In an academic essay, explore Holden’s state of mind in “The Catcher and the Rye”. Argue whether or not Holden would have committed self-harm or violence toward others, if he had not been institutionalized. Think about which factors played the most significant role in Holden’s mental health decline, OR may have contributed to his path toward healing. Establish a claim and use evidence from Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” Quindlen’s “The C-Word in the Hallways,” the movie “Dead Poet’s Society” directed by Peter Weir, and one outside source from your own personal research.
