A 1950’s Teenager like Holden Caulfield Kiara Mayhand
Identity of 1950’s teenager • Rebellion • Hair and outfit changes • Dating/ young romance • Music-Rock n roll • Dances • Drive-in
Holden’s Childhood • Running around New York • Going places he knows he shouldn’t be • Drinking everyday
Holden’s Adulthood • Becomes clear toward the end • Knew it was best for him to go home • Realized the responsibilities he has • Realized Pheobe looked up to him
Motifs and Symbols • Museum • Never changed • Comfort zone • “The catcher in the rye” • What he wanted to be • A protector • Reason for judging people so quickly
Loss of innocence through Holden • Lost Ally • Kicked out of school • Smoking/drinking • Bad attitude about everyone • Quick to judge without knowing someone
Loss of innocence of a teen in the 50’s • Defy parents • Dating before married • Taking life less seriously
My Opinion • Rebellion is necessary for identity • Make yourself different from the rest of the world • Learning from mistakesmakes one grow up
