916 words
As humans, we adjust to our surroundings and
distinguish reality from imagination. At a young
age, we play with our imagination and ignore
reality. But as we mature, we learn not to take
things for granted. We realize that reality is
real, and imagination is make-believe. The world
can be confusing. Reality is translated
differently by each individual. Actions that may
be bothersome to some, may seem normal to most.
This behavior is evident in the novel The Catcher
in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. ...
