Before Holden arrived at Pency he failed to meet academic standards at his previous schools that have “given him the axe”. The idea of Pency Prep seems to follow him everywhere because whoever he meets seems to know about it and how good of a school it is. It is a symbol of failure. Pency is not the first school Holden has flunked out of as a result his family is not too pleased with him and nonexistent academic ambitions other than in English. Central Park is a reoccurring location throughout

“Subaru’s Appeal to Family” America is a car culture. You can’t go to an American movie without seeing a car chase. Americans view their car as a statement of their wealth and independence. Despite the cultural identity that vehicles have in America‚ transportation is also critical for each and every person to exist successfully in this country. Our infrastructure is based around highways and roads that reinforce the cultural emphasis on car ownership and independence. SUVs have found a special

In my opinion‚ neither Holden nor Luce is more mature than the other. They both do more or less the same things that cause them to be immature in comparison to one another‚ and therefore‚ the things that they do that prove their maturity are overruled.

Family life plays an important role in the developmental process of maturing mentally and socially. The pressures and demanding expectations from family can leave a lasting imprint on a child. Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caulfield are two characters who originally appear to be ignorant adolescents consumed by fantasies. With a more in depth look into where their rebellious behavior stems from‚ it is clear the two boys are victims of negligence from their own families. This treatment is the central

Holden Caulfield is a dynamic character. In the beginning of the story‚ Holden has the heroic archetype of the seeker. The seeker is unsatisfied with life and has a desperate wish to feel fulfilled‚ yet this search causes them to overlook the things they already have. This definitely embodies Holden in the start of the book‚ “…then I yelled at the top of my goddam voice‚ ‘sleep tight‚ ya morons!’... then I got the hell out”. This shows how he simply despises life in his current situation. He dislikes

He also admits that he made a "mistake" in his challenge with Brecca. This also adds to the empathy that the audience was already feeling for him. Admitting that he made a mistake makes Beowulf’s
