The Catcher In The Rye: Themes And Symbols



The theme that the world has an outward appearance that seems fair and perfect
but really they're as Holden put it "phonies." This is shown countless amount of
times in his journey through New York and even before he left. The setting is in
the 1950's; so I'm pretty sure that he didn't encounter any transvestites,

I guest I have to
take back my sentence about transvestites in the opening paragraph. Second he
saw a couple squiring water and "they were in hysterics the whole time," a
little strange. You see the outside of the hotel represents what society is or
tries to be, all nice and neat. And the people acting silly in the rooms are
what we a really like. Im not saying we are all perverts but we all have two

Since I'm will into the second page and it's past my bed time or at lest it
feels like it is this is the last one for this theme. The one I had in mind is
the one the date he had with Sally. From the jump she was phony. Holden ...
