    Catcher In The Rye Analysis

    J.D. Salinger wanted to make a statement about the vulnerability of innocence as well as highlight the struggles a teenager faces when confronted with his future. He does this by creating a character currently dealing with a quarter life crisis; Holden has no clue what he’s going to do with his life, is severely depressed and is in constant conflict with growing up and adulthood. Holden Caulfield is confronted with an unfair challenge; like most modern youths, at the tender age of 16 he faces the the impossible choice of what he’ll do in life. First of all, it is cruel and immoral for him to be dealt with this issue as he is still stuck in a child-like mindset and even references how people his age are “practically children” (Salinger 147).…

Frequently, appearances can turn out to be deceptive, in outstanding and unfortunate ways, and this idea is shown by Harper Lee in To Kill A Mockingbird, a fiction novel written in 1960 set in the segregated american south during the Great Depression.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Prejudism Analysis

    Prejudism is Real “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite,” said Nelson Mandela, civil rights activist. This quote explains the prejudism going on in To Kill a Mockingbird because there’s judging going on with everyone and the young kids in the story don’t see why it happens because they weren’t born to discriminate. I think everybody is treated unfairly in some way or another and I think that no matter who you are or what you do, you’ll be judged by someone for it.…

    The Butcher's Tale Analysis

    On March 13, 1900, the severed body parts of Ernst Winter were found, neatly packaged and distributed around the small Polish town of Konitz. Two days earlier, Ernst Winter was brutally murdered; his blood was drained from his body while each of his limbs were cut with a sawblade. The townspeople quickly made two assumptions about the murder: the murderer must’ve been Jewish because of the drained blood and the murderer must’ve been a butcher because of the incredibly precise incisions. This presumptuous criterion led directly to Adolph Lewy, the only Jewish butcher in Konitz. Staying true to their inherent prejudice, the common-people of Konitz associated the murder with a blood libel, which was a barbaric Jewish practice of ritually slaughtering Christian children and baking matzo with their blood.…

    The Catcher In The Rye Analysis

    Salinger shows his attentiveness toward the rhythms of speech by using italics quite frequently in order to let the reader know when a character is placing emphasis on a word, or even on just a syllable, in dialogue. The emphasis of a single syllable shows a realism to the dialogue of The Catcher in the Rye rarely seen not only in the works of Salinger?s time, but also before and after it. Salinger?s emphasis on the rhythm of speech is mirrored in his emphasis on the rhythm of thought, which, in turn, emphasizes the importance of both. Salinger uses paragraph breaks not only to change from one subject to another, but also to accentuate certain thoughts. In another demonstration of his literary brilliance, Salinger shows that he knows the human mind by using shorter paragraphs for more important matters.…
