- 461: Catcher In The Rye - Holden An
- The protagonist, Holden Caulfield, interacts with many people throughout J.D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye, but probably none have as much impact on him as certain members of his immediate family.

How do Holden’s different opinions of his family compare and do his views constitute enough merit to be deemed truth? Holden makes reference to the word "phony" forty-four separate times throughout the novel (Corbett 68-73). ...

- ... and perfect but really they're as Holden put it "phonies." This is shown countless amount of times in his journey through New York and even before he left. The setting is in the 1950's; so I'm pretty sure that he didn't encounter any transvestites, lesbians, or anything that extreme of phoniest. Or on the other hand he could have liked them for being as Elmemson said a "none conformist." But I doubt it, he seemed to ... him look so good was "rusty as hell and full on lather and hair and crap." This proves that he is a slob to "never clean it or anything." If you think about it that's even worst than Old Ackley. At least Ackley knew that he had a problem, that he need to do something about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually ...
- 463: Birth Parents Should Not Be Able To Reclaim Their Child
- ... Kate Burke once wrote, that in most stated, the birth mother was entitled to receive living expenses, medical care, and were able to choose and meet the adoptive parents. As for the men they weren't given any rights or say in the issues at all. (Burke 1997, 13) Chris Craig was caught explaining that the birth mother was also allowed to determine whether or not the birth father would be ... she would grow up constantly questioning where his or her father where. They were also curious as to they were non-existent. Children felt as though his or her fathers were ashamed of them, didn't care for them, or that they were an accident making these children feel rejected. (Craig 1996, 123) In reality the birth mothers had control of the father and his relationship with the child. These laws ... still existed in the present day, adopted children would experience more unwanted pain and stress, causing them to grow up in an unstable atmosphere. The changes made in new laws, however, are considering the children's rights (and feelings allowing them to live in a healthy environment) and showing how necessary it is that birthparents are not allowed to reclaim their child. Katie Burke wrote, new laws have made changes ...
- 464: The Treatment of a Women in Sports
- The Treatment of a Women in Sports "Women are always nervous about being aggressive. Parents don't even realize this. And it's not done on purpose. But girls are taught to be passive from the pink blanket to when she falls down, to how they are held, how they are talked to, how they are told they are pretty. If a boy falls down, the father says, "Get up, you're okay." If a girl falls down, they say, "Oh, are you all right?" She's being told to be passive. If a woman is aggressive, people say she's a bitch, they don't like it. But women and men need to be appropriately aggressive. And we're not." ...

- 466: History Of The Counterculture
- The 1950's in America were considered a true awakening of youth culture. If this is true then the 1960's was a decade of discovery. It was a decade marred by social unrest, civil rights injustice, and violence abroad. These were some of the factors that lead to a revolution that attempted to bifurcate the ... War, and the injustices of society. (Constable, 27-28) It is important to first examine the change in music that was the fuel of the counterculture revolution. Rock n’ Roll was born in the 1950's.
