Caroline or Change, and J.D. Salinger

As I was thinking last night I remembered a short story we read last year, "Down at the Dinghy." This story I felt was very similar to Caroline or Change. It had a maid, and the the family was Jewish, and there were issues of racism throughout the short story similar to Caroline or Change.

    This a very interesting connection and it almost seems way too similar. Its almost like it was a little bit of inspiration from J.D Salinger.

    It was the weirdest thing the similarities between the two are almost identical, for example the family is Jewish, and the maid lashes out about the family similar to how Caroline lashes out at Noah, but the only difference I saw was there wasn't really a presence or emphasis of the Civil Rights movements as there was in "Caroline of Change".
