Sample Body Paragraph: Both The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger portray characters who struggle to accept change, but the authors present their struggles in different ways. Fitzgerald portrays Gatsby’s resistance to change as destructive because he becomes obsessed with recreating his idealized past, while Salinger presents Holden’s resistance as a painful but necessary part of growing up. Gatsby believes that he can restore his relationship with Daisy exactly as it was before, confidently telling Nick, “Can’t repeat the past? Why of course you can!” (Fitzgerald 110). His statement reveals that Gatsby refuses to recognize that time has changed both him and Daisy. Instead of accepting reality, he attempts to force the present to match his idealized memory, ultimately contributing to his downfall. Similarly, Holden struggles with the idea that childhood innocence cannot last forever. He imagines himself standing in a field of children, protecting them from falling off a cliff because he wants to prevent them from entering adulthood (Salinger 191). However, unlike Gatsby, Holden gradually begins to understand that he cannot control how people grow and change. His experience suggests that accepting change, although painful, is necessary for emotional maturity. Through these characters, Fitzgerald and Salinger demonstrate that refusing to accept change can lead to isolation and unhappiness. However, while Gatsby remains trapped by his idealized vision of the past, Holden begins moving toward acceptance. Therefore, both works suggest that personal growth requires individuals to recognize that the past cannot be recreated and that change is an unavoidable part of life.
