NEW POINT OF VIEW

Hello! I think the question: Why evil exist in man?, focuses much on a special topic, but I think we all would like to vent, so to speak, for a question a little more open about the novel. For example, I'm reading The Catcher in the Rye, and on those days I was thinking of one in particular, this is it.
If any of us had a chance to change their lives for a day with some character in the novel, what would it be? Why?

respond according to your novel.

Obsession for Identity

As we read "Down These Mean Streets" and Catcher in the Rye" we notice that the whole story is about finding a group to belong and/or social acceptance. In some cases they need to sacrifice certain things in life in order to actually make part of something. It even happens that some of these sacrifices are unconscious, like getting into a fight just to help a friend in need, without asking anything in return.

Why do they do this?

Is it a common pattern in mankind?

What kind of sacrifices do we do to belong somewhere?
