met new and old friends until the day that he is supposed to return home. But there were problems and he went to sneak home early to visit his little sister Phoebe. Throughout the story, he tries to fit in but instead feels alienated and alone. Despite the differences in settings and story lines, both of these characters are similar to each other in many ways. Despite the differences in the time periods, King Lear and The Catcher of the Rye both display similar qualities which include their poor decisions, experienced major downfalls and lost of their psychological sanity. Both King Lear and The Catcher of the Rye illustrate their own terms of insanity which compliments the two as the major theme. In chapter 25 of The Catcher of the Rye, each time Holden crosses a street, he felt like he would disappear, therefore every time he reached...

...Holden Caulfield's “Catcher in the Rye” Fantasy Growing up, we have all experienced a particular desire to achieve something; an ambitious state of mind that gives us meaning to life. Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, has a primary ambition - to become the Catcher in the Rye – the protector of the young and innocent, as stated in his conversation with Phoebe (Salinger, 191). Completely imaginary and a hopeless fantasy, this passage underscores what is prevalent throughout the novel - the issue of Holden's black and white perspective on the dark, phony world of adulthood juxtaposed with the light, innocent, world of childhood. The important passage contributes to Holden's clinical depression as a result of his beloved brother's death, therefore his cynical view of adulthood, and his anxiety about growing up, resulting in the overall angst and alienation palpable throughout the novel, leading to his eventual catharsis. Holden's imagery of “catching” children playing in a field of rye before they fall off a cliff is unrealistic, misheard from a little boy, and it serves merely as an escape route from what he fears most about adulthood – the change and overwhelming complexity. Holden wants everything to be easily understandable and eternally fixed, similar to the Eskimos and Indians in the museum. Opposed to acknowledging that adulthood scares and mystifies him, Holden instead invents a fantasy – that childhood is an idyllic field of rye, while...

...The Catcher in the Rye, a novel written by J.D Salinger, is about a sixteen-year-old boy named Holden Caulfield who is troubled and misunderstood. He is critical and skeptical about the world he lives in, and only respects his deceased brother, Allie, and his younger sister, Phoebe, because of their innocence. Phoebe isn't “phony” like everybody else is to Holden, and because of this he truly admires and trusts her with his inner thoughts. In a way, Holden and Phoebe are each other's heroes without even knowing it. Holden yearns to live in a world that is genuine, and it's clear that Holden is fighting a psychological battle within himself, which makes depression and conflict major themes throughout this novel. Salinger's novel is extremely controversial because of the teenage angst displayed and the language used by Holden, but it is an accurate look inside the mind of someone who feels alienated. The literary critic, Michicku Kakutani, mentions that Salinger gave Holden “a voice that enabled him to channel an alienated 16-year-old's thoughts and anxieties and frustrations, a voice that skeptically appraised the world and denounced its phonies and hypocrites and bores.” Holden fails out of school and goes to New York where he interacts with people, but he thinks they are all phony, so he spends a lot of time feeling like a failure. Past events that occurred in Holden's life definitely make him judgmental, such as when his former English teacher, Mr. Antonlini, pats him on...

This source is the actual book The Catcher in the Rye which was written by J.D. Salinger. He writes of a boy, Holden Caulfield, the narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is a troubled teenager who switches between having a pompous attitude and feeling as if he is superior to others and then being aware of being alienated from his peers, to beginning to protect his innocence and that of other people. He begins to isolate himself from others because he doesn’t want to get hurt after losing a little brother, Allie. Other students looked down upon him and that is why he has possibly developed a dislike for other people. At first his isolation is more negative than positive. Holden is kicked out of the third school due to having poor grades. After being kicked out of school, he goes on a journey filled with various incidents that cause him to make grown up decisions. The story is narrated in first-person by Holden from a psychiatric hospital where Holden is for treatment. A quotation I will be using in the book is “I am always saying ‘Glad to've met you’ to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though” (Salinger 87). Madrigal 2 “Catcher in the Rye the Alienation of Holden Caulfield” Humanities 360 Print. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Nov. 2014.

...The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, like many other great works, was met by scornful criticism and unyielding admiration. However, many literary critics also admired Salinger's use of language, which is used to make Holden Caulfield, the protagonist, extremely realistic. Such language includes repetition of phrases, blatant cursing, and bold statements in order to capture the informal speech of the average, northern American adolescent. Through Holden's thoughts and dialogues, Salinger successfully created a teenage boy that changed the literary world. The language used in The Catcher in the Rye has long been a topic of controversy to literary critics. Holden Caulfield's thoughts and comments serve to deepen his personality and to provide entertainment. Salinger wants to create a typical teenager while keeping Holden as an individual at the same time. Like most teenagers, Holden speaks in trite sentences. However, he also uses words in places that were then uncommon. Holden often leaves his sentences dangling with words like "and all" and "or anything." Salinger intentionally used such speech repetition to individualize Holden, and, at the same time, make him a believable teenager of the early 1950s. Moreover, Holden has other expressions that appear consistently throughout the novel. In some places, the expressions only serve to make Holden more realistic, while in other places Holden is trying to reinforce his values. Holden repeatedly comments on his hatred towards...

