Blog 5: Caulfield's Lasting Voice

After reading the article critiquing Catcher in the Rye, I am looking forward to reading the book. Anytime there is controversy, there is usually interest and passion involved. The article discusses the emotions, behaviors, profanity, and language depicted in the book, which makes it controversial. The author seems as interesting as the story he writes. I don't think he will disappoint me and I will be as captivated as thousands before me.

The girl quoted in the last paragraph of the article is correct about people dealing with situations differently, especially during the coming of age years. We can try to learn from other people's experiences, either how to handle or how to not handle a situation. Last year, The Taming of the Shrew brought out divided opinions. We were divided in Shakespeare's role of women in the novel.
