9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

However, some features, including the account of Moses’ death, have led scholars to conclude that parts of it came from a later time.

In the novel The Catcher in the Rye published in 1951 by J.D Salinger and Six Degrees of Separation a film directed in 1993 by Fred Schepisi, we are able to examine the journey of the protagonists through the similarities within the thematic concerns involved in the process of maturation. Also alienation and familial relationships within a conservative society can be seen as an inevitable fact within both texts. The uniqueness of each text is enhanced by the differing contexts, whilst their examination of similar prosperous and conservative societies forces us to see the connection between the texts. The different forms of media allow us to explore on how both the literary and visual techniques of each text are used to present the different contexts in regards to the meaning of each text. Through the comparative study of the two texts we are provided with an insight to the journey undertaken by the two protagonists in their attempt to find their meaning of life.
