The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Lecture #10 (Chapter 3 - Part 2) Detailed Book Analysis and In-Depth Discussion.
In this lecture we are continuing our analysis, discussion and exploration of Chapter 3 of J.D. Salinger’s famed and beloved masterpiece, The Catcher in the Rye. In this discussion we have the opportunity to learn about Holden’s favorite authors, as well as the kind of books he gravitates towards. Additionally we get introduced to Holden’s classmate, Ackley. We read and learn of Holden’s opinions about Ackley, and begin to have a picture of what kind of kid this is, and what his relationship is to Holden.
The Catcher in The Rye, like many others, is one of my favorite novels, and by far my favorite coming of age novel. We get the opportunity to analyze Holden Caulfield, explore his psychology, his experiences, and his unique hero’s journey which then allows us to understand ourselves even better. Throughout the lecture I will try to show similarities between what Holden is going through and what we go through in our lives through a detailed analysis of the story. I do this by recounting numerous personal anecdotes, and mentioning life experiences that we all share and can relate to. Tune in or feel free to watch the lecture series on YouTube as well.
