Banned Books: The Catcher in the Rye- Mason Morgan

I chose one of my favorite books from grade school, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. It revolves around the life of Holden Caulfield, a teenage kid going through some trouble. In this scene, Holden hires a prostitute to come up to his hotel room, but feels uncomfortable and only wants someone to talk to. It is one of the more challenged scenes, because the book is normally assigned to grade school children. After reading it though, the scene is not as bad as challengers make it out to be.
