Abstract/Description
-
This thesis examines the presence of anti-Ideological State Apparatus (ISA) themes in three influential young adult literature novels: The Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace, and To Kill a Mockingbird. Due to their time of publishing, this project refers to these books as origins of American young adult literature. Through use of reader-response theory, I find that the novels encourage readers to seek a place outside ISAs for the remainder of their adolescence and approaching adulthood.
