World Is Phony Holden Thinks One
611 wordsHolden Caulfield, the main character in J. D. Salingers The Catcher in the Rye, is what I believe to be one of the most well-developed characters which I have read about. He has many characteristics that are all his own, such as the way he views the world, his friends and his family. One of the main things that characterizes Holden, is that way that he thinks the entire world is phony. Holden's view of the world as phony is a very strong one, and in most cases, is correct. Holden thinks that the...

Coming Of Age Catcher In The Rye
609 wordsSome books, such as sleazy Wal-Mart romances, are dead as soon as they hit the shelves. These books are food for landfills, and probably remain in the hearts of only two people: the author and the 60 year old hermit woman who waits, with mossy teeth for her Fabio to swing from the vines of the books cover (Tarzan call and all) and rescue her from soap operas and loneliness. But, there are books that pop every once in a while that last for generations. These books sit proud in the classics sectio...

Feelings He Feels Takes Him To A Movie Holden
895 wordsHolden Caulfield is a very strange yet unique character. I think that everybody has a certain aspect of Holden inside of them. Holden is the very quiet, loner, calm type.

This is a point which makes Holden a character that is easily relatable to. Holden's personality is not exactly the model one however. On the contrary, Holden is what one does ...

Catcher In The Rye Uncle Wiggily
1,575 wordsSalinger's children, as they appear in various novels and short stories, portray the ills of modern society through their innocence and spirituality, their honesty and sometimes, erratic behaviour. They are often as fragile and odd as they are intelligent and endearing, and the obscenities of life tend to overwhelm them at times. My intention is to show how Salinger uses the same technique over and over in his work. That is the use of children with all the innocence and idealism of youth, to dep...
