Bad Things Doesn T

In the book Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Salinger,
Holden Cantfield portrays the catcher and needs to
be caught because of his delusional state of mind.
He portrays himself as a saint, or a do-good that
is out to save the world from evil. Holden is
delusional, possibly insane and can be harmful to
others. He sure doesn t seem to be nice or kind to
people. The only people he liked in his miserable
life are dead, like his brother. The general tone
of his character seems to spark indifference and

Catcher In The Rye Rest Of The World
572 words
In the novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden
Caulfield finds himself a protector of innocence.
Throughout the whole book, the idea that children
lose their innocence as they mature is widely
explored, and it appears that Holden is trying to
shield them from maturity. Or, at least, to keep
these people pure, and innocent, in his mind. In
this way, I believe Holden Caulfield is one of the
most complex characters that we have read about,
in school. The act of Holden giving his red
hunting cap to Ph...

Catcher In The Rye: Holden Caufield Holden
Caufield was a high school student at a boys
academy by the name of Peace Prep. He feels as
though he had fought the world and lost, everyone
is against him and that little can bring him joy.
He had lost his innocence, and saw himself as a
catcher in the rye, trying to save children from
his fate. Holden is quite the eccentric
individual. I say this because of the incident
with Sally Hayes where he proclaims his love for
her and how they should run off ...

Litchfield, Connecticut. She was the daughter of a
Calvinist minister and she and her family was all
devout Christians, her father being a preacher and

was for abolishing it, because it was, to her, a
very unchristian and cruel institution. Her novel,

slavery, including the whippings, beatings, and
