What Jiro means to me

Jiro to me is much more than just a guy who has a love and passion for sushi. He's really inspiring to someone like my self because I have the same love that Jiro has but instead of sushi its farming. The reason I say that is because no matter what the task is when I'm out working I want it to be done perfect. But I think that's just the mentality that not only I have but my dad and grandpa have when they do something to. So I can really relate and say if Jiro can make the best sushi in the world then I can be the best farmer, maybe not in the world but maybe one that people can respect and follow in my footsteps trying to be the best at what ever they love and want to be the best at. Therefore, whether you've found your love in something and know how I feel and can relate to someone like Jiro or not hopefully you do because it doesn't matter how young or old you are when you find that passion for something it's just something that needs to be experienced by all people.

Chapter 8 catcher in the rye

Holden walks to train station because it was to late to call a cab. He cleaned his bloody face up a little bit with some snow on the way to the station. He loved to ride the train because he could by a sandwich and some magazines that he could enjoy with out anyone see him. A lady got on the train at Trenton and sat down right next to Holden. She started a conversation with him by noticing his pencey sticker on his suitcase and saying her son when to pencey. She said his name was Ernest morrow and Holden thought of him as the biggest bastard in the history of pencey. Holden lied to her about his name saying he was rudolf Schmidt and talked about how much of a great kid Ernest was of course lying about everything he said. Holden liked the lady, the way she looked, talked, and just everything about her. Holden offers a cigarette to her and she takes it as they are smoking he asks her if she would like a drink in the club car but she says she shouldn't and it was probably closed anyway. Holden told her that he had to go home early be cause he had an operation removing a tumor on his brain. She got off at Newark wishing him luck with his operation and telling him to visit Ernest during the summer in Gloucester Massachusetts where they lived. Holden told her he would be in South Africa with his grandmother but thanked her anyway.

Ackley makes up all this stuff basically saying no to him but Holden lays on it anyway. After a while Holden leaves walking into the corridor deciding to leave pencey that night and getting a cheap hotel to stay at. So he goes back into his room packing his stuff up rapidly as stradlater never even wakes up. Holden goes to Frederick woodruff who he had lent his typewriter to selling it to him for twenty dollars. On the way out of the dorm building Holden yells sleep tight you morons.

He asks stradlater if he told Jane hello for him and he said yes but didn't say anything about how she keeped her kings. Holden asked what they did and he said they sat in banky's the whole night, Holden knowing that stradlater likes to hook up with girls just sex with no feelings for them, asks if they did anything and he responds saying that's a professional secret. That real made him made throwing a punch at stradlater with his bad hand missing hitting the back of his head. Stradlater jumps on Holden pinning him down with his knees but he keeps aggravating stradlater until he hits Holden right in the face making him start bleeding out of his nose letting him up. Stradlater gets a little scared telling Holden he needs to go down to the can and wash his face off from all the blood. Holden still mad just keeps talking back to him until stradlater leaves the room.

Chapter 5 catcher in the rye

Holden talks how on every Saturday the whole school has steak. And he talks about how horrible it was from the mashed potatoes not being mashed to the steaks being to tough to chew. The only reason the school had steak was because most of the kids parents came on Sunday and made the school sound good if they had steak the night before. After everyone finishs Holden, his friend Mal brossard, and Ackley went into town and got some hamburgers to eat since they had nothing else to do that night. So they went back to pencey and went back to there rooms Ackley going into Holden's room as he always does. Holden kicks him out and tells him he has to write stradlaters composition. He writes about his brothers baseball mit how he had all these poems written on it to read when someone wasn't up to bat. His brother died from leukemia when he was a kid. Holden finishs and talks about how he could hear Ackley snoring because he had sinus problems on top of the bad acne, slimy teeth, and crummy fingernails.
