There are many issues that teens deal with in high school, such as depression, alcohol, friendship troubles, and discrimination. The four novels, The Catcher in the Rye, Unbroken, The Scorch Trials, and Prisoner B-3087 each depict one of these issues. I personally have gone through some of these difficulties during my time in high school, and the experiences have helped made me who am I am today. Throughout J. D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, the main character, Holden, struggles with

In the novel, The Catcher In The Rye, by J. D. Salinger, phonies play a grand role as one of the major themes of the novel. Webster's Dictionary defines a phony as, "a person who is not what he pretends to be." There are many examples of phonies in the novel, such as Sally Hayes, Stradlater, and even Holden Caulfield. Holden appears to be the biggest phonie of them all. Holden Caulfield is by far the king of all the phonies mentioned in the novel, The Catcher In The Rye, for he lies, is a hypocrite

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is the story of Holden, a boy who struggles with emotions and how to tell his parents he got kicked out of school, again. He is always travelling around New York trying to find something to entertain himself and have fun. But you can tell by the subtle hints he drops throughout the entire book he hates change.

If you want to stay alive [in the social society] you have to say that stuff” after many awkward situations (Salinger

As strongly as society wants to deny it, Holden was right; everyone is a phony in one way or another. Throughout The Catcher in the Rye Holden uses the word phony to describe the society around him and as a mechanism for his own isolation, but he fails to realize that he is the biggest phony of them all. Holden clearly perceives the insincerity of everyone around him and is nauseated by it; but despite his revulsion he still ends up being a phony himself. He reveals to the reader that even if someone

Like a Duck Out of Water In an initial reading of Catcher in the Rye the text suggests that the novel focuses on the main character, Holden, and that the text is concerned with his ability to grow and mature; however, similarly to how Salinger portrays the ducks as changing and unnoticed, Holden is as well. The ducks are in the midst of a large change in their lives, about to migrate and move on from one part of their life to the next, Holden is trying to move on from childhood to adulthood. Amongst

Many people in the world can agree that it isn’t always the greatest experience, and many people have an extremely hard time getting through it, but every single adult goes through the act of ‘growing up’. For many, the transition can be very depressing, and confusing. When a child is young becoming an adult seems to be enjoyable and exciting, but it isn’t

Holden Caulfield: Teenage Rebellion Phony is defined as a fake or an ingenuine person, this word was used most often by no other than Holden Caulfield, the most recognizable teenager in American literature. To truly understand who Holden Caulfield is, we must take a trip back in time to the 50s. The 1950s was a decade of prosperity and conformity, life in the 50s was simply peaceful.
