Seminar Questions

Close-Ended Question - Who do you think is Holden's closest friend that seems to keep him going through life?

Open-Ended Question - Why does Holden stay in New York so long if he hates so much about it and is tired of all the phony people that live there?

World Connection Question - In what ways does Holden represent the views of every teenager in our society today? How do his views differ from those of teenagers today?

Universal Theme Question - Is this book a criticism of how much "phoniness" there is in our world today? Is it hinting at how our society is becoming more phony as time goes on?

Literary Analysis Question - What is the effect of having Holden write about the past during the present instead of having an all-knowing narrator tell us the story of Holden?
