I know someone just asked this question, so I’m sorry, but I want some help. I really want to go to a riding camp this summer (though I have a horse at home- you just get more riding in), but I want to go to one that has my level of riding (jumping 2’6″ or preferably more). Oh, and I want to have as much riding in a day as possible. Does anyone know of one near or in Pennsylvania? Thank you!
NEAR or IN PENNSYLVANIA? Not California, silly!
Ideas to improve an English project?
Posted by: | CommentsWe have to do this project for the Catcher in the Rye where we select a clip of a song which connects to a scene in the novel and explain why we connected that particular clip to that particular scene. Here is mine- any ideas on how to improve it? Anything at all helps! Thanks, J.G.
I feel that Blink 182’s song “What’s My Age Again” accurately portrays the mood of Holden towards the end of Chapter 17, when Sally rejects him after he shares his outlandish fantasy of them marrying and says she gives him “a royal pain in the ass.” (Salinger 133) More specifically, the clip from 1:46 to 2:02, which is the last verse of the song, seems to describe Holden’s mindset upon being “dumped” by Sally Hayes. The lyrics are as follows:
That’s about the time that she broke up with me (what’s my age again?)
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me, I’ll never wanna act my age
What’s my age again?
What’s my age again?
Holden was obviously taking himself too seriously when he suggested that they should “…drive up to Massachusetts and Vermont… stay in these cabin camps and… get married…” (Salinger 132) Upon Holden insulting her, which was done after her obvious rejection of the plan, she told Holden to “go away and leave her alone.” (Salinger 134) At his point, Holden realized how immature and foolish he was to have suggested it, and how he never really wanted to act his age. This also alludes to his immaturity as described earlier in the book, when he pointed out that he sometimes acts like he “was only about twelve” despite looking much older. (Salinger 9)
(The paragraphs are obviously indented on my real one.)

Help with English (The most visited national park…)?
Posted by: | CommentsThe most visited national park in the U.S., Great Smoky Mountains National Park encompasses some 800 square miles of protected forest along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. At the heart of it all is Gatlinburg, an ideal home base from which to explore the park’s hundreds of hiking trails, go river rafting, fishing, horseback riding, wildlife viewing or embark on numerous other outdoor adventures.
—————————————-
Question: At the heart of it all is Gatlinburg<< I do not understand this part. Can you explain in other words??
I am planning on visiting Puerto Rico this summer and spending four days there on vacation. I am looking forward to seeing beautiful places like Old San Juan, the beaches, the El Yunque rain forest, and seeing the culture. The real reason I am asking this question about language is perhaps the opposite of what you are thinking. The truth is that I have traveled and studied Spanish abroad in Mexico and Ecuador and really enjoy the Spanish language and Latin American culture. My real concern is whether or not PR will have so many english speaking people, especially in tourist areas, that I will miss out on the cultural experience and find few opportunities to practice the language. Perhaps this is not so and just sounds like a silly question–I mean, who wouldn’t appreciate your efforts to speak to them in their own language while visiting their homeland? However, I can remember as a language student in Mexico that if I went to a touristy area or on an organized tour it sometimes seemed like the guides, etc. wanted to speak to me in English even if I wanted to speak to them in Spanish. Fortunately, because I was enrolled in a language school and stayed with a host family these situations were the exception more than the rule and I normally had plenty of time to interact with locals in Spanish. However, in this trip to Puerto Rico I will be going just as a tourist, staying in a hotel, and probably taking organized tours. What do you recommend I do to get opportunities to see the “real” Puerto Rico and get to know some of the local people?
I am sorry this question is so long… :/
