Comparing Holden In The Rye And Dead Poets Society

Holden and Charlie

While Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and Dead Poets Society by N.H. Kleinbaum are two completely different stories; nevertheless they do also share some similarities. Among similarities that I found is a similarity between two main characters in the stories - Holden, the main character in Catcher in the Rye, and Charlie Dalton from Dead Poets Society. Charlie and Holden are very similar starting from their financial situation to their general interests in life.
Holden comes from a rich family and he goes to an all boy’s school called Pency Prep. Holden is failing all his classes except English, which is his favorite subject. Since Holden is failing so much, he is kicked out of Pency Prep.

He visits his elderly history teacher, Spencer, to say goodbye, but when Spencer tries to reprimand him for his poor academic performance, Holden becomes annoyed. Back in the dormitory, Holden is further irritated by his unclean neighbor, Ackley, and by his own roommate, Stradlater. Stradlater spends the evening on a date with Jane Gallagher. A girl whom Holden may be in love with. They met back on Maine on their summer places, she is the girl next door and they have spent a lot of time together during the summer. Holden got very irritated when Stradlater told him that they didn't go anywhere on the date, but stay on the car of Ed Banks, the basketball coach. Students are not allowed to use car from the faculty, but in the case of athletes, it was different; "all the athletic bastards stick together" (43).

    Holden left Pency Prep and took a train back home to New York City.

He goes to a bar in the restaurant where he continuously tries to pick up women. The room is filled with "old, show-offy-looking guys and their dates" (69) except for three women who, in Holden’s opinion, were pretty ugly except for the blond one.

    Trying to find who you are and growing up to a young adult is a hard time for many people. Adolescence is a time between when you’re a kid and your transition into a young adult. Sylvia Plath from The Bell Jar and Holden Caulfield from The Catcher In the Rye are just two examples that can be relatable to not only each other, but to many us as well. The main protagonists from both The Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar compare to each other in ways some people might not see. They both feel like they are lost from everyone in society and most discernibly towards themselves, they go through appalling failures and hardships, and they also both face some sort of depression.…

    Change is an inevitable process of life and can be the most complexing and difficult thing we come to face in our lives. It is something we must overcome in many aspects, shapes and forms. However in whatever form it comes our way, we must embrace it and not be afraid because a fear of change can lead to an unfulfilled life. In my opinion change is a very complex thing and can be embraced though it is a hard process it is also a fact of life. The Catcher in the Rye, The Door and Dead Poets Society contributed to my new understanding of change.…

    All throughout the novel, Holden digresses about people he finds phony and the degree of hatred he has towards their phoniness. He talks about his older brother, DB, noting that he is a brilliant writer but hates that fact that he becomes a “prostitute” in Hollywood (2). Holden does not like that DB goes around looking like a big shot with his jaguar. He also does not like that DB wastes his talent in writing storylines for movies. This alludes to the next significant concept that Holden hates. Holden strongly dislikes movies in general and the people that love to see movies. He finds that movies are phony because it is just acting; the content of film is far from reality. Holden claims that people who enjoy movies are phony because they are just drawn to the superficial. Again, Holden demonstrates his hatred of phoniness through movies. The last aspect he hates about the phoniness of people is the arrogance and essence of superiority that is evoked. Holden explains that Pencey Prep “molds boys into splendid, clear-thinking young men who play polo” (2). However, he feels it is full of phoniness that Pencey is left with the idea that the school is full of polo players and hot shot students. In reality, no one plays polo and it is a standard school. Evidently, Holden demonstrates his hatred of phoniness through his numerous complaints and criticism of…

    With only a few pages into the novel, Holden begins with a plethora of information about him and his family. He informs the reader that he must say his goodbyes with his history teacher, Mr. Spencer, for unknown reasons. In a moment of nostalgia he quickly remembers to mention that he has recently been expelled from Pencey Prep for flunking most of his courses. To the reader’s surprise Holden remains completely calm throughout his entire explanation of the expulsion, yet a hint of suspicion lingers after he states, “They kicked me out… I mean I’ve left schools and places I didn’t even know…

    The school claims to shape young boys into fine young gentlemen. Holden is in belief that the school has a goal to prepare students to become phonies for the adult world. Pencey Prep uses the saying "Since 1888 we have been molding boys into splendid, clear-thinking young men.", which Holden completely disagrees with. Holden claims the school is a phony because they make untrue remarks about how well they are at preparing young boys for the adult world. Holden never states that the school is better or worse than any other school, he claims that they do no more molding than any other school, which is his reasoning for it being a phony. At Holden's previous school, Elkton Hills, Holden claimed to have dropped out only because of the headmaster Mr. Haas and his lack of genuineness. On page 13 and 14, Holden makes this statement " [Mr. Haas] was the phoniest bastard I ever met in my life . . .. On Sundays, for instance, old Haas went around shaking hands with everybody's parents when they drove up to school. He'd be charming as hell and all. Except if some boy had little old funny-looking parents. . . . I mean if a boy's mother was sort of fat or corny-looking or something, and if somebody's father was one of those guys that wear those suits with big shoulders and corny black-and-white shoes, then old Haas would just shake hands with them and give half an hour with somebody else's parents" Which seems to make a lot…

    Holden expresses this apathetic trend in everything he does. His carelessness with money is displayed by the end of the book, when he is forced to ask his younger sister Phoebe for money, “You got any dough Peob? I’m practically broke.” He also shows some early signs regarding lack of motivation in school. Holden reveals that Pencey is not the first school he’s had trouble with, he references a couple other places like “Whooton School” and “Elton Hills”. As school is seen as the guiding pathway to young adults’ futures, Holden’s lack of application implies his nonchalant perspective on his forthcoming…
