- 1655: Catcher In The Rye 4
- ... Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Both works feature naive, adolescent runaways as narrators, both commenting on the problems of their times, and both novels have been recurrently banned or restricted (Davis 318). John Aldrige remarked that both novels are "study in the spiritual picaresque, the joinery that for the young is all one way, from holy innocence to such knowledge as the world offers, from the reality which ... emotional frame of reference -- the reader knows them better than the other characters Holden encounters, who are generally, except for Phoebe, nonessential (71).When asked for a final comment on the character of Holden Caulfield, John Aldrige stated that the innocence of the main character was a combination of urban intelligence, juvenile contempt, and New Yorker sentimentalism. The only challenge it has left, therefore, is that of the genuine, the truly ... those are with unfortunate results (Kegel 55).The final step in the critical analyzing of The Catcher in the Rye is to look at what has occurred at or near the end of the novel.

This was another step towards democracy. The colonies ... a rule was a Roman Catholic country, where the Pope showed unconditional guidance. Then there was the Anglican Church created by Henry VIII where the King was in charge. And even then there was radical John Calvin standing in the back preaching about predestination to whoever would listen. His ideas struck through all of Europe before too long. Through the 1500s and 1600s severe religious conflicts surfaced. So here we have ... idea of nobles was pretty far fetched in the colonies given that the majority of our population was working class. Also, the most important political idea in America was the equality of men.

- 1657: Beatles 2
- ... This suggests the power of a catchy title. Something out of the ordinary to catch the eye. Something misspelled, perhaps? The Beetles? No, The Beatles. What's in their name? In the words of Beatle John Lennon, "when you hear it, the name is little crawly things. When you see it, it's "beat" music." I think that's quite attractive to a record store browser, don't you? Of course ... for a vocal that used each individual's voice in its best place. In the end, it was the loss of group strength that finished the Beatles. They each started to do their own things. John went off with Yoko, Paul wrote his own stuff, as did George. There were internal disagreements, as well. George wanted more of his work included on the albums, Ringo walked out for a time over a disagreement with Paul, John had Yoko, whom the others were bothered by, and Paul went ballistic when they tried to delay the release of his solo album so there wouldn't be any conflict in the release dates ( ...
