All That David Copperfield Kind of Crap

I think Salinger was trying to get at how Copperfield's writing style is very ordinary and follows sequential events. The novel David Copperfield is more like an autobiography and talks about the personal history and experiences of David Copperfield. In Dickens' novel he writes about many events that have occurred in his own life. By Salinger having that phrase as his first line of Catcher in the Rye goes to show how he has a very different writing style than Dickens. Salinger is trying to express that his character is going be very dynamic and doesn't follow a traditional course in his life.
