There are many different real world questions that we could think of after reading Catcher in the Rye. Let's start first by looking at the themes that are prevalent in The Catcher in the Rye. Holden is an innocent person who is fighting against society to avoid growing up. As a teenager, he feels as though he can't change society, and he develops a distaste towards fake or phony people. From this, we might ask several questions: Can a single person change the world? Do all teenagers need to go through a period of rebellion? Is it more important to try and fit it than to focus on what you find important? We also know that Holden struggles with mental health issues, which might bring up even more questions—What needs to be done to help people who are struggling to feel less lonely? What can be done to provide help to people struggling from depression?
