The arrival of a journey is not as significant as the journey itself. Without considering the journey, the arrival would mean nothing. A journey is more than a movement from one point to another, it is what happens during the journey to an individual that matters, and the arrival is just the outcome of the process of development. Stephen Sommers’ film “The Adventures of Huck Finn” conveys how journeys aren’t straightforward and can have many detours. But, the novel “Catcher in the Rye” featuring Holden Caulfield deeply explores how journeys can have significant impacts on people who are somewhat linked to them, be it present or future.
Life for children without a secure home to live in is a rough and unstable way of living, especially when growing into maturity. The novel and film, “The Catcher in the Rye” and “The Adventures of Huck Finn” show this lack of protection, as well as the maturity levels that affect both boys. Holden Caulfield is cynical when he gazes into the mist of a world that appears distorted. For Huck Finn, it is not the same because it is his conscience he struggles with. Both of these characters lack the sufficient guidance that they need to survive in society - it is their role models that help them through these issues as time progresses. Both novels show two boys growing up in a society that has refused to grant them a sense of security and a loving family. The author and director show the complexity of the boys' struggles through their odd choice of role models that help them to grow out of their childlike behaviours.
