The Essay. “Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.” People play by the rules, but is it worth living your life like that? In both, the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” and the movie “The Dead Poet’s Society,” main characters refuse to play by the rules. Holden, main character in “The Catcher in the Rye,” and Neil, main character in “The Dead Poet’s Society,” both suffer form not following them. Holden is sent to private school where discipline, honor, tradition and excellence are taught and expected to be achieved. But to Holden going to school and becoming a lawyer isn’t everything he wants from life. He gets tired of always playing by the rules where you have to be polite and doing what everyone does. “I’m always saying ‘Glad to’ve met you’ to somebody I’m not at all glad I met.” People always try to be polite to even someone they don’t like, but Holden thinks that if you don’t like a person you shouldn’t be all nice in front of him/her.
