Catcher in the rye- 8

How accurately does this book reflect history? This question is just like number five, and I had a hard time with that one. So this is probably going to be even harder and such and rambling and as;fjad okay.

This book does not really have any working in it. Holden does not have a job, at least that I can remember. So there is nothing I can compare in the work environment.

I guess I will discuss the school system because that has something to do with this question.

The students and teacher's relationships were not really discussed in this book. Holden talked about how he did not like schooling in general, but I can not remember him picking on any teacher. Oh, Mr. Antolini.

According to the one relationship between student and teacher in this book, students are really supposed to get along with their teachers. Holden really looked up to Mr. Antolini. They were obviously close, because Holden went to Mr. Antolini when he had problems with his life. They seemed to get along swimmingly. Maybe back in the day that was how relationships with teachers were. Nowadays, teachers and students are not as close.

What influenced this author? J.D. Salinger must have been influenced by himself because there is nothing I can think of that could have reflected on Holden's mind. Salinger's creative self must have influenced his writing. Maybe he traveled and got to meet some interesting people that influenced his creativity. Overall, though, I think he did not need too much inspiration and influence. I think he wrote this book with his own thoughts.
