You are responsible for finding all the information you can about life in 1949. Here are some things you might want to think about: What was it like being a teenager in 1949? Holden's use of language is very distinct in the novel, is this the way most teenagers spoke at the time? How did they dress? What did they like to listen to? What occupied their time in the late '40s and early '50s? What was the median income? What was the median income for people like Holden's parents? You can include anything you want (links, information, statistics), as long as it’s connected to life in the late 1940s.
