    I believe what Thayer means when he states this is that explanations from others is a trap, because no one should determine the world for you. It is up to you to find the answers. For example, in today’s generation the media does a lot of thinking for people. It is consuming much of what is out there for people to believe. From how we act, to the way we think, dress, or even the way we talk. We don’t understand much because we let other do the thinking for us. In order to understand others we first

    Whilst D. Costello reflects “all we can conclude from Holden’s slang is that it is typical teenage slang” I would argue otherwise. Instead, I might suggest that Holden’s vernacular highlights a degree of misinterpretation in his speech. For example; his trite use of the term “goddam” is removed from theological implications. Indeed the same applies to his use of “hell”, “ass”, “crap” and “killed”. Hence, these expressions are used for emphasis, to “indicate a high degree of emotion – any kind”. Certainly
