Aim - Jacob Ahuero: In the book it is about a rich kid and how he gets thrown out of a lot of school. He wonders around the city of Manhattan trying to get drunk and lucky. The point to writing this is to show how some kids struggle in life. It relates to the New york times because the setting is in Manhattan. In new York some people are high and others are really low. On the website Shmoop it says “teenager trying to find a way to be true to himself while growing up in a world full of phonies” (Shmoop 5). In the 1950’s of New York there are many rich people due stocks and other things, but many teens struggle to find there way and the author J.D. Salinger is trying to show the life of a 1950's teen.

"The 1950s." History.com. A&E Television Networks, n.d. Web. 14 Nov. 2013. Audience - Chase Charles In the book the author is targeting teenagers, the book is about a kid in the 1950’s being expelled from every school he goes to. Instead the kid walks around town getting drunk and getting lucky. The author writes this book to show that everything is not about partying and getting lucky, it is about your life and education. The author wants to get his point across to the younger audience because they are the new generation. In the book is says, “ Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody” (Salinger). This quote means that don’t let anyone get into your personal life, he says this because people can be negative influence on your life. I chose this picture because it represents the diversity of people in New York in the 1950's, in this time period people called it the stirring pot because of the diversity. In another part of the book it says, "Do not let anyone judge you" (Salinger). This quote means that as long as you are yourself, do not let anyone change your personality and who you truly are. History - Kyle Lorenz: In the 1950’s it was the end of the second World War. Thousands of young service men were returning from battle. There were mixed feelings after the war, many lives were lost, and America’s perseverance was put to the test. In the decade of 1950 the population was, 151,684,000 and there were 3,288,000 people unemployed. The American Cultural History stated, “There was a fresh artistic outlook after World War II ended and the artistic world reflected this outlook” (Kingwood). The daily life for the people in New York during the 1950’s changed when the service men came back home, and they were left without a job.
