The Catcher In The Rye
Born on January 1, 1919, in the city of New York, J.D. Salinger breathed his first breath of life. Later the young Jewish boy attended several public schools before he entered McBurney School. Years later he was enrolled at the Valley Forge Military Academy where he graduated in1936. Then he went to New York University for a year but left school to travel Europe, where he wrote his first stories. In the fifties Salinger was considered to be the most accomplished writer in American fiction. In 1955, Salinger married Claire Douglers, later having two children (Margaret Ann and Matthew,) and divorced in 1967. In 1951 Salinger wrote his most famous work, The Catcher In The Rye. The story of The Catcher In The Rye takes the reader through the mind and viewpoint of Holden Caulfield, a resident in a rehabilitation center, who tells his story of how he landed in the place, in which he now resides. During Holden's story, the reader hears how Holden was kicked out of Pencey Prep and makes a youthful decision to leave his failures of Pencey Prep behind and takes off to New York City. While in the city Holden stays at a very fancy hotel, hopping from place to place, as he attempts to fill the void of desire. In the end Holden finally feels that his aspiration cannot be fulfilled by the grandness of the city and goes home to the family apartment. There his young sister confronts him as to why he is home earlier than normal. Feeling sorry for her brother, Phoebe gives Holden money so that he may venture on to finish his quest of fulfillment. After leaving the apartment, Holden sees the mistake he will be making and calls up his close friend, Mr. Antolini. Mr. Antolini allows Holden to come over for dinner and to spend the night, but waking up in the middle of the night to see Mr. Antolini by his bedside, frightens Holden into thinking Mr. Antolini is hitting on him. Being so alarmed, Holden rushes out the door, leaving the apartment at once and he spends the night sleeping in the train station. The next day Holden goes to find Phoebe, looking for her at the playground, the museum, and the school. When he finds her, he takes her to the carousel. The book ends with Holden telling the reader of how when he is sitting on the bench, watching his sister, that he is able at that moment to see the true joys of life. Going through the story the reader feels the choking moments of hypocrisy. The story eases the reader through each level of Holden's failure, following the downward dark path of self-death. In the novel The Catcher In The Rye, author J.D. Salinger creates a window into the mind of distraught Holden, a boy in a world of hypocrisy, failure, and on the path to suicide.
While attending Pencey Prep Holden explains to the reader that it is all fake that nothing about the school really is real. Pencey Prep is merely the most recent in series of unsatisfactory academic experience for him. "One of the biggest reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phones. That's all. They were coming in the goddamn windows. I can't stand the stuff. It drives me crazy. It makes me so depressed I go crazy." (Kaplan 77). Holden feels that he is entrapped by this fakeness because in a way it forces a person to look at oneself and have to face reality. In doing this action, Holden is forced to see Pencey Prep as it really is, which is a false front for a stuck up school system with old and redundant rules. Another place in the world in which Holden lives in phoniness is New York and its' people. While visiting the club in the city, Holden runs into Ernie, whom jumps Holden's phoniness scale because he takes what he is good at and puts a fake face on it. "Ernie a big fat colored guy that plays the piano. He's a terrific snob and he won't hardly even talk to you unless you're a big shot or a celebrity or something, but he can really play the piano. He's so good he's almost corny, in fact." (Salinger 80). Holden feels upset by Ernie's performance by seeing what Ernie really is and seeing that Ernie forces his talent instead of enjoying it. As the reader goes on through the story they notice that Holden himself is a hypocrite. Throughout Holden's story he makes up lies about whom he is and what he is doing which is exactly what other phonies are doing, making him what he hates. "Holden's saying of 'and all', 'or something', 'or anything' doesn't give the sense of him truly speaking his mind. His words are very loose not to tell the read that he has no idea on a subject but wants to say more on the topic, which signify never happens as if Holden doesn't trust the reader." (Costello 84). Salinger wrote Holden so that the reader could look more to the moral of not looking at others problems but at ones own. In the end, the reader's eyes are full opened to see that they and Holden live in a world of hypocrisy and all are hypocrites.
Holden's story involves level after level of failure for him. One of these levels in which failure hits hard at him is in Pencey Prep. When Holden is kicked out for bad grades and having lost the fencing equipment, it is a heavy blow to his esteem.
"Dear. Mr. Spencer, That is all I know about the Egyptians. I can't see to get very interested in then although you lectures are very interesting. It is all right with me if you flunk though as I am flunking everything else except English anyway. Respectfully yours, Holden Caulfield." (Salinger 12) Due to Holden failing over and over in school, he has lost all hope and acts with a front of not caring. Holden also has a level of failure with his family in communication and to be able to tell them how he feels. Since Holden rarely speaks with he's family he feels alienation, which leads him to being, depressed about his many a failures. Holden's depression is so bad, that he feels a complete sense of alienation from the world around him. He begins to pray to his dead brother, Allie whom is also another cause of Holden's depression. Feeling his time in this world is at an end Holden returns to his family's apartment, gives back Phoebe the money she offered to him, and tells her his good bye. (Trownbridge 46-47) Holden feels there is no one to support him. His failure strikes again while realizing he should have sent more time with his family, including his brother, Allie, before he died. Responsibility is one of Holden's biggest failures of his time. Holden is forever running away from responsibility. For example running away to the city instead of coming home to face his family about being kicked out of his third school. Holden is scornful of all and any conventions as a "very big deal". He and, though he failed all his courses except English, he has his own high, which are just standards of literature. (Geisman 58) Again showing how Holden darts from his responsibilities by failing to truly let himself see how important his grades matter. As the story flows on, the reader travels with Holden through all his levels of failure wondering if Holden will ever see the light.
