The Psychological Message Of Catcher In Rye
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 is yet another instance of a
story with an i...

Catcher In The Rye Looked Good
1,138 words
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
like kid...

Good Will Hunting Catcher In The Rye
464 words
Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye will
have a better chance throughout life than Will
Hunting from Good Will Hunting because of several
reasons. First, Holden has birth parents who still
care about him and help comfort him when he needs
help. Another reason is how Will has grown up
already with an adult brain and is set in his
ways. Holden, on the other hand, is still growing
up and might change his attitude on life. Another
reason is how both characters received mental help

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, ...
