Amir committed the deadly sin of being envious towards Hassan being in Amir’s life and his value towards Baba, which left him in guilt for witnessing Hassan’s struggle growing up. This all left him in unhappiness throughout his adulthood and married life as he was never able to forgive himself unless he had strived for Hassan’s forgiveness.

When Holden was about thirteen, Allie passed away; causing him to become incredibly distant and angry (39). Holden pushes people away, and never allows them to get close to him because he's afraid to loose them like he lost Allie. This phobia of relationships is also partially the reason he is consistently getting kicked out of schools. He doesn't want to become to familiar with the places or the people; thus, protecting himself from another painful loss.

Many young people across the world are in the same struggle, trying to find their place in life, and constantly struggling upstream against society. The value of a book like this is significant because it educates the youth of the world on the struggles of finding your place in life, and greatly relates to our youth on a personal level. The second conflict in the novel is Holden’s struggle versus himself. At Pency Prep, and throughout the novel, Holden always talks about how fake everyone around him is. He hates cheap and phony people, and cannot seem to find anyone in the world that is not cheap and phony.

noticed that I did miss tying it into some of the trials and tribulations in the story, and now as I read over this I feel if like my experience between father and son is actually a lot like Odysseus and Telemachus. At a young age, my father left home and I learned to become a man of the household without him physically being present. The struggle of growing up with that weight on my shoulders I think definitely compares to that of Tele. in the Odyssey. My fathers departure was a major turning point in my life, it changed a lot of things for me and was very emotional.