...Holden Caulfield: Protector of Innocence The novel The Catcher in the Rye is a coming of age tale of a teenager’s journey into a mental breakdown. The main character, Holden Caulfield, sees the world as an extremely phony, cynical place that he wishes to escape from. As a result of this, he forms the idea that the only way to be free of the hypocrisy and cynicism of society is to maintain one’s childlike immaturity and innocence. Because of this idea, throughout the novel, Holden is trying desperately to hold on the shreds of innocence that he has left, all while trying to protect the innocence of those around him as well. Two minor characters mentioned in the novel that Holden tries to protect, Sunny and Phoebe, both display to the reader signs of developing maturity. Holden’s interactions with both Sunny and Phoebe provide prime examples of how even though Holden tries desperately to protect their innocence, growing up cannot be prevented. One of Holden’s most prominent traits throughout the novel is that he is has this urgent need to protect the people around him from losing their innocence like he did when his brother passed. Even though he constantly drinks, smokes, and curses, Holden’s main goal throughout the text is to make sure that innocence is maintained as long as possible before a person grows up and matures. “He struggles to preserve his own tenuous hold on youthful innocence-or as he sometimes puts it, ‘niceness’-and despairs when he finds that innocence lost...

...Throughout history, authors have tried to convey the emotions felt by characters facing the transition from adolescence to adulthood. In The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger communicates the conflicting emotions present during Holden Caulfield's journey into adulthood, reflected by his cynical attitude towards the adult world and his idealistic perspective of the innocence of youth. One of the prevalent themes of Holden's journey to adulthood is his cynical attitude toward the adult world. In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden says, "You ought to go to a boy's school sometime. Try it sometime. It's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddamn Cadillac someday, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn if the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddamn cliques" (Salinger 170). Holden feels as though the only point of going to school is to become smart enough to buy a nice car and be able to have a family of his own. He also is convinced that the majority of adolescent boys are phonies, who will continue to be phonies once they enter into the corrupt adult world. In Stanford Pinsker's book The Catcher in the Rye: Innocence Under Pressure, he furthers the idea of Holden's cynical attitude. Pinsker writes that Holden is trying to, "cling to a vision of a prelapsarian world, one without 'falls' and without...

... “I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It’s awful.”, The catcher in the rye is a novel based on a boy named Holden Caulfield which he is afraid of adulthood written by J.D Salinger. Holden feels that all adults are phonies. As well as the teenagers his age that pretend to be adults or mature turn out to be phonies as they grow up. Also they feel they have to be a certain way to be portrayed as an adult. Caulfield is portrayed as a kid to most people, he is constantly told to grow up. From being kicked out of Pency to sleeping from hotel to hotel he discovers himself continuously having the feeling of being lonely. Furthermore, Caulfield holds all of his feelings in to where he needs to talk to someone about it. Holden is going through the stage every teenager goes through. When Holden says, “I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden I almost wished I was dead.”.This reminded me to today's society because there are many teenagers that just need someone to talk to or even just express how they feel or are to someone who will hear them out and not judge them or portray them differently after hearing them out. This story is relevant to today's society because many teens probably feel as holden does, And some people are afraid of adulthood and the reality of it all. Comparatively, Holden Caulfield portrays some of his old friends and teachers as phonies. As to when he sees or gets back in touch with some of his old friends, he wants to talk about how he feels, but he doesn’t...

...Many teens nowadays are facing depression. In the book Catcher in the Rye the author J.D. Salinger explores loneliness and depression in a troubled boy who does not want to grow up. Holden often admits his loneliness and finds out he has some emotions left. He chooses to protect himself and reduce his pain. For example, whenever he thought about calling up a girl he gives himself many reasons why he should not contact her so he doesn’t get hurt in the end. He tries so hard to protect himself by shutting things out that could potentially hurt him. Holden Caulfield the protagonist isolates himself, has many fears, especially about growing up, and can’t connect well with people. Holden isolates himself from his society. Holden then becomes very lonely because he has no friends or family to turn to. Holden's little brother Allie died in the past and that is when Holden got really depressed. It filled him with sadness so he isolated himself from his family and surroundings, which made a gap between him and his family. It seemed as if he could potentially be jealous of Allie because he didn’t have to go through the pain of growing up. Holden hoped if he isolated himself from society, he could prevent himself from growing up. When he does that he is also trying to protect himself and that makes him lonely. For example in the book Holden went to New York Holden said “I got a cab outside the hotel, but I didn't have anywhere to go.” (Salinger 107) Another example of when...

...In the novel, The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D Salinger, the main character Holden is a seventeen year old boy who loathes the thought of adolescence and maturity. Holden believes that any prep school contains “phonies” or artificial people who are controlled by adults and society.

The thoughts of his brother help Holden express to the readers how Allie’s death has led him to moments in his life where he feels completely hopeless.

The mitt helped him remember the times he spent with Allie and all the astounding memories they shared. In the book, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield finds it difficult to let go of the past and so he holds onto the one object that relieves him from his emotional states. In literature, a symbol represents something of a deeper meaning. There are many varieties of literary symbols throughout the novel.
