    This book was first published in 1951 by Little, Brown and Company. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE By J.D. Salinger © 1951 CHAPTER 1 If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that--but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all. He's in Hollywood. That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end. He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He just got a Jaguar. One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour.

Introduction This thesis examines and compares The Catcher in the Rye (1951) by Jerome David Salinger and The House on Mango Street (1984) by Sandra Cisneros. On the first sight, these two pieces of literature seem utterly different: The Catcher in the Rye, set in the late forties, is a story told by Holden Caulfield, a depressed, alienated 16- year-old boy of upper-middle-class origin who strongly disapproves of the world around him and desperately tries to escape the falsity and arrogance that surrounds him.

  • An Outline and Analysis of the Jewish Humor in Seinfeld
    Schutzman 1 Zachary Schutzman Jewish Humor Rabbi Isaacs February 7th, 2013 A Paper About Nothing: An Outline and Analysis of the Jewish Humor in Seinfeld In 1989, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David’s show Seinfeld premiered. The show would run for nine seasons and become one of the most popular shows in America, ranking number one in its final season (classictvhits.com). Widely hailed as a show about nothing, the series featured four New Yorkers and their families and acquaintances in mostly everyday situations, deriving comedy from both the character traits of each person on the show as well as how each one reacted to the situation at hand. Along with being a hallmark of late 20th century American humor, Seinfeld is an excellent example of late 20th century Jewish humor due to its use of the traditional Jewish stock characters and employment of many of the historically thematic components of the genre. It is impossible to dispute that Seinfeld was created by Jews. The co-creators, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are both Jewish, as are three of the four main cast members: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jason Alexander.
