Briefly skim the Wikipedia entry on CONFLICT.  
 
The Catcher in the Rye has one main conflict: growing up and leaving childhood behind.  As we have discussed in class, Holden is afraid to grow up and lose the innocence that childhood possesses.  He is caught in a limbo because he knows that he has to grow up, yet he doesn’t want to.
