I was talking to my friend today and oddly enough the topic of JD Salinger came up. She said she was in her AP English class and her teacher struck up a conversation about JD Salinger and his works. She then proceeded to ask me why I had such an interest in his stories. I guess her teacher was telling the class that she hated Salinger because she felt that in he started or atleast furthered a negative stereotype about teenagers. (Catcher) I figure she must have missed the point of the story or read it as an adult with little understanding of teenage feelings/thoughts. Also, it's totally ridiculous to base your whole opinion of an author on one work, she's a teacher she's suppose to know better. Just wondering what you guys thought about this. I've never heard this particular view point before. Morgan
