    In the beginning of the story, Holden introduces the hat as being red and floppy, and he purchases it in a store in New York when the fencing team traveled to the big city. In this part of the story, Holden wants to connect with Allie and does so by wearing on a red hunting hat, which is a connection to his brother's red hair. Another reason Holden bought the hat is to use it as an act of defiance against the fencing team. He doesn't want to seem phony like the rest of the team, so he retaliates by wearing the hat everywhere. On the other hand, whenever he is around a crowd or he doesn't want to be noticed, Holden takes the hat and shoves it in his pocket. By trying not to be phony, Holden turns out to be the people he hates when he wears the red hunting hat.…

    The hat comforts him in many ways. It serves as a camouflage from the outer world as well as an attention grabber. Moreover as an object that links him to his family especially his deceased brother Allie, and his sister Phoebe, the two persons he unconditionally shows love for since they are both red headed. Like when he uses it while writing Stradlater’s composition about Allie’s baseball mitt. Also it represents himself as a child and it is strongly linked to a main theme in the book: childhood. We can assume that because he takes it off when he’s on his way to a bar and at the hotel. At the end of the book the hat becomes a pure symbol of the Phoebe and Holden feeling for each other. The following excerpt justifies it: “Then all of a sudden she gave me a kiss” and “Then she did—it damn near Killed me—she reached in my coat pocket and took out my red hunting hat and put it on my head.”…

    1940 Halo Hat

    I’ve been waiting to show you this project for a long time and I finally got my hair to work out long enough (thanks to a sideways clipped bang extension) to take a decent photo of my finished hat (above) so that I could complete the post. I’m not entirely sure what you would call this style of hat exactly. I know that it resembles a “halo hat”, but a true halo hat has a band almost like a huge beret, so that’s not it. I’m going to go with “1940’s large brim hat”. I became inspired to try this out when I was at the thrift store a couple of weeks ago and saw a hat partially sticking out from under one of the racks. It was covered in dust and looked like it had been kicked all around the store before it ran and hid under some hanging sweaters.…

    To begin, when reading the novel one seems to come upon Holden‘s red hunting hat many times while reading. This hunting hat demonstrates Holden’s need for safety and comfort. He was deprived of it when he was a child; for nobody ever asked him how he felt about his younger brother death and his moving to different schools. The assurance one object can create is immense and that’s exactly what it did for Holden. Holden decides to leave Pencey early and heads to New York City. In cab he puts on his hat and says “I’d put on my red hunting hat when I was in the cab, just for the hell of it, but I took it off before I checked in” (61). This quote illustrates how Holden feels the need to wear the hat in order to feel safe. He was out in New York City with nowhere to turn too and he had no place to go where he would feel welcomed. The hat seemed to give him a sense of ease, but with that comfort there is a price to pay because he also felt insecure about how people will perceive him while wearing the hat. the red hunting hat is Holden's desire to be unique and keep his individuality. Not many people will walk down the street wearing a red hunting hat, especially the way Holden wears it. Holden always wore the hat a certain way. "I put my red hunting hat on, and turned the peak around to the back, the way I like it..." (52). Holden always put his hat on this way, showing he is clearly different from the world. Usually when Holden is wearing…

    In J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in The Rye Holden uses his red hat as a form of protection and comfort as well as a distinguishing characteristic. Holden struggles toWhen Holden goes back to his room after talking to Old Spencer he begins to think about the red hat he purchased in New York City that he is wearing. He states, “just after I lost all the goddam foils…..The way I wore it, I swung the old peak way around to the back very –corny, I’ll admit it but I liked it that way. I looked good in it that way” (18). Holden knows that hat is a bit much, however Holden doesn’t care. He knows the hat looks corny, but he welcomes it because he desires individuality. Holden buys the red hat after making a big mistake to feel innocent and childlike similar to his younger siblings who have bright red hair. Holden needs to feel innocent and also be self-acceptant while also remaining an individual. Next, when Holden is walking back to the hotel from Ernie’s he puts on his hunting hat. He self-consciously thinks, “I took out my red hunting hat out of my pocket and put it on-I didn’t give a damn how I looked. I even put the ear flaps down” (91). Holden has to remind himself that he doesn’t care what people think of him even though in actuality he does. Holden knows that people will think he is different for wearing the hat, and even though he cares he doesn’t want to others to know because in his mind that hat is one of the things that distinguishes him from the “phonies” in the world. Holden is essentially trying to convince himself that his different from others. Overall, the hat is symbolic of his need for an emotional connection vs. his need for self-reliance and isolation.…
