1,034 words
The Psychological Message of J. D. Salinger's The
Catcher in the Rye A novel, like a movie, is a
form of entertainment; however, some novels do a
great deal more than entertain. Some pack an
emphatic psychological message. An illustration of
such a publication is Mark Twain's The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn. In addition, Ken Kaseys One
Flew Over the Cookies Nest is a narrative with a
comparable central theme. J. D. Salinger's The

Catcher In The Rye Kings In The Back
1,800 words
The Catcher and the Rye is not the kind of story
with a meaningful story line, that is, knowing
only that would indicate little on what it is
about. The events told in the story, seem to
unfold as flashbacks. We can sense a chronological
order of events in Holden Caufield's story,
although the order does not matter as much as
acknowledging each event as its own story. 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...

The theme that the world has an outward appearance
that seems fair and perfect but really they " re
as Holden put it "phonies. " This is shown
countless amount of times in his journey through
New York and even before he left. The setting is
in the 1950 's; so I'm pretty sure that he didn't
encounter any transvestites, lesbians, or anything
that extreme of phoniest. Or on the other hand he
could have liked them for being as Elmemson said a
"none conformist. " But I doubt it, he seemed to

Life Is A Game Point Of View
1,653 words
The Catcher in the Rye has truly earned its place

majority of the story is compiled of Holden's
rudimentary monologue of 'complexly simple'
thoughts, the rest utilizing his relay of previous
dialogue. That and the use of unique punctuation,
