Download or read book Adolescent Hero in the Works of Katherine Anne Porter and J D Salinger written by Rashmi Gupta and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Up For Some Adolescents Is A Source Of Anxiety. They Dread Relinquishing Childhood Dependency And Assuming Responsibility. Sometimes They Feel Completely Overwhelmed By These Problems. In These Cases, Previous Blighting Experiences Make Them Hostile Or Excessively Submissive. From The Birth An Individual Is Influenced By The Social Environment And He Influences It. The Law Of Conditioning Plays A Significant Role In Fashioning Human Personality. The Influences Of Home, The Freedoms And Constraints Of Society And Processes Of Conflict, Co-Operation, Accommodation And Isolation Have Distinct Contribution In The Process Of Conditioning. The Social Forces, Social Problems And Social Situations Hamper Or Help An Individual Towards The Realization Of His Aspirations. Many Of The Problems Arise From Gender Discrimination And Social Set-Up Or Structure. It Is Against This Backdrop The Author Has Tried To Assess The Adolescent Behaviour In The Works Of Katherine Anne Porter And J.D. Salinger. Katherine Anne Porter S Later Stories And J.D. Salinger S The Catcher In The Rye Most Appropriately Suggest The Modern Predicament Of Alienation. Feeling Isolated The Hero Distrusts Truth, Justice And Love And Negates Everything Conforming To A Value-Oriented Society. Salinger S Main Concern Is With The Dehumanizing Effects Of Urbanization And Technological Developments On The Psyche Of An Individual. The Writer Feels That An Incessant Striving For Wealth, Luxuries And Comforts Of Technological Civilization Lead The Individual To Spiritual Vacuity. The Individual In Ms. Porter S Works Desires To Understand The Past And Compares It To The Failures Of Modern Man In A Mechanized, Chaotic World. Ms. Porter Longs For The Pastoral World Of The Past But Mocks Its Inadequacy To Meet The Contemporary Challenges. This Paradox Of Illusion Is Essential To Her Art And Philosophy Of Life.The Book Would Be Highly Useful Not Only For Students And Researchers Of English Literature But Also For Students And Researchers Of Psychology And Psycho-Therapists.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: American Literature thematizing youth, adolescence and initiation draws on a long tradition reaching back to the 18th century, including writers like Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Henry James and William Faulkner. After the Second World War, the American novel of adolescence flourished again in a period that also gave birth to the genre's arguably most prominent representative: When J.D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye first entered the American book market in 1951, its critical reception could not have diverged more. Salinger's first novel, after publishing a number of short stories in the New Yorker, was mostly attacked for its extensive use of colloquial language. Initial reviews ranged from "an unusual brilliant first novel" to "wholly repellent in its mingled vulgarity [...] and sly perversion". In 1985, thirty-four years later, Less Than Zero, the first novel of Bennington College student Bret Easton Ellis, was published and also received widely mixed criticism. While Interview Magazine called his debut "startling and hypnotic", Paul Gray wrote in an article for Time Magazine that the novel "offers little more than its title promises", referring to its lack of depth and fully developed characters. The first part of this work will lay the theoretical foundations and discuss the genre of the novel of adolescence in respect to the two novels under investigation. After covering the theoretical basics, the second part of this paper intends to concentrate on detecting parallels in the themes and presentations of adolescence and initiation in both works. Since social criticism is always a central genre-specific characteristic of the novel of adolescence, the next part will briefly discuss this issue in respect to The Catcher in the Rye as well as Less Than Zero and point to a pos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "brilliant, funny, meaningful novel" (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books. "If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth." The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of The 1963 National Book Award for Fiction. The hero of J.F. Powers's comic masterpiece is Father Urban, a man of the cloth who is also a man of the world. Charming, with an expansive vision of the spiritual life and a high tolerance for moral ambiguity, Urban enjoys a national reputation as a speaker on the religious circuit and has big plans for the future. But then the provincial head of his dowdy religious order banishes him to a retreat house in the Minnesota hinterlands. Father Urban soon bounces back, carrying God's word with undaunted enthusiasm through the golf courses, fishing lodges, and backyard barbecues of his new turf. Yet even as he triumphs his tribulations mount, and in the end his greatest success proves a setback from which he cannot recover. First published in 1962, Morte D'Urban has been praised by writers as various as Gore Vidal, William Gass, Mary Gordon, and Philip Roth. This beautifully observed, often hilarious tale of a most unlikely Knight of Faith is among the finest achievements of an author whose singular vision assures him a permanent place in American literature.
