Is Life A Game?


This question is something asked everywhere and there have been many answers to this but there has never been a true answer. In my opinion, life is not a game because you don't have die that determine where you move or cards that send you to jail. It's all up to you how you live your life. You can choose to be a family man, a doctor, paper boy, robber, etc. The point is... you decide your future, you are in control.
In the book, "The Catcher in the Rye", we find Holden doesn't really know where he is going or what he is doing. This shows Holden doesn't really care about his life and this will give him the idea that life is a game. However, Holden then decides to just leave his school earlier than planned and just hide out in New York for a bit. With this, I think Holden has started taking control of his life and doing what he wants. Now I believe Holden is probably thinking life isn't a game and will now live how he wants.
