It had a gigantic impact on our teenagers, as well as the development of our pop culture. The book itself has been referenced in films and television programs around the world. The film Charlie Bartlett follows the plot quite closely. The film has many similarities, such as Charlie coming from a wealthy family and being kicked out of countless private schools. Charlie also has trouble adjusting to his new schools and gets into pointless fights. There have actually been many films that have followed the same plot as The Catcher in the Rye very closely, but they never seem to have the same impact as this well-written novel. American pop culture can't get enough of Holden Caulfield and his wacky attitude. The American band Green Day actually wrote a song called Who Wrote Holden Caulfield in which they talk about the young man and use several quotes directly from the book such as "Where do the ducks go in the winter?" and “put your hat on and go away”.
