...Holden Caulfield, the protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye, is a 16-year-old boy who is troubled, has been expelled from four schools, and is dealing with rejection. Rejection is one of the main causes of depression and social anxiety. Humans need companionship, love, and acceptance. “He sees that the world belongs to adults and it seems to him that they have filled it with phoniness, pretense, social compromise” (Seng 105). The plot is Holden’s quest for sympathy for his physical condition and for a place of peaceful refuge. Holden is denied this sympathy and refuge, therefore he breaks down (Alsen 7). In The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, Holden’s three important rejections lead to his breakdown. The blonde girl, Sally Hayes, and Carl Luce are three of the many important rejections in the novel. The blonde girl rejects Holden, and this is the beginning of his breakdown. The blonde girl is sitting next to Holden in the Lavender Room at the hotel he is staying at in New York. Holden buys her a drink because he thinks that she is good looking. Holden also asks her to dance. While they were dancing she exclaims, “I and my girl friends saw Peter Lorre last night. The movie actor. In person. He was buyin’ newspaper. He’s cute” (Salinger 71). The blonde girl is obviously looking for movie stars, not conversation. Holden calls her a moron and calls it a dumb remark. He is obviously annoyed and upset. Therefore, he feels as if he has been rejected. The fact that she isn’t...

...how Mark Twain and J.D. Salinger present the theme of rejection in extracts from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Catcher in the Rye. The extracts I have chosen see the central protagonists both rejecting society. In the extract from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck is discussing how Widow Douglas is trying to civilize him through educating him and dressing him in smart and respectable clothing. Huck rejects ‘civilized life’ and fears the rules and conformities of society. Likewise, in the extract from The Catcher in the Rye, Holden has been expelled from Pencey and gets the train to New York, where attempts to flirt with one of his classmate’s mothers. Here Holden also rejects the expected social norms. This is because he has been treated like a dissident and a disappointment for most of his life, but he functions under the attitude that the problem lies within the ‘phony’ society and their expectations of him. Rejection is an occurrence in both novels, however, the difference being Huck was brought up with no education, no understanding of social standards and no rules imposed on him. Now he has been forced into a civilized life which he dreads. On the other hand, Holden has been educated and disciplined from a young age and he appears to be well behaved. However, later on in the novel we discover he pretends to be someone he not and very often breaks social norms. Both writers present the theme of rejection by aiming to portray a young man’s ‘journey’ through...

...Jacob Kleintz FYWT Christa DiMarco Research Paper A Culture of Rejection Graphic designer David Carson reflected the grunge culture of the 1990’s through his design of the first issue of the music magazine, Raygun which was published November of 1992. Grunge itself, has its roots in the new music that was emerging as America entered the 90’s. Much of the music shows a disenchantment with society and a sense of entrapment. In 1992, music critic Simon Reynolds said about teenagers in the 90’s, “…there’s a feeling of burnout in the culture at large. Kids are depressed about the future.” By the early 1990's a majority of young adults found the pop music of the time had become too dull and boring. Due to this fact teens turned to a more alternative sound. They found this sound to be produced by college radio and small time record label companies. (Benner). By the start of the 90’s grunge was not only moving to new areas but also began making their own music. Grunge musicians rejected expensive, highly staged performances; most would not use pyrotechnics or other complicated lighting and visual effects during their shows. Grunge ironically arose from a complete rejection of culture (Berman). Carson's style of typography experimentation influenced the development of the deconstructed style of design and a whole new era of designers. The experiments by Carson and other Ray Gun designers were chaotic, abstract and distinctive, but sometimes illegible. The magazine's radical subject...

..."Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody." In the novel the Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield is a young man who seeks the acceptance of others. In the novel, Holden Caulfield is guilty of often criticizing people for being “phony” but continues to interact with and seek guidance from them. There are many instances in the novel where the connections Holden makes do not end positively for him. Holden faces many rejections even though he is just looking for a friend. In J.D. Salinger’s the Catcher in the Rye, Holden reaches out to the nuns, Stradlater, and even a hooker to make a connection and feel accepted. Holden Caulfield’s interaction with the nuns is one of few that actually benefit him in some way. Holden first meets the nuns and helps them with their “cheap” suitcases. Holden gives them a generous donation and also wants to pay their bill, but they refuse to let him. “You’ve been more than generous,” she said . “You're a very sweet boy” (Salinger 125). After talking to the nuns, Holden feels accomplished. The nuns and Holden begin talking about Romeo and Juliet in a friendly manner, which he was not used to. After talking to the...

...The Reality of Rejection An innocent mother and child are killed by a thief for only a laptop and some jewelry. A man is battered in a dark alleyway for the change in his pocket. A fight between a meth abusing teenager and his dad ends in violence. What do these events have in common? They are crimes- reckless acts of malevolence-that no one could ever have any excuse or valid reason for; or could they? In the gothic thriller Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, themes of rejection, morality, and the human experience are explored through the woeful tale of Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation. Specifically, a poignant story of a created being experiencing abandonment from his creator-heavily influenced by biblical themes- emerges. This...

