1. 2. Historical 3. Gabriela Berigan 4. JD Salinger was a writer who was very successful through publishings, specifically, Catcher in the Rye, which led him to fame and influenced the 20th century. He was known for his intriguing style of writing as seen in an article “It was the comedy, the overt soulfulness, the high-hearted (to use an adjective he liked) romantic openness of the early Salinger stories that came as such a revelation to readers” (Gopink). He opened a new style of writing that had not been seen to people for a very long time. Catcher in the Rye was a revelation to post World War II- through this writing he inspired many other great authors such as Phillip Roth. Other stories that he wrote were seen as inspiring and mysterious which kept his readers interested in more. Salinger’s ‘dark’ style of writing had a large impact in which the way people write today. Through Salinger’s writing a new type of writing revolutionized. He was fortunate to have such a triumph with his books and seen as such an icon. 5. Gopink, Adam. “JD Salinger.” The New Yorker. 2013.

1. 2. Cultural 3. Kaitlyn Ivey 4. His book Catcher in the Rye resonates with youth from every generation. Unlike many writers of today Salinger wrote for himself. In fact, “He allowed that his published works would be absorbed by readers, but he never wanted the scalpels of criticism and devotion that followed” (J.D. Salinger, January 1, 1919- J.D. 2010). He did not want the fame that comes with writing a book like Catcher in the Rye; he wanted people to understand youth. He wanted people to have an insight into a teenage mind. His books have a philosophical touch that involve a deeper level evaluation of one’s life. After reading his book, long past his death, people’s life change. People have a deeper meaning of others around them. 5. “J.D. Salinger, January 1, 1919- J.D. 2010.” salinger. Banafish, 2013 September 26. Web. Dec. 2013. McGrath, Charles. “J. D.

1. 2. Aim 3. Jaret McNeil 4. The aim of the book Catcher in the Ryeis a man not knowing what he is going to do with his future. The boy in the story is trying to find himself and throughout the story is trying to talk to us about the things that have happened to him in the past. In fact, “Holden Caulfield, is a teenager newly expelled from prep school” ("The Catcher in the Rye). He is a teenager that is not knowing what he is going to do with his life and tries to find himself throughout the story. Throughout the book he is faced with many people who are “phony” and keeps his ways. He tries to act himself through the book land is faced with many challenges. He believes in his mind that he is a failure; he has also flunked out of school and not only does he have problems with that but, he would end up in the future. So in all he tries to find himself and find out who he wants to be, and how to survive in the world he is faced with. 5. McGrath, Charles. “J. D.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">1. ”Such depress” - J.D. Salinger <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">2. Audience <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">3. Henry Tran <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">4. J.D. Salinger’s book Catcher in the Rye is written for older people or mature audiences. Most of this books incorporate sex, death, and vulgarness in them and that is why they are for older audiences. The influences for his book could of come from World War II. The influences that he got from WWII was rebellion and war and how they impact people. He was also dating a woman who had war touches and that could have influenced who he wrote his writing to. Also, he has isolated himself for over 50 years and that could have been another reason for this vulgar text. In most of his book, he brings up topics that no man wants to hear about and he is perfectly fine with it. He has recently died at 91. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">5.
