__Please type (or link to) **the rough draft of your conclusion paragraph here**__: (5 points) In conclusion the catcher in the rye is a great story written by J.D Salinger. I recommend this book to anyone who can read because it involves a lot of thinking of others and yourself. Even though Holden Fears adulthood I think that he will be able to overcome his problems of issues and become mature enough to the face that he will not be able to save children form becoming into adults. Many other people also think that Holden will be able to live and socialize with the adults around him. Holden Fears adult hood because of the fearing of loosing his innocence, sexuality and relationships and the fear of being a phony.
