Catcher Questions Q: Can Holden relate to modern day Teens? A: Yes, I think that Holden can relate to modern day teens in some ways. Holden is living in the fifties at this time, and a lot of stuff has not changed.

…showed last 75 words of 832 total…problems with all of this going on. I don’t really think that it was the time period that Holden was living in that makes him the way he is. I believe that it has something to do with his mind, it is more psychiatric. I also think that if he was to move to any other time frame that he would have more problems and be in worse trouble then he is right now.
