Be what may, here is what was perceived as the story line. Holden Caufield was telling his story (to the readers, or to some peop...

However, many literary critics also marveled at Salinger? s genius use of language, which was used to make Holden Caulfield, the main character, unbelievably realistic. Such language includes both repetition of phrases and blatant cursing, in order to capture the informal speech of the average, northeastern American adolescent. Through Holden? s thoughts and dialogues, Salinger succe...
