    seem strange to attribute the theme of innocence to this story of a rebellious teenager who has been cornered in a world that is‚ through his eyes‚ materialistic and “full of phonies” (Salinger 131).

    “Where ignorance is bliss‚ /’Tis folly to be wise” comes from one of Thomas Gray’s works. What Gray means by this is that sometimes it is better to not know some things about life‚ and this time is when you are still young. You are not ridiculed for being innocent because everyone knows that you do not have as much experience as adults do. Thomas Gray misses this aspect of being a kid‚ but also knows that it is important to learn new things and to understand that the world is not perfect. In Toni
