Extra Credit ) Chapter 5

In this chapter I learned that his other brother Allie died from leukemia in Maine. I think this is why Holden is kinda different then everyone else. He views everyone in a negative way, he does not want to get attached to some one because he love his brother and does not want to loose another good friend.

Holden Caulfeild I think is very annoying because he is always talking about how people are annoying, and he lies alot to people he should open up to. I think he is just going to be the same way through out the book. In a Historical lens I can see this book would be totally different if written in a different time period. For example if it was written today the hole plot would be different, and the Authors writting would be totaly different I think.
I think J.D. Salinger is trying to make the statment that kids in that time period were trying to break away from the "Amarican Dream" and this was like the begining of that revolution that happened in the 60's. This all goes back to a historical lens because if J.D. Salinger wrote it today it would not have that big of a meaning.
