All That David Copperfield Kind of Crap

It seems that Dickens style is very descriptive and detailed with who each characters are and their meaning to the story line. It outlines one person's life with excessive details that a reader feels they are reading about little things and not the whole idea. David Copperfield seemed to be a general story where one person experiences multiple tragedies and gets sent away just to have more tragedies to occur. At the end there is a small plot twist but it is just outlining a man's life who has lived through great tragedy. When Salinger states that her protagonist in no where near David Copperfield she is trying to say that Holden is someone who is abnormal and an outcast who doesn't tell his life in details but in moments. He outlines his life from how it happened but not in minuscule details that no one will remember but unforgettable adventures that relate to the readers. He tells his story from his own perspective and what he thinks, which is only one perspective but it allows the reader to better involve themselves in the decisions made. Dickens likes to incorporate a mound of characters that the protagonist encounters whereas Salinger has many characters but focuses on the main ones that truly affect the protagonist and his/her character. Copperfield is intricate with general background information about his family and where he comes from but Holden stray away from that and states that he not the average narrator because he tells his real story, not the general one that people can read on paper or the story of how others shaped him and their story.
