Topic 2: History of the novel

Why did this book have such an impact on Americans of the 20th century and today? Here are some suggestions to get you thinking: Look for information on book reviews when it was published in 1951, link interviews with current writers that were affected by Holden and add them to your post. How did teenagers react to the book when it was first published? Why was the book banned? Are there letters readers wrote to the author? See if you can find some reasons for why this book is the most banned book and why it is so controversial.
