No one‚ that’s who. I’m the wolf in this forest. No one ever comes through here except for some wild dogs or squirrels. Those squirrels just kill me! They jump at the slightest movement. I sometimes chase like I’m gonna eat them or something—to get a kick out of it. Not that I’d have done

Entry One Quote: “... and all that David Copperfield kind of crap but I don’t feel like going through it if you want to know the truth... my parents would have about two hemorrhages a piece it I tell anything pretty personal about them.” (Page 1) Response: This excerpt makes me very curious about his family members. The tone makes me believe that Holden probably is ashamed by them or he doesn’t like them when he describes them as “crap”. His parents’ attitude toward telling others personal stories

Similar observations are made by academic writer and author Sarah Graham in her book entitled Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. In this book‚ Graham addresses a variety of reading techniques‚ themes‚ and comparisons/contrasts in regards to Salinger’s most popular novel‚ but she specifically addresses the main theme of Holden’s attempt to escape the phony 1950’s materialistic focused society surrounding him. Graham begins her take on this theme of escaping society with a chapter on Holden’s rebellion:

Holden notices two nuns with cheap looking suitcases. He immediately judges them based on the appearance of their suitcases.Holden says that he doesn’t like cheap suitcases because they do not look as nice. He is not just talking about suitcases‚ he means people who are in different economic positions than his.

Do you know anybody that acts differently when they are alone‚ or with people they do not know‚ than they do when they are around their friends and family? Perhaps you act this way. A Separate Peace and The Catcher in the Rye are different in the idea that in most cases‚ while Holden is alone he is very extroverted‚ but when he is around people he is very introverted. Gene is the direct opposite; when he is alone or around strangers he is introverted and reserved‚ but when he is with his friends

In the novel‚ Catcher in the Rye adolescence is shown throughout the novel in the character Holden Caulfield. Holden Caulfield is stuck in a grey area where he isn’t so much a child anymore but he’s also wouldn’t be classified as an adult.

That after they lost that child it might have become too painful to keep Holden around which is why they
