Hi all,

I completed my SSC in 1997 from Andhra Pradesh. I wanted to change my name in the SSC marks list...is it possible now?

It is written on marks list "No changes will be entertained after 3 years". Any change in rules since then?...Otherwise should I need to change all my other certificates?

Thailand's Transport Minsiter has admitted that some airlines were afraid to use Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport after several flights scheduled to land were diverted to another airport, reported yesterday.
Debris was found on a runway and the diversions came amid rising concern about the condition of taxiways on which scores of cracks have been found.
"This has started to affect the country's image and some airlines are afraid to use Suvarnabhumi due to safety fears," said Transport Minsiter Theera Haocharoen as she inspected the affected taxiways.
This Nation said this was the first time an official had publicly acknowledged the problem of the damaged taxiways.
Since opening last September, the airport has been dogged by operational problem including a faulty baggage handling system and slow check-in services.

at grade 9 the student decides....college or techical skills. at that point the courses are designed to suit the needs of the student, college prep, or pursuit and exposure to an industry/field of the students choice.....lets say there are 7 from which to choose. all students are still required to take standard courses, but electives consist of courses that expose them to fields of their choice or to classes that prepare them for college..........

The Catcher in the Rye


In the novel “The Catcher in the Rye”, by J.D. Salinger. Jerome David Salinger was born on January 1, 1919. J.D. Salinger was an American author best known for the novel The Catcher in the Rye, a classic novel that was popular in 1951. If the novel would be summarized in one or two sentences it would be that a confused boy who travels to see the realities of life. The main character, Holden Caulfield, is an antagonist. The reader can quickly arrive at the conclusion by noting that Holden is a compulsive liar, often thought negatively, had no faith in god and he swore a lot. In the following paragraphs this essay is going to talk about how he lied a lot, how he dumped his problem on his sister phoebe and how he ordered a prostitute. In each one the paragraphs it will also include why it will prevent him from being a good person.


In the novel one can see that Holden was the antagonist because he lied a lot. Later he actually admitted that he was a liar stating, “I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. If I’m on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and someone asks me where I’m going, I’m liable to say I’m going to the opera”. (pg 16) In this quote he admits that he is a liar and that he is proud of it too. This prevents Holden from being a good person because a good person wouldn’t lie, a good person would be a hero and one would always be honest no matter what. A hero is a person that does good deeds and prevents bad deeds from happening and also saving the world from.


Another of Holden’s antagonistic behaviors occurs when he tell his sister phoebe about topics what she should not know about at her age. Phoebe was ten years old and Holden was sixteen years old at that time and still he didn’t hesitate to tell her how miserable his life was. Holden stated that “even the couple of nice teachers on the faculty, they were phonies, too,”… (pg 168) This will affect her when she goes to school, she will believe that the school has phonies. She will also believe that the nice teachers are phonies too. Holden as her older brother told her that when she was younger. This quote means that the school is a bad place and you shouldn’t trust people especially teachers. The reason it prevents him from being a good person is because a good person wouldn’t want to tell the harsh realties of life to a young child, especially at the age of 10 years old.








Finally, Holden can be deemed an antagonist because he orders a prostitute. The following passage from the novel best supports this, “okay, I’ll send a girl up in fifteen minutes” and “hey, is she good looking?” I asked him. “I don’t want any old bag”. (pg 91) This quote means that he was ordering a prostitute and was waiting until she showed up in his room. Holden indulge himself in the company of prostitutes and he is picky too. He’s interested in good looking girls and won’t waste money on any old bags. This would prevent him from being a good person because a good person with a good heart and intensions would not order a prostitute.

This essay based in the novel “The catcher In the Rye”, discusses how Holden lied a lot, how he tells phoebe about his problems and discusses the fact that he ordered a prostitute. Holden is a bad example in which he is an antagonist. Holden was the antagonist because he lied a lot, Holden’s antagonistic behaviors occurs when he tell his sister phoebe about topics what she should not know about at her age and Holden can be deemed an antagonist because he orders a prostitute. Due to his choices and immoral behaviors, Holden is the novel’s villain.
