Catcher In The Rye Book Report
In the fictional book “The catcher in the Rye” by Jd Salinger Holden is immature. Although he is struggling to come to terms with the death of his brother Holden is not so different from the rest of the teenagers in the world. He dos things all teenagers do, or at least most of them. Like wanting sex, coursing, hating a lot of things, and hating their parents. In this essay I will prove my thesis statement and make it look awesome.

A topic of my evidence would be the decisions he makes through out the book. For instance on page 15 he lies to his teacher so he could get out of the terrible situation he was in. he said “ I would love to stay but I need to go to the gym.” He lied and that was a bad decision. Another example of bad decisions
…show more content…

Each and every one of us has our own different quests that are all similar in some way. In Holden's great quest he gets expelled and decides not to tell his mom until very late in the book. This could also fall into the bad decisions category. Another part in his quest would be when his brother dies. He is very up set and well why wouldn’t he be he loved his brother. In conclusion Holden's quest is just like any others just with a few different stops on the way.

My last theme in my mystical essay, Holden's search for love, companionship, and friendship. Holden has 2 lovers throughout the book (maybe even 1). In the book he hired a prostitute. But made the strange decision to not make her leave even before she came in. he also makes many friends like his sister and Jane. To conclude Holden is just like us, we all need somebody to love.

To conclude this essay I end of by saying even though, Holden is immature, and even though he is inappropriate, and even though he is struggling to come to terms to his brothers death, in almost every way Holden is just like us. Because aren’t we all a little immature and aren’t we all morning the loss of something or someone. We all make bad decisions at times. And were all in a quest, the quest of life, and we all need love and affection. So to conclude Holden is no different than any other

    Traumatic experiences like the death of his brother Allie has not allowed him to move on.“ I know he’s dead….just because somebody is dead you don’t stop liking them..”(171). This shows that Holden has not been able to move on with his life because Allie is still a main focus of his life even though he is not physically there. Holden does not want anything to change, he wants everything to stay the same. That is one of the reasons he likes the Museum of Natural History, because it will always remain the same, it represents stability and security to him.“…every time I’d get to the end of the block I’d make believe I was talking to my brother Allie I’d say to him ‘Allie don’t let me disappears’…when I’d reach the other side of the street without disappearing, I’d thank him”(198). Holden suffers from extreme loneliness, however he does not anyone to get close to him, I believe that, yes , Holden has a problem, but it can be cured by giving Holden support, so he can build confidence within himself, so that one day he can be ready to open up to…

    Holden said yes and lied about his age. The when the prostitute came to his room, he changed his mind and asked her to leave. Another example of Holden’s hypocrisy is that he criticizes people but still asks them to sit down and have a little drink and talk! The only good thing that he does is that he visits his sister Phoebe once in awhile. He says she’s the only person he truly loves. It doesn’t stop here, he made numerous mistakes throughout the novel. One mistake he made is, when he was kicked out of Pencey, he didn’t tell his parents and when the found out that he was kicked out, he got in more trouble. Thinking before making a decision is a good thing to do. Another example is when Sally was crying, he started laughing for no reason, and that made Sally feel even worst. He needs to think about the consequences before doing something…

    Holden purposely alienates himself from others and doesn’t hold many close relationships. He displays lack of interest in his education. It is not straight forward, but Holden believes he has no future, does he even want one? Detachment is also represented when he fails out of every school he is sent to. He rebels against those who wish for him to have a decent life. Mr. Antolini was one of those who cares and stated “ the mark of an immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one” which Holden takes advantage of . Holden is particularly introverted (Salinger 188). He wanders the city, passing hundreds of by standards, he is still all alone. Sure he wants to talk to people but he doesn’t know how to hold a proper conversation. He is a constant critic of others actions although his actions make him come off as an arrogant pest, therefore Holden isolates…

    He was also sort of a nasty guy. I wasn't too crazy about him, to tell you the truth.” Holden most likely hung out with people he did not like so that if he got kicked out of school he would not miss anyone he would leave behind. Throughout the book Holden also stated many times how he wanted to go out West and live in a cabin in the woods. The details in his fantasy of living in the West were constantly changing since he sometimes wanted to live in a cabin with Sally but other times he wanted to live as a deaf mute showing how he is not able to even commit to an imaginary future. At the end of the book Holden is walking in the street and can barely make it to each side of the road while he thinks about his dead brother Allie. This symbolizes Holden’s life since he only focuses on the present and struggles to make it through day-to-day life since he cannot commit to a future. Holden’s little concern for his future makes it more apparent that he cannot devote himself to a certain life style and even had a hard time maintaining a certain attitude due to the fact that he constantly reassured himself and said things like: “really” or “for…

