The story itself is not bad, and its multiple symbols and themes that are closely analyzed are probably reasons why this book is forced-fed to teenagers. However, it seems like the true reason this book is such a classic is that it…

seems no one can decide whether it is from the devil or just a fictional series. Can the children to young adult books be encouraging the use of witchcraft? Or do they provide enjoyment for people who like to read? Many websites can be found saying that J. K. Rowling confirmed she wrote it to convert children to witchcraft, it is not so. There are also websites that say that vaccines cause autism, and we know that’s not true. Rowling states on her website: “I was traveling back to London on my…

Although, it is almost 67 years old, its import has no generational limitation. Holden’s perspective and outlook on life appears cynical and bitter on the…
