Now this <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> source took me to a side of grief I wanted to see. This side of grief is <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> one that the main character Holden can relate the most to. His constant <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> desire of alcohol really shows his inability to cope with the sadness <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> caused by ally's death. The article explains how drinking and doing drugs <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> and alcohol are a quick way to sedating the pain caused by the grief. Yet <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> again it demonstrates how grief should not be handle in negative ways like <span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> the way Holden is going about it.

Noel, Brook. "The Physical and Emotional Effects of Grief." FuneralPlan. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Apr. 2014. <http://funeralplan.com/griefsupport/griefsteps.html>. This website is dedicated to helping those experiencing grief to recognize what it is and offer advice onto how to overcome certain obstacles that it may bring. This website lists both physical and emotional aspects of grief. After each symptom is listed there are resources and advice on how to overcome there challenges in a healthy way. This source has provided general information to help better understand grief in general and some symptoms can be tied back to behaviors of Holden in The Catcher in the Rye. This can be used to back up the claim that Holden is still grieving over his brothers death.

Weiss, Piper. "How Children of Celebrities Deal with Grief." Shine. Yahoo, n.d. Web. 24 Apr. 2014. <https://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/children-celebrities-struggle-grief-204900097.html>. This source discusses several children of deceased celebrities including Micheal Jackson's children and Elvis Presley's daughter. The article discusses how the children handled the deaths and compared and contrasted how certain approaches worked. For example, children removed from the public eye and those who stayed in it. It also compared how children handled the grief in the long run. For example, Elvis Presley's daughter took a more rebellious and harmful approach while Paris Jackson now has a role in a movie and is seemingly doing well. This is helpful when understanding Holden's grief in showing that people handle it differently. Some can take it and handle it fine while others struggle to come to terms with it. Holden represents a person struggling through the process.

"Coping with Grief." Psychology Today. Sussex Publishers, n.d. Web. 28 Apr. 2014. <http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/grief>.

This article explores the reasons for grief and the ways to cope with it. One of the major ways to deal with loss is to seek out friendships. In the article they said that death makes us feel alone and vulnerable. It disrupts our trust and ability to form bonds with others and we start to doubt that we could ever be close to anyone again. Another part of the article talked about how mourning was a positive process that heals the "phantom limb grief", or going about your schedule as if the person you lost still exists. Mourning is also enabled by a circle of loving friends and family. Grief and mourning are the only ways to get over the death of a lost one.

This article discussed the unhealthy ways that people often deal with grief. There is absent grief in which you don't feel sadness or loss alone or with others. This type of grief is harmful because it causes a build up of stress. Another type of grief is prolonged grief, where you are still upset over the persons death after a number of years.The last type of grief is exaggerated or stuck grief. This type of grief is like being stuck on a roller coaster of emotions.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">“Kurt Cobain Biography.” Rollingstone. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Apr. 2014. < [] >. The Rollingstone’s biography of Kurt Cobain includes information about his band Nirvana, his music, and his early life. When Kurt was young his parents got a divorce. This divorce scarred him and created his “bad” attitude. He wanted a “real” family and never felt close to his “new” parents. Kurt wouldn’t speak with his friends because he was jealous of their family and because of his trust problems. His trust was broken when his father got remarried after promising not to get married again. Kurt Cobain expresses his pain and hurt through his music. His grunge sound is paired with meaningful lyrics that reflect his past grief.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">“Text: Edgar Allan Poe, “Spirits of the Dead” (Text-A), ­Tamerlane and Other Poems­ (1827), pp. 27-28.” Eapoe. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Apr. 2014. < [] >. Spirits of the Dead, also known as Visit of the Dead, is a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe and was published in his book Tamerlane and Other Poems in 1827. This poem contains the ideas of loneliness and lost. He was an orphan from a young age when his father left and his mother died. The family he lived with after never formally adopted him. He also had many debates and fights with his new “father.” Money was always an issue in the household making poor Poe drop out of school and join the army. I believe that some of the pain he experienced early in his life influenced some or most of his writing. The dark tone and disturbing details in Spirits of the Dead, in my opinion, reflect the emotions he was feeling throughout his previous hard years. This poem shows how people use the resources available to them to express their thoughts and things that are bothering them. Since Poe had a desire for writing he used poems to get his life down on paper.
