Title: Why do we still read this?
Review: I don't understand why we still read this book. Although I understand that this book was monumental in the era in which it was first published, it doesn't really relate to the world today. For one thing the main character (Holden Caulfield) is very different from the teenagers we have today. In instances we find that he swears incessantly and has and incredibly pessimistic view of the world. This is something that most teenagers experiance but Holden carries it to another level. His consistant tounge slashings and bad talk of those around him make him a character to hate, yet strangely many identify with him and find him quite interesting. In my opinion the few days wespend with him over the 2-hundred something pages are incredibly hard to go through and I had to force myself to read this book.
