>the reason why i joined this list is i have to do an essay and a report about >the generation conflict in "the catcher in the rye" (and maybe in the glass >books), and i thought you might help me with some opinions on this. I've read a lot of posts like this in the six or so months I've been on the list, and while I'd love to participate in helping people expand their Salinger experiences, whether for school or else, I'm always at a loss for where to start. I could give you my own personal Bible of Interpretation of Catcher, and let Jim burn it down :), but that would take more computer memory than my online mail service allows. Why don't you ask us some questions, or introduce your own ideas, and we'll all hash it out together. The Socratic Method versus the Storehouse Method, see. I ain't a tutor fer no reason.
