There were many mistakes in the first paragraph alone. Holden wasnt 18, he was 16. Allie wasnt his two year old brother, he was two years younger than Holden. D.B didnt exactly struggle at all, he had a few books out and was quiet wealthy, considering the fact that he had a jaguar.

I dont really recommend this to anyone.

Holden wasnt in college he went to Pency Prep- Prep school in highschool. This is mistake riddled. suffer you even read the book? The ending!!! OMGGG thats not why it has that title. its because after Holden eats with the nuns he sees a poor family and one of them is singing it...Catcher in the Rye was a song.

Hes actually 17 when hes retelling the story...he was 16 throughtout the story...as for the author of this essay...go read the book.
