Citation 1 -- "Photoshop Tips & Tricks". Showker Graphic Arts & Design, 1994. Retrieved 15 May 2007.

- The "Photoshop Tips & Tricks" is exactly what it's title says that it is. It is a how to guide for Photoshop. It explains how to repair damaged photos, change the colors around, and use the filter effects, among other things. The site itself can be seen more as a table of contents that can be used to discover nearly all of the capabilities that Photoshop has to offer as a piece of software. To use the words found in the mission statement of the website, "Photoshop Tips & Tricks is built around more than ten years of reader questions about image manipulation, painting and getting the most from Photoshop." There are frequently asked questions pages, an online Photoshop hotline, and a newsletter. In the frequently asked questions section, there is a list of recently asked questions as well as a link to the entire database. In the hotline page, you can submit your own questions to the collective user forum, and in the newsletter section, you can find up to date reports of different effects, uses of filters, and you can see if your questions have been answered if you submit any to the hotline. Photoshop Tips & Tricks is an open source guide to Photoshop and what it can do for you.

- The page "J.D. Salinger" is a page that attempts to provide the viewer with a complete understanding of the life, works, and styling of J.D. Salinger. This page itself also can be seen as a home page, providing mainly a table of contents in the form of links, that will take the viewer to other works. The different sections of this table of contents -- each of which include various selected works -- include: Homepages, Biographies, Bibliographies,Online Text, Articles, Essays, Reviews, and Related to or Inspired by JDS. One link in particular that may prove useful is "Exercise in Writing in the Style of J.D. Salinger". Another link that may be helpful is "The Holden Server (every reload produces a quote from Catcher in the Rye)". It is interesting to notice what happens when you attempt to follow these links. They seem to serve as warning and as a record of websites that attempt to quote the physical text of Salinger's work, or even attempt to mimic it's style. It may be a coincidence, it may not, but given what we know about Salinger and his protective nature about his works, legal action cannot be ruled out as a possible reason for these severed links.

Citation 3 -- David, "Can we have free will? - Dave's theory of destiny / choice duality". Retrieved 15 May, 2007.

- An introductory essay into the philosophical dilemma of free will vs. determinism. There are many ways to go about looking at this problem, but at the core, most counterarguments to determinism rely on either religion or some form of quantum mechanics. Both of which are addressed in key moments in this essay. The premises of the short essay by Dave support his conclusion which he states as a postulation. "I would like to postulate that the probabilistic nature of physics at the small scale enables the rule of cause and effect in the human brain to be at least slightly bent. This slight uncertainty is enough for us not to be simply following a pre-determined path. Thus, both cause and effect and individualism are possible simultaneously, in the tradition of quantum physics this could be termed destiny / choice duality." This essay can be applied to thought on the subject of role playing games. Questions that can be asked after reading this article are:
1. Should the gamer be given free choice in a role playing game?
2. Does this free choice warrant a free choice of ending?
3. Can you have a free choice game with a deterministic ending?
4. Does this shed any light on the subject of free will and determinism in our lives today, according to David's essay?

Citation 4 -- "CATCHER: INTERNAL ASPECTS". © 1999-2007 by Bernd Wahlbrinck, Home of the Wadel, Germany. Retrieved 15 May 2007.

- A Table of contents leading to a string of shorter essays that deal with the internal mechanics of Catcher in the Rye. I have selected a table of contents instead of one the essays specifically because they are all relatively short, and each one seems to have it's own individual morsel of interpretive information. In making a model of the work of J.D. Salinger, it will prove to be essential to make sure that these elements of interpretive information survive through the transition between one medium and another. For example, in the essay written solely on the subject of Jane, Holden's ex. girlfriend, we find a focus on her lack of physical presence in the novel. Holden never actually meets her at any point in the story, but he does reminisce about her in the past. His jealousy of her and Stradlater is pure because we do not get to see if she is actually worth Holden's jealousy, and only have his perspective to rely on. This among many of the other focuses of the collected essays assembled here, can prove as a useful set of points to maintain through the transformation of The Catcher in the Rye.
