Life Is A Game Holden Caulfield
1,029 words
I swear to God Im crazy. I admit it. It is very
easy to automatically assume that Holden Caulfield
is crazy. Its even a logical assumption since
Caulfield himself admits to being crazy twice
throughout the course of the book. However,
calling Holden Caulfield crazy is almost the same
as calling the majority of the human race crazy
also. Holden Caulfield is just an adolescent
trying to prevent himself from turning into what
he despises the most, a phony. Most of Caulfield's
actions and thoughts a...

Good Will Hunting Catcher In The Rye

Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye will
have a better chance throughout life than Will
Hunting from Good Will Hunting because of several
reasons. First, Holden has birth parents who still
care about him and help comfort him when he needs
help. Another reason is how Will has grown up
already with an adult brain and is set in his
ways. Holden, on the other hand, is still growing

Kananach and Thomas Moore who use symbolism to
convey and support indirect meaning in their
writings. J. D. Salinger and F. Scott Fitzgerald
both use symbolism in similar ways. In both "The

parents more openly once he gets his problems out
in the open where they can be seen and analyzed.
