The Catcher in The Rye
So far the book The Cather In The Rye has been interesting and it makes you question a lot. While Holden is narrating he usually says something and goes into that little subject and then goes back to explaining. The author makes Holden think a lot about how life is going on and of his past life. Sometimes in the book when he is thinking or talking I question some of it, because the things Holden says aren't very typical.Now that I am further in the book Holden has left his school Pencey and has travel around a lot in the short period of time. First he check himself out in a hotel to have a place to rest and leave his few belongings he had brought from Pencey. Later Holden started going to restaurants and take drink even though he was a minor and tried flirting with some women but wasn't very successful. Holden kept himself busy but he kept saying he felt depressed and alone because he'd always keep thinking what his parent reaction would be when they found out that he was kicked out of school again. All of this shows that the conflict is clearly man vs. self because of his lack to work harder and avoiding his parents, he is scared of the outcome.
I love this book! It is very complicated and definitely makes you think a lot! I was a little confused by your last sentence in the first paragraph. Was that a typo?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what do you think the theme of this story is?
I just updated the last sentence sorry I didn't realized it was not written correctly. In my opinion the theme or message of this story would be about how the world is like. A few examples to give that Holden talked about is fake people, missing someone, and experiencing love.
