  Claim: "Salingers works often use
  religion in order to portray comfort. "
  Arrgument: Salinger does use religon to provide confort towards his characters.
  Evidence: "In Salingers Nine Stories
  Franny Glass keeps reciting the "Jesus Prayer" to cope with the
  suicide of her brother Seymour (Bloom in Bryfonski and Senick 69).
  Salinger is able to use this prayer as a means of comfort for Franny.
  The prayer stands for the last hope for Franny in this situation.
  Franny would be lost if their was no prayer. (Bryfonski and Senick
  71). Salinger shows us comfort in Catcher in the Rye. Holden
  Caufield, the protagonist, is very much in despair for losing his
  girlfriend, so Caufield reads a passage in the Bible. This helps
  Holden change his outlook on life (Salzberg 75). Holden was all alone
  at this point and had no one to turn back on, until he found the Bible
  (Salzberg 76)."
