Catcher In The Rye Elkton Hills
1,295 words
Holden Caulfield's monologue in The Catcher in the
Rye is an examination of one boy's struggle of
entering into adulthood. He is a classic screw up
with no goals, just as Stradlater, his roommate at
Percent, states; "you don't do one damn thing the
way you " re supposed to" (Salinger 41). It is
really Holden's avoidance of having to grow up and
his fears related to it. It is because of Holden's
fears the he becomes so full of despair and
loneliness and is often nauseated by the world
around him ...

intriguing, with its many opportunities and
freedoms. Yet, these young adults are often
disappointed finding the trials associated with
"growing up" confusing. Although they are full

Fact That Holden Catcher In The Rye
1,101 words
Siblings are never meant to get along. They yell
and bicker over everything and are never able to
have a friendly relationship. Very rarely do I see
a pleasant relationship between a brother and a
sister, who actually are able to communicate
without killing each other. When I see siblings
that are nice to each other, I admire them because
it takes a lot to be nice to their siblings,
especially if there is a seven year difference
between them, like Holden and Phoebe. In J. D.
Salinger's novel, Th...

Catcher In The Rye Main Character

The Catcher in the Rye By Christine Cameron
Hypothesis: How does the writer create a
believable main character in Holden? The Catcher
in the Rye by J. D Salinger was first published in
America and Britain in 1951 but the British
version had some minor changes. For example,
certain swear words and slang words were removed.
It was also banned from schools. This made the
book more appealing to me because I wanted to see
what all the controversy was about. On reading the
book, I found it interesting...

Catcher In The Rye Tabula Rasa
814 words
I received word that the editors of the Little
Brown and Company are considering changing the
cover of JD Salingers novel, The Catcher in the
Rye. I strongly recommend that the cover be left
alone. The book has been commended on its
exemplary literary meaning for the past fifty
years; the present cover is a visual
representation of this meaning. The blank cover
expresses the overriding theme of controlling ones
own fate, similar to John Locke's idea of the
tabula rasa (blank slate). Indirectly, ...
