        <description><![CDATA[Whenever Holden seems to be at loose ends Holden calls on friends from the past whether it be former teachers or former classmates. These contacts are perhaps made when Holden is closest to realizing that he is spiraling out of control, or perhaps they are his attempts to anchor himself in reality. So we don't know why Jane doesn't answer Holden in chapter 18. Maybe she's not home, or maybe she simply realizes he represents too much drama....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Holding considers that his older brother has sold himself out by sacrificing his artistic talent to acquire bourgeouis status and a comfortable life. The reader cannot know, though, if this is really true or not since Holding is not exactly a reliable narrator. To him most everybody is "phony" and it seems as if Holding is subconsciously jealous of the success he himself has not attained. Since success is beyond his reach (or at least for the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Holden says:

After I shut the door and started back to the living room, he yelled something at me, but I couldn't exactly hear him. I'm pretty sure he yelled "Good luck!" at me. I hope not. I hope to hell not. I'd never yell "Good luck!" at anybody. It sounds terrible, when you think about it.

It's a phony thing to say.  It's so empty, so overused that it means nothing.  It's like his mom sending his ice skates as a gift.  It's like the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On the surface, Holden might appear to be a dubious hero at best, but what do we find if we dig a little deeper. On the surface we know he has been kicked out of yet another school (Okay not kicked out, but they did ask him not to return.) He has minimal responsibilities, and can't even manage to complete those successfully like when he forgets the sports gear for which he was responsible. He chooses to blame all those around him for his...]]></description>

Holden tries to save all the kids in his dream, he stood in a field of rye with his arms out trying to prevent the children from falling off a cliff. He later realizes, while watching his sister on the carousel, that not all things in life can be controlled and Holden accepts his past and life itself.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Just after writing Catcher, J.D. Salinger told Time magazine: “Some of my best friends are children...In fact, all of my best friends are children.”  Both author and narrator are, dare I say, obsessed if not with children (creepy?), then certainly with childhood.
Salinger, through Holden's narration, introduces one of the great youthful voices in American literature, rivaled only by Twain's Huck.  It's a youthful, teenage voice with an...]]></description>