Holden comes on strongly with just about every woman he meets for example Sally Hayes, Sunny, and Jane Gallagher. Sally Hayes is a longtime friend of Holden’s and grew up together. Holden is extremely attracted to Sally and even dreams of running off to a cabin with her having children and living happily ever after. Holden says that he “felt like marrying her the minute I saw her” (138). Sunny is a prostitute that Holden paid just to talk to even after she started removing her clothes. When he met her pimp he knew what he was paying for, however never went through with it. Jane Gallagher is an old friend that Holden used to spend summers with and she is very important to him. He comes on strong to women at the bar and close friends but never actually does it. Holden is confused about sexuality, especially when it is homosexual. Holden strongly dislikes when a guy “flirts” a lot and is simply puzzled by the whole topic of sex. Sex is simply a confusing idea for any young teen, but for Holden it is a little harder. In the novel it implies that as a child he was sexual abused by his neighbors dad and was neglected by his own parents. He is also timid when it comes to being imamate with a women after his brother, Allie, lost his life to cancer. Phoebe is…

    Holden Caulfield, portrayed in the J.D. Salinger novel Catcher in the Rye as an adolescent struggling to find his own identity, possesses many characteristics that easily link him to the typical teenager living today. The fact that the book was written many years ago clearly exemplifies the timeless nature of this work. Holden's actions are those that any teenager can clearly relate with. The desire for independence, the sexually related encounters, and the questioning of ones religion are issues that almost all teens have had or will have to deal with in their adolescent years. The novel and its main character's experiences can easily be related to and will forever link Holden with every member of society, because everyone in the world was or will be a teen sometime in their life.…

    He also details that the events occurring last winter were what inspired him to reach out for help. By doing this, Holden is contrasting the vast majority of the actions he makes throughout his madman experience. One of his main grievances with the people around him are that they are, as he frequently claims, “phony.” To Holden, just about everybody can be called a phony, particularly those his age and above. Of the many people he has opportunities to form relationships with, Holden only appears to care about two people: his deceased brother Allie and his younger sister Phoebe, both of whom are prepubescent children. These relationships exist to emphasize Holden’s lack of ability to let go of the past and develop as a person over the course of the book. He has an unhealthy admiration of their childlike innocence, which prompts him to act as immaturely as possible. Subsequently, he tries to show his maturity by making exceptionally poor choices such as getting drunk and hiring a prostitute. Whenever his actions have consequences, he blames the “phony” world around him instead of himself, which motivates him to alienate himself from others. Salinger’s main goal in characterizing Holden is to show how…

    Holden Caulfield’s uncompleted calls with the people he says he is going to call may symbolize his uncompleted education and his seemingly incapability of completing anything. Holden’s numerous failed calls seems to be an accurate description of his education and his inability to follow through on his words. He decides to call many people throughout the novel, and fails to do so, especially in trying to call Jane Gallagher. Again to after the piano bar: “Finally what I felt like, I felt like giving old Jane a buzz . . .But when I got inside the phone booth, I wasn’t much in the mood anymore” (195). When asked about education by old Spencer, Holden says that “[Pencey] is about the fourth school [he’s] gone to” (13). Holden decides to call many people and doesn’t follow through on many occasions, just like his education, dropping out of four different schools. Holden also cannot focus during lectures, though he claims that the class is interesting which leads to his failure in Mr. Spencer’s class. Not only does his education seem to be incomplete, Holden also cannot finish anything else. Throughout the whole novel, Holden says that he will do something, but he often does not follow through. One of these examples was when the prostitute came into his hotel room. Holden says to the prostitute, “I don’t feel very much like myself tonight. . . but do you mind very much if we don’t do it” (125). Holden could not even complete his request for a prostitute. He asks for a…

    Holden delivers his story in a passive voice and to end the story he decides to stop speaking of his past because of the intense emotions that come over him. Holden delivered his life story in a unique style because of his rare emotions. One of the many unique emotions Holden has is sadness this is clear in the book because of his constant declaration of depression and overall negativity. Holden is not only sad he is also angry but instead of expressing his anger he just wears his red hunting hat and walks with "confidence." All of these extremely unnecessary and exaggerated emotions come from the death of Allie. The death of Holden's little brother Allie affected Holden's actions and attitudes negatively.…
