Why are teenagers the way there are What is wrong with teenagers? JD Salinger shows a rough time as a teenager in the book Catcher in the Rye. Holden Caulfield is a normal teenager going through a rough patch in his life causing him to make bad decisions. Teenager’s minds are not always fully connected, meaning we make dumb choices.

How does he established COHERENCE among all these examples? Answer: Staples has been mistaken for a criminal countless times because of his race. The first time this happened, he scared a young white women when he turned the corner at night, and she ran off, convinced that he was “a mugger, a rapist, or worse.” Brent shares instances of people locking their car doors or crossing the street when he walked by, but he says he can’t blame them, as “young black males are drastically overrepresented among the perpetrators of… violence.” He discusses his childhood in Chester, Pennsylvania where there is “gang warfare, street knifings, and murders” that many of his friends and family have gone to prison or been killed over. He mentions two extreme situations in which he is mistaken for a burglar and tells the story of a journalist mistaken for the killer he was reporting on.
