I bought an 8GB card first for my VIXIA Canon camcorder and it was not nearly enough so going with 2 16GB cards with Transcend was the better option and has worked out great. I have used them many times, delete/rewrite several times and transfer to my Macbook pro several times as well. Only once, I deleted the videos from camcorder but they didn’t clear the space so I formatted the card. No biggie. All good and I recommend this.
Jean Renoir s The
The Catcher in the Rye is a verbose and rather mundane monologue. The main character, Holden Caufield, is an immature 17-year-old of average intelligence, and we’re trapped listening to his inner ramblings for the entire book. He is constantly complaining, and the other characters in the book he interacts with dislike him for the most part.
The plot arc is just as mundane:
- To Holden, everything is either depressing or corny.
- He is kicked out of school for not applying himself.
- He blames the school for being ‘full of phonies’ (p.90) for his failure.
- He goes to New York for a few days.
- He calls a bunch of people who either don’t want to hang out with him or regret it later.
- He goes home and hangs out with his sister.
Maybe this is stereotyping, but to me, depressed kids are usually highly intelligent. I kind of expected Holden to at least making interesting observations about the world around him.
Maybe this book was a classic in another era. To me, The Catcher in the Rye is utterly forgettable. Holden’s inner struggle to find his place, his way, or his meaning in the world, while noble, is uninteresting.
