Black Swan Green first chapters and two smaller stories :0 ( Blog # 1)

Black Swan Green

So i read The first chapter called January Man and it revolves around a kid named Jason Taylor and it takes place in england(kinda forgot) starts with some rule made from the Main characters father. The rule is that no one can go to the fathers office. This isn't a big deal, But Jason breaks this rule to stop a noise coming from the office and it turns out to be just a weird noise, a baby crying and something about sesame street(Maybe the father is cheating on his wife 0_0). He dismisses this and continue on to talk about his fathers office and what will await those if they go there. This part is very boring cause not many people want to know about some lame office. Jason hangs with his friend Dean Moran( nicknamed "Moran") and proceeds to hang out at a frozen lake. He finds other kids there and they all play british bull dog. They then stop and doing some random things( I forgot .-.) Jason returns home but before that he explores the woods and couldn't hold in his pee. He wrecks havoc on a frozen wall of a house(rumored to have a old lady live there) and even "signs his autograph" on it until a old lady confronts him. He stops and then goes home after some dialogue.His dad asked about who went into his office and Jason comes clean. he talks with his father and then decides to pay the frozen lake a visit. He finds Squelch( a friend i guess) who tricks with Jason since he managed to fool Jason that he had a weak cat where in reality it was dead. It was dead because Jason wanted to pet him and Squelch throws the cat his way and Jason confirms that the body was stiff and the cat was dead.This is pretty messed up to do to someone and it was kind of funny and a bit morbid. He finds a random guy at the lake and asks some questions(some were answered). Jason hurts his leg and the old lady from before finds him. Jason asks for help and the lady put him to sleep. He wakes up finding the lady dying and is wondering if he should help or not. This was all nice(except the boring intro) and two parts were funny.

 The End of a Beautiful Friendship

This is about the Brattle Theater on Harvard Square removing its Humphrey Bogart series with the 1942 classic Casablanca and the people didn't approve since they began to "chant the lines"(not sure what lines they chanted) and this became a cult object for one or two generations of cinephiles,particularly young men,for the next few decades. This itself is not as expected since Casablanca didn't really rank among the best of the best. This goes to show how much people enjoy Casablanca and how much they would do to try and get it back.

So Long, Holden

This is about a teacher who is surprised about the reactions of his students when he introduces them to The Cacher in the Rye since most students enjoy it and his new students found the book boring and unappealing. He doesn't understand why the students don't enjoy it and wonders why and thinks that it isn't "cool" enough for them and only "cool teachers like him are into the book nowadays since the popularity of the book has been declining. He is relieved near the end since a similar book was made named Black Swan Green.
