The document discusses two novels, 1984 by George Orwell and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. 1984 has been challenged for its political and sexual content but focuses on themes of fear, hatred, nationalism, oppression, and control. The rise of Nazi Germany paralleled the totalitarian government in 1984. The Catcher in the Rye has also been challenged and banned in several schools due to its language and themes of alienation, sexuality, and criticism of societal norms. Both novels deal with rebellion against authoritarian control and the difficulties of growing up.

6. The Catcher in the Rye What really knocks me out is a book, when you're all done reading it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. Holden Caulfield in Chapter 3
