I feel that people should not share their outlines. this is because some people that didn't read the book, will be able to get ideas from other people's outlines anyways to use on their essay. It isn't fair to the people that did read the book because they will both have the same information, even though only certain people actually did the reading.
I don't think this would actually benefit Mr. doubt. this is because he would only see the work of the people that copied ideas along to the people that did the readin. He would not realize who had done their work and who hadn't.
Yes I'm looking forward to using the outline i did for the essay, because i did a good job on it and I think it will really help me.

Summary of Skaz Essay
Skaz is a word that could possibly refer to ‘scat’ as scat singing, and jazz. It is used to write in first person form, which is usually used when the character refers to himself. He narrates the story using ‘I’ and uses mostly colloquial speech. Colloquial speech means the language that is used every day. It is not formal, but very relaxed and simple. English people saw skaz as a way to ‘free themselves’ from the normal traditions of England and ‘book speech’. The Catcher in the Rye is apparently a ‘relative’ of the book Huckleberry Finn, the first book to use skaz.
The way that Catcher in the Rye refers to skaz is because it is written is a lot like the way that teenagers speak nowadays. He uses slang, and an sometimes and excessive amount of repetition. His sentences are very short and he usually exaggerates when referring to certain things. Some people may disagree because of the way this book is written, but what makes it interesting is the style of the text. The simpleness of the writing is what makes you keep reading, because of the differences between that and other books. The analysis of why this genre of writing is called skaz is because it is said that there is a poetic trace in the method of writing, making it swing like a jazz musician.

Chapter Review
Chapter 7:
He goes into his neighbor's room (Ackley) and asks if he wanted to play cards with him. After Ackley rejects his offer about playing with him, and having him sleep in his roommate's bed, Holden decides he wants to go to New York. He decides that he wont go back home until his parents 'digest' the situation he's in.
Chapter 8:
When he's on the train to New York, a woman sits next to him. She asks him if he goes to Pencey, because her son goes there. Holden says yes but tells her that is name is Rudolf. They talk for a while and Holden keeps telling her about her son, and what a hotshot and a popular modest guy he was. Holden thought that Ernie's mom was very pretty, and the more he talked the more lies he's say to make himself look good.
