Your son...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Caulfield,

It has come to our attention that your son, Holden's mind may be disturbed. My colleges and myself have been reflecting on his time here at Pencey, and he seems to be clinically depressed. We have examined him- with his permission- and she determined that he came into depression after being shipped to boarding school as a teenager instead of being dealt with by his parents. Also, his brother, Allie, dying put a damper on his life. He has little interest in anything, and we highly recommend a therapist and a year or more, however long he needs, to stay home and rest. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Peter L. Griffin

Abstract.

So in English, we are supposed to find an Abstract eXpressionist of whom we like their work, and answer a few questions about them.

 I chose Helen Frankenthaler. Her lifestyle was relaxed, and so was her paintings. Her art exhibits emotion by using a lot of colors. I really REALLY hate this abstract "art" it's stupid an pointless in my opinion, but I guess since she uses pretty colors, it's okay. I think abstract art flourished because it drew attention from reality and took LITERALLY no talent to do. I mean, even a 9 month old baby could make this so called "art."
