Catcher In The Rye Uncle Wiggily
1,575 words
Salinger's children, as they appear in various
novels and short stories, portray the ills of
modern society through their innocence and
spirituality, their honesty and sometimes, erratic
behaviour. They are often as fragile and odd as
they are intelligent and endearing, and the
obscenities of life tend to overwhelm them at
times. My intention is to show how Salinger uses
the same technique over and over in his work. That
is the use of children with all the innocence and
idealism of youth, to dep...
