Brick in the wall-Pink Floyd

Brick in the wall is related to Holden because it is talking about how they want teachers to leave the kids alone. I feel as if this is the attitude Holden has towards school because he doesn’t try and blows everything off. There is also a line in the song that states “we don’t need no thought control.” This is the feeling you get from Holden throughout the book because he thinks what he wants and no one can change that.

Schools out-Alice Cooper This song relates to Holden because he ditches school and doesn’t care about it. In the song they talk about school being out and blowing up the school. The song portrays hatred for school and this is what Holden feels towards school. []

Jimi Hendrix- Foxy Lady This song relates to Holden’s desire to be with Jane. In the song Jimi Hendrix sings “I won't do you no harm, no. You've got to be all mine, all mine” this line describes perfectly what Holden feels for Jane. He cares for her and wants her to be his, this is why he got jealous of his roommate and tried to fight him when he went out with Jane. []

The Doors I feel like Holden would like the doors because of Jim Morrison. He was crazy and an alcoholic, whom I think Holden would get a kick out of. The whole band was kind of about rebellion and not conforming, which is what Holden is doing throughout the entire book.
