Dear Holden this is something that you would love about the world I live in...

Dear Holden Caulfield,

My world is flourished with many good things, however from your point of view, my world is very limited when it comes to greatness.

Towards the end of the story, you talked about being the catcher in the rye and saving kids before they grew up. Well if you lived in my world, you would love Justin Beiber and the Jonas Brothers, because they have yet to mature into a grown up mentality. Justin Beiber is a kid who is adored for being cute and innocent, and I am sure that if you had a chance to save him from the constant poor examples that he is surrounded by, you would. The Jonas Brothers, are a group of siblings who help spread messages to their peers to make good decisions, and live their child years to the fullest. I could see you being a big fan of the Jonas Brothers for that reason.

You would also love activists like Marthin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. These are all examples of people who stood up for what they believed in and never gave up. A person that you uniquely favor in the story, is the boy who commited suicide because he refused to give in to the boys at his school. Marthin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks relate to this boy, not because they commited suicide themselves, but because they didn't change their opinions or listen to what other people said, if they didn't agree with it. They risked their lives to fight for what they believed in, and refused to allow others to change them.

In the end, there may be many things to like about the world I live in, but things are more attractive to the eyes of the beholder.
