Phenomenon of JD Salinger & The Catcher in the Rye.

The author of a 65 million sold copies of one of his most famous books, The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger makes the decision to run from it all. Well, at least the fame and not so much the $$$$$$$ lol.He left because the success of his book was overwhelming and he really wasn't ready for it at the rapid speed it came from in my opinion. "I'm so sorry you've come so far but, as you will know, my husband is someone who values his privacy," says the wife of Salinger to a reporter from Spector name Leonard. It makes perfect sense to me as of why he doesn't want media taking over all of the little bit of privacy he does have (at home). On the other hand, I'm not so sure about the disappearance in the public eye completely and turning anti-social when everyone just wants to credit him for a great contribution to the world through writing and his own personal accomplishments. Moreover,• The catcher in the rye was a lot more fascinating during the 1950s and has dramatically changed over the years differently in many people eyes. In 1950s, teens were a lot more rebellious and dealing with post-war stress. Some people, mostly parents think it’s unappropiate for teens in highschool and has been banned because of that. However, schools that continue to teach have realized and noticed the awesome literature JD Salinger intells.
"I connected to this book in the sense that my way of thinking is the same as Holden. Yes, he is selfish and a madman. Is this bad? It is not for us to say. It has been benifitial to me and everyone around me that i love. Holden is a fictional character that represents what many of us have gone through, and is the manifestation of what just a few of us have gone through. Parents, love it or hate it this book depicts the truth going on around our world. You of all people should know that this vulgar language is only as bad as we make it. It is in every day life, and honestly its not that big a deal.Neither is sexuality. Its not so much the age of the kid as much as it is the moral values, intelligence and manor to which the child has been raised. If the child has been raised in a non tolerant household that fluffs up the real world, of course the child is going to be disturbed by this. and kids, teens, whatever, please read this book. hell, you might not make the least bit connection with it but it is a very real statement and your first insight of the truth. "

This is a discussion about the negativity parents and others in authorities having been giving this book instead of at least crediting the author for the overall concept/message. “All I did was, I got up and went over and looked out the window. I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.” Both boys are motivated to consider suicide by a feeling of intense loneliness. This suggests that Huck and Holden not only wish to escape the constricting, corrupting influence of civilization as they perceive it, but also to discover some unprecedented form of community or intimacy that the prevailing social order has denied them.
