JD Salinger...Died

so as im sure most of you have read catcher in the rye, being in high school, you know of all the controversy that surrounds the book. many have moral problems with it as the main character, Holden, indulges in drinking, sexual activities(or at least he acts like he does, and swearing like crazy. the book was actually rejected several times before it was published...and today, Holden would be seventy five years old. but still the book is in school systems...although i detest swearing, i mean i understand why the book is important. holden does some serious soul searching during the book, whether the reader consciously realizes it or not. after reading the book i walked away with this puzzle in my mind...i wanted, no i HAD to figure out holden. i couldnt understand what he was looking for, why he was the way he was...etc. i have never been the kid to get in trouble, why did he so much? but then you come to realize that really, its like life, all of us looking for what we want and trying to get it...but Salinger was very particular about his work, many have wanted to make the book into a movie or write sequels, all to no avail. so the recluse offer declined his fame and lived quietly until his death brought him back into the media
