Anyway, he really drove me crazy while I was reading all about him, but after a while I started to miss him. I mean he can never get really sexy with a girl.

He'll probably be the kind of guy who always talks about how many miles he gets in his goddam car.

He's always talking about how annoying everyone else is and how he wants to save kids and run away to live in the goddam woods, but he does the same thing everyone else does. And he always talks about his dead brother and how great his goddam sister is and all. He goes around talking to kids and trying to give girls the time. The Catcher in the Rye - what does it mean?Ĭatcher in the Rye is about some phony named Holden Caulfield. Old Phoebe didn't say anything for a long time." I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I'd just be the CATCHER IN THE RYE and all. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're runni ng and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. "I thought it was "If a body meet a body,"' I said 'Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. It is "If a body meet a body coming through the rye." I didn't know it then, though. 'It's "If a body meet a body coming through the rye"!' old Phoebe said 'It's a poem. 'You know that song, "if I body catch a body comin' through the rye? I'd like -'

"'You know what I'd like to be? I mean if it'd be my goddamn choice'"? It's full of refernces to "Sex", lot's of swearing, and a few refernces to "Drugs", and full of " Alchohal" It was banned by many high schools, and is probaly proclaimed the most banned book in the last century. I loved " The Catcher in the Rye" when i read it on my own, but now that my teachers RUINED it for me, i kinda try to avoid it.Ĭatcher in the rye is about a kid named Holden Cualfield going through life over a few days period. I dont like reading it in school beacause my teachers read way into all the meanings and symbolism and crap.

Its overlooked by most people because its a " school book"
