Catcher in the Rye Relevancy

Of the articles we read on Wednesday, two out of three of the adult authors claimed that Catcher in the Rye no longer connects with teens.  Your goal was to construct a response to one of those three authors where you respond to their ideas and develop your own.  Please post your response as a comment to this post.

Before you do, here are some things to check:
1. Do you refer to the title or author to whom you are responding? If not, put it in.
2. Do you give textual evidence to support what you are responding to? If not, put it in.
3. Do you fully support your point of view with examples from your life and the book? If not, put it in.
4. Have you edited the response, looking for spelling, sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization and fluency? If not, do it.
5. Once you are sure your response communicates what you want it to in an academic and professional way, please post it here.
