Day go to a bookstore, I picked up a lot of world famous in a very thin book, called "The Catcher in the Rye" when I picked up this book, I did not expect such a thin book will I have so many on the impact made me strong feelings, I think the form and content of the book are excellent. United States 50 years is a very confusing time, not yet dispersed cloud of World War II, the Cold War was underway smoke. The one hand, rapid development of technology, but on the other hand, people lack the vision, depression, inability to change their social background , the live unexamined lives.Then, the "Beat Generation" appeared, Holden is one of them, his smoking, drinking, do not make progress, but he is still not reduced to drug abuse, solitary point, because in his heart, has also there are beautiful and distant vision --- to be a "Catcher in the Rye." We live in this country, and this time is in the great reformation, and all are in rapid development. In a sense, this is the 50's the United States does have some resemblance. The society progresses, people's thinking has also is changing, many people began to confusion, depression, they gradually forgotten their own ideals, not the initial enthusiasm, began to dream of mediocrity. We are a group of children living in the new era, nature has used confusion and trouble, but we should concentrate our front sights, in our way, we should be the ideal group of ambitious people. If Holden did not he pure vision, he would fall in the end, is let him live his ideals.Ideal is the beacon for people, it brought people into the future, towards the light. Our lives have just begun, even if life for our generation some confusion and hesitation, but everything is just temporary, not to all the past, we most in need now, is our ideal. Yes, there are ideal, there is hope, hope, tomorrow, tomorrow will be better!
