Catcher In The Rye Elkton Hills

Holden Caulfield's monologue in The Catcher in the
Rye is an examination of one boy's struggle of
entering into adulthood. He is a classic screw up
with no goals, just as Stradlater, his roommate at
Percent, states; "you don't do one damn thing the
way you " re supposed to" (Salinger 41). It is
really Holden's avoidance of having to grow up and
his fears related to it. It is because of Holden's
fears the he becomes so full of despair and
loneliness and is often nauseated by the world
around him ...

The theme that the world has an outward appearance
that seems fair and perfect but really theyre as
Holden put it phonies. This is shown countless
amount of times in his journey through New York
and even before he left. The setting is in the
1950 s; so Im pretty sure that he didnt encounter
any transvestites, lesbians, or anything that
extreme of phoniest. Or on the other hand he could
have liked them for being as Elmemson said a none
conformist. But I doubt it, he seemed to like kids
more than ...

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 ...