Holden is on the pathway to suicide throughout the story. The first way Holden is on this path is by his inability to move on. Holden doesn't like change; he doesn't want to grow up. Holden tries to be a boy instead of the man he needs to be. Holden wants to stay a child. He doesn't want to face the facts of adulthood. Each time one of Holden's ideal images of himself was tested by reality would fail. The reality of the Holden many have seemed dark and gloomy but him always pushing himself away from other but in fact he just still wants to be a child. (Trowbridge 48) Since Holden's world is changing around him, Holden feels very pressured. He feels he is not himself anymore but another person that he does not know, which can be very dangerous for someone like Holden. Another reason that is leading Holden down the path of suicide is his sexual problems. When Holden hits the nightlife in New York City, he tries to pick up women to sleep with and each night he spends in his bed alone. Presuming that the male is synonymous with the human, critics absorb the female into the male, particularly in their treatment of Holden embarks "on a dream" that is universally adolescent":" the offer of unbelievable possibilities of sexual adventure and satisfaction." Way does not perceive this as a male's sense of adventure, but rather, he takes it to be normative;" (Schriber 98) Unable to have sexual intercourse, Holden feels he is not normal, that something is wrong with him. The last reason Holden is on the path to killing himself is his depression. Holden is depressed by failure, sex, his appearance, by his brother's death, and by the change around him. By the end of the story, the reader has seen his familiar social world questioned, shaken, only to be reconstituted as an inevitable fate. Having been drawn to Holden's side we are finally drawn to his mode of perception and defense. (Rowe 58) The reader sides with Holden because the reader knows that at any moment it could be their world, so the ready pities Holden. The reader wonders throughout the book can Holden be stopped on his path?
J.D. Salinger's book, The Catcher In The Rye creates a window into the mind of the distraught Holden, a boy in a world of hypocrisy, failure, and on the path to suicide. Holden being held prisoner in this world of hypocrisy which lives each day spinning lies of deceit. Through the last day at Pencey Prep, Holden views trends of untruthfulness to one's self, with the treating of girl, sport, and fashions of ideas. While in the city of New York, he witnesses the phoniness of Ernie a piano man who is so good that it seems "corny." He also sees the fault wall of fakeness, as he goes on his date with Sally, acting as if they are deeply caring for one another. Even Holden, himself is a hypocrite as he paints lie of deception about who he is as a person. Another topic that motivates the reader in The Catcher In the Rye is the subject of failure. Holden falls into failure in school with bad grades, the losing the fencing equipment, and being kicked out of yet, his third school. The failing streak continues with Holden not being able to communicate with his family and his continually running away from responsibility. The last point J.D. Salinger hits on in his book is how his character, Holden Caulfield, is on the path to suicide. J.D. Salinger shows these points by how Holden is unable to move on with handling defeat and his brother's death. Holden also has a problem with his sexuality and a homophobe being unable to pick up women constantly, and seeing that he is not able to handle the action of intercourse. The Catcher In the Rye also shows the warning signs of a person about to commit suicide with depression, the loss of appetite and sex drive, and the giving back of gifts. In the end, The Catcher In the Rye creates many windows of insights that sheds light on the paths of others whether the reader will listen to it or not.
Do you know what my biggest flaw is, I do. It is drawing on line paper all the damn time; I can't seem to help myself. It just always there in front of me at school or at home. I'm sorry. =_=
My name is Dr. Coleman and for the past seven years I have tracked the plague that has been known as Hammur. It all started with the flooding of New Orleans, in 2006. Along with destroying homes the hurricane had brought dead bodies in advice stage of decay from graveyards, those who had died within the flood, and other places as such. Those that live through Katrina were forced to live among sewage and these dead bodies. Many grew sick from the first stage of Hammur while others appeared to grow healthier and be uninfected.
The first known carrier of the disease was Mick Banker, a local drunk. He was not noted for any of the symptoms so he was allowed to leave quarantine. His first act out of quarantine was to shove away at a local liquor store. It was at this same store that Mr. Banker threw up in the bathroom spreading the epic disease for a second wave. Hammur mutated during the second way to a more vicious form, spending through the United States, Mexico, and Canadian all at once. The disease swept the world killing billions in just weeks.
2.Short Lived
The symptoms were more visible in second wave making it easier to spot. The victim becomes hyper sensitive by headaches due to change in light and pressure, pelvic pain in both male and female, nausea or vomiting, signs of shock, such as fainting, and the most noticeable is discharge of blood or pus from eyes. When the blood discharges from the victim’s eyes, Hammur is ready to move onto its next stage. These factors include: continuous high fever, breathing trouble, uncontrollable drooling, vomiting blood or black materials, dehydration, blood in stool, and cramping. The least stage is death.
Hammur is pass from person to person through contact. Contacts such as touch someone’s blood or saliva and sexual transmission. Hammur is not an air born disease. At first when Red Cross came across the disease they thought it to be an off stain of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but because of the large dispose of liquid from the victim they could not use the normal quaranttine.
3.A New World
The oddity of Hammur is that children who have not undergone the process of puberty are immune to the disease. An example of these finding is a little girl by the name of Sarah Palin. Sarah was found in her West Virginia home surrounded by her whole infected family. The Hammur state within the household was at stage two. After eliminating the threat of infection and burning the bodies, Sarah was moved to Fort Summit for farther research.
Children are now used as ambassadors in world trade and business affairs, since the plague does not affect them in any way or form. No cure had been found to stop Hammur. The world has healed itself through change. I fear the world will never be the same.
Dr. Coleman died on October 21, 2016 from the Hammur Plague. These are one of his last articles he had written before he died.
