"I believe that if the incoming freshman class read—or reread The Catcher in the Rye, they would gain a better sense of self, and they would benefit from knowing that they’re joined in their mindset by at least one other great character, that character being Holden Caulfield—the timeless embodiment of teenage yearning and angst."

If it is, how do I fix it? Thanks!

I think you don't count the 2nd -a as a short -a because it sounds more like an -i.

I have to list spelling words under Long Vowel or Short Vowel and I don't know where to put 'bandage'. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'm trying to make some sort of weight scale or balance for a science project. How do I do this? A site with instructions would help. I don't need any numbers or precise measurements. I just need to show which is heavier than the other. Thanks!