...Saul realized that the game “no longer brought joy to the game, no vision” (Wagamese 176). The culture and identity that Saul lost was made up with rage, aggression, and belligerence. Saul also brought his aggression and violence out of the game when he eventually moved to Manitouwadge, and began working in the mills. The aggressive behaviour showed in his work, whether it was hauling lumber or camping out. He worked to numb the loss of culture and identity from the constant hostility and rejection, such as he did earlier in his life with hockey. When Saul outburst and retaliated against an aggressive co-worker by choking him, Saul was “Frigid with blackness inside” (Wagamese 174). The blackness that he experienced was simply a result of the racism, discrimination, and segregation that Saul went...

...this memo is to update you on the quality issues we’re having at the Coachella packing house. Rejection costs are mounting due to the quality deficiencies not being addressed at this location. The costs can be boiled down to: Prevention, Appraisal and Failure Costs Let’s first start off with Prevention. There are too many choice peppers making it onto the packing line, which means they’re making it to the customer. The choice peppers should be diverted to the cull buyer and not make it into the packing house. A 2-3 hour grading refresher course for both the harvesting and packing house personnel will impact production for half a day, but the benefits will outweigh the cost and inconvenience of the down time. Aweta, the manufacturer of the processing line will be contacted to come out and re-calibrate the sorting line cameras and sizers. Costs incurred will be minimal, as this is part of the maintenance contract. And this can also be done in conjunction with the grading course refresher. Downtime will be minimal. The second cost center is Appraisal. Currently we only have two quality control inspectors, we need two more. Having two additional inspectors will allow us to have one dedicated inspector in the receiving bay. This inspector will be able to halt any suspect shipments before they even make it into the packing house. This will mitigate any future shipment rejections. The secondary inspector will be stationed in the staging area, prior to the filled cartons...

...Social exclusion is unequivocally more than poverty, but undoubtedly poverty is a key component of social exclusion. However social exclusion goes beyond other economic variables such as employment status or occupational class. Social rejection can be active or passive it occurs when an individual is deliberately excluded from a social relationship or social interaction for social rather than practical reasons.

...adolescents Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Social rejection happens when one individual is purposely excluded from social situations. This rejection can be performed by either an individual or group of people, and it can be active or passive in nature. Since 1990’s, when a whole slew of school shooting began to occur across the United States, there have been numerous studies, centred around social rejection. These studies have shown that this type of rejection can lead to variety of negative psychological effects on the sufferer, including aggression and withdrawal. Humans are social creatures, by nature, and rejection is always emotionally painful. Some rejection is normal in life, and just about everyone has experienced, or will experience, some sort of social exclusion during his lifetime. Repeating rejection can be malicious or otherwise; can have negative impact on a person. These rejections can be much more devastating for highly sensitive individual, or if fitting in with in a certain person or group is extremely important to the shunned person. Active social rejection can manifest itself in such form as bullying or teasing. Passive rejection, on the other hand, can be a bit harder to recognize, and it can include ignoring a certain individual and excluding him from certain activities. Although passive rejection may seem to be less cruel, it can have effects that are just as detrimental. Psychologists have over the years...

...immunosuppressant medications in post-renal transplant recipients, such as graft rejection. Identified some barriers to compliance and discussed how patient-centered nursing interventions should be used to alleviate these barriers and bring about compliance with immunosuppressant medications, at the same time decreasing graft rejection in renal transplant recipients. Renal Transplant and Medication Compliance: Patient-centered Nursing Interventions will Facilitate Better Patient Compliance of Medications in Post-Renal Transplant Recipients In medicine, the term non-compliance is commonly used in regard to a patient who does not take a prescribed medication or follow prescribed course treatments (MedicineNet, 2012). This is one of the major issues with post-renal transplantation recipients. Renal transplant is a surgery done to implant a healthy kidney into a person with end-stage renal disease. End-stage renal disease is when the kidney stops function all together, that makes the person unable to live without dialysis or transplant. “Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease (Theofilou, 2012). Life expectation is significantly improved among transplant patients compared with that of age-matched wait-listed patients on dialysis” (Theofilou, 2012). After renal transplant there can be many complications, the most common and major complication is graft rejection, this in many,...

For example: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ which help to draw attention of people who may not be seeing it regularly and it also promoted posts will give best results for forthcoming events and special promos. (Aggressive personality, move against from others) The Aggressive Personality Aggressive personalities move against other people. In their world, everyone is hostile; only the fittest and most cunning survive. Life is a jungle in which supremacy, strength, and ferocity are the paramount virtues. Although their motivation is the same as that of the compliant type, to alleviate basic anxiety, aggressive personalities never display fear of rejection. They act tough and domineering and have no regard for others. To achieve the control and superiority so vital to their lives, they must consistently perform at a high level. By excelling and receiving recognition, they find satisfaction in having their superiority affirmed by others. For example: Thums Up cola...
