Hey Riddhi! I really enjoyed your presentation on J.D Salinger and the Catcher and the Rye. After you discussed your research thesis, I read through your research paper. I loved how you focused on Salinger's depiction of "youth" through the Catcher and the Rye. This I felt went hand and hand with "the coming of age" novels we have talked about throughout this year. I did have a question though relating to his depiction of youth? You spoke of how a nonconformist teenager engages in "profanity, sexuality and misanthropy". Does this portrayal by J.D Salinger have anything to do with the time period that he wrote his novel in? Overall, you did a great job and I feel as though your knowledge of your author really strengthened this research paper. Kylie
