9.How does "The Catcher in the Rye" relate to its Time Period?

Throughout the novel Catcher in the Rye, I believe that it relates to its time period because not only was the book published around the 1950's but from the 1940's there were many moments in the book that influenced some scenes to that specific time period. One of the more obvious relations is the fact that the book is written during the post-World War II. Throughout the novel, Holden talks about the war and the many effect it's had on his brother D.B. with a slightly detached air. Holden also mentions the Atomic bomb during the novel which is a very known historical event that took place during that time period. The atomic bomb was one of the most shocking and known events that happened during World War II, which was when the U.S. busted out in August of 1945, four to five years earlier than Holden's narration. You can see the dropping of the bomb as a sort of a nation-wide "loss of innocence" if you were so inclined. The novel Catcher in the Rye, had many events, such as the ones I have mentioned, that relates itself to the time period that it was written in. I was content with the details of the post War that the author decided to add in, I think it added a lot of interest and history towards the book.
