I choose the one 'holden 50 still catches.
i found this one very intresting how the author of this article refrences her life experience back to the book. how she claims that holdens character was very much like she was at that age. she continues to explain the joy and pleasure this book has continusly brought to her. It was guide for her and helped find a character much like her. she still loves the book even as she grows older.

i choosed the love and death of the catcher in the rye. in this article, it explained how the youth at the time was sort of similar to holden because of the "neurosis, self-destructive
behavior, and social maladaptation" and when the book was released alot of ppl understood holden because they related and the hypocritical, uncaring society holden was in attracted to its more sensitive souls.
