<p>catcher in the rye is my favorite book, I love the main character Holden. If I write about how we share a similar outlook on life... WILL THE ADMISSION OFFICERS THINK I AM A BUDDING SERIAL KILLER?</p>
<p>or will they think that I am at least really really anitsocial and weird?</p>
<p>I wrote about it for my SAT writing topic. They didnt like it very much :P</p>
<p>I think anything as long as you do it well will be fine. Just as long as its done well.</p>
<p>is this a really cliched topic?</p>
<p>I think it would be better to simply write something personal, detailed, honest and revealing about yourself, which could include mentioning Holden Caulfield, rather than allowing the main point of your essay to be "I am like someone else."</p>
