The Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace--A critical essay
Novels of Learning: a comparison of The Catcher in the Rye and A Separate Peace
It is not easy to simplify the reasons why a book tends to be studied a lot. Yet, if one were to streamline the reasons why The Catcher in the Rye is so often studied in the early years of high school, it would have to be because Holden is so easily recognizable. Readers intuitively know who Holden is and it therefore makes the analysis of the novel—which often involves a lot of questioning into Holden’s motives—that much more enjoyable. But when paired with another novel that has some striking similarities, that puts the notion of Genre into focus, one sees another reason why The Catcher in the Rye has such relevance to the high school age.
