Comparing The Catcher In The Rye And Good Will Hunting

There is many reasons why parents are important to have in are lives.
One thing is that they take care of use and show us right from wrong and show use unconditional love and care another is they help us with things we can’t do like change a tire on a car or help with homework and make you food and make sure you have clean close. In The Catcher in the Rye and “Good WIll Hunting” both Will and Holden have abusive or neglectful parents which impact their decisions in life and the way they view the world.
One decision that Will should have made is to go to college but he didn’t have anyone there supporting him and pushing him to actually do it instead he gets a job as a janitor at a college even though he’s smarter than the teachers there .

Holden he just doesn’t try at school he just tries in English and just lets himself get kicked out of all different schools because he thinks the people phoney and his parents just ship him off to different schools and don’t do anything about him falling out. Parents should encourage their kids to do the best of their abilities not just ignore the facts that there doing bad.
Holden and Will are both impulsive in making decisions and in their actions as a result of the lack of parental guidance. For example, when Holden was upset with Stradlater dating Jane Gallagher. He picked a fight with Stradlater and just kept calling Stradlater a moron in till Stradlater hit him. Another example of Holden being impulsive is when Maurice came to collect his money and kicked Holden in his nuts and Holden instead of just laying there and waiting for him to leave he calls Maurice a moron too. An example of Will being impulsive is when he seen Carmion that bullied him in kindergarten and then sees Carmion disrespect a women and decides this is the chance to get even and beat the crap out of him till the police had to pull him off then started to fight with the police after his friends told him they had to go but he just kept punching him.
