I would like you to choose 3 songs that illustrate Holden's rebellious, sarcastic personality. We know that he is a bit of a cynic and tends to be very pessimistic. However, Holden is also intelligent and sensitive.
After picking your songs, please type a one page essay explaining why these songs capture Holden's personality. (double spaced, 12 pt. font) "Fell on Black Days" by Soundgarden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiaZDQjsbuw Holden Caulfield is a troubled teenager trying to navigate his way through high school. In his short life, he’s had several significant things happen to him- losing his brother, getting kicked out of schools, and having difficulty making close friendships. Due to Holden’s pessimistic nature, there are numerous songs with dark tones that illustrate his state of mind. For example, Soundgarden’s “Fell on Black Days” captures his difficult experiences as he tries to deal with Allie’s death, and find his way in school and life in general. Lines such as “I’m only faking when I get it right… ‘Cause I fell on black days” explains the way Holden drifts aimlessly through life. In addition, “How would I know that this could be my fate? I sure don’t mind a change” reflect Holden’s disappointment in himself and his fear of letting his parents down again. Although Holden is bright and capable, he remains stuck in a downward spiral and fails to believe in himself. https://www.slideshare.net/graveneymedia/characteristics-of-a-scifi-heroes-villain-and-anti-hero
