Some ways that the four characters; Neil, Todd, Knox, and Charlie; are similar to Holden is that they are all trouble makers at their schools. They all got in trouble for starting the society at their  school with their friends, just like Holden got in trouble for bad grades, ect. Also, Holden thinks about Jane Gallagher and likes her a lot and wishes to date her just like Knox likes Chris a lot and wants to date her in the movie, Dead Poets Society. Some ways they are different from one another is that in the book by Salinger, Holden doesn't live or describe most of his story in the school, Pency, where as in the movie, a lot of the setting is based in the school or just outside of the private school they are at. Also, at Pency, his roommates are mean and dirty and such. But in the movie, they all get along for the most part and agree on most things. So therefore there are many similarities and difference's comparing the two.
