4. SUMMARY TITLE EXPLANATION  Holden is trying to deal with his life because it is going downhill. He has to deal with the loss of his brother and getting kicked out of school, so he goes to New York just to find that he has to deal with becoming more of an adult.  Holden wants to be a catcher in the rye, which is that he helps and protects the youth when the are in danger or in trouble, because he couldn’t be there to help his little brother when he died of cancer.

5.  Loneliness- Holden is always lonely and by himself. He always wants to find someone to associate with, but when he does find someone to talk to he always gets annoyed.  The painfulness of growing up-Holden got kicked out of school because he was failing 4/5 classes. He also had to deal with the loss of his brother Allie causing him to think that he had to grow up faster.

6.  Metaphor- “ I’m very yellow about those things.” pg.100 he uses this metaphor because someone was knocking on Holden’s door while he was smoking a cigarette and he didn’t want to get caught, so I think that he was embarrassed about it or just scared.  Imagery- “ God, my old heart was damn near beating me out of the room.” pg. 101 he uses this imagery in the book because Holden was very scared when the pimp came back to the hotel room about the money because he told Holden that it was five dollars a throw instead of ten dollars, so Holden was just very scared and wanted to just get out of there.  Hyperbole- “ I’d just about broken her heart.” pg.74 he uses a hyperbole to indicate that he had broken his dance-mate Marty’s heart because he had lied to her saying that he saw a famous movie star, but there really wasn’t anyone there and Marty was all upset about it. So the girl was just very sad.  Metonymy- “ I felt like giving somebody a buzz.” PG.59 he uses a metonymy because Holden said that he wanted to give someone a buzz meaning that he wanted to call someone.  Irony- “ If theres one thing I hate, it’s the movies. Don’t even mention them to me.” pg.2 what is ironic about this is that Holden later on in the book ends up going to the movies with his roommate (Ackley) that he hates.

7.  His emotional description is that he doesn’t really care about things  He shows very little care towards his future  He was a very heavy smoker  16 years old  He’s independent  Doesn’t like to express his feelings or personal life with people  “I TOLD HIM I NEVER DISSCUSSED MY PERSONAL LIFE WITH HIM.” PG.47

8.  Holden’s Dog poop- Holden dealing with the loss of his brother is something that he really didn’t handle that well. He was only thirteen years old when he had died. Holden basically went crazy; he broke all the windows in the garage the night he died and he slept in the garage as well. He even tried to break all the windows in the station wagon just for the hell of it.  Quote- “it was a very stupid thing to do, I'll admit, but I hardly didn’t even know I was doing it, and you didn’t know Allie.” PG. 39

9.  Hat- comfort, security  Ducks- the curiosity of youth and curiosity to discover the world.  The catcher in the rye-he wants to help and protect kids  The museum of natural history-unchanging and everlasting  Baseball mitt- Allie his little brother died and he owned the baseball mitt talked about in the story

10. JASMINEESAMANTHA  “the mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” – Wilhelm Stekel pg. 188  Mr. Antolini gave this quote to Holden because he said that he saw Holden as the man who would die nobly for some highly unworthy cause. I think that the teacher was right because Holden didn’t really care about anything that much all he really cared about was himself, so I kind of was agreeing with the teacher about that. Plus, I see my self as the person that want to live humbly for one  “I’m just going through a phase right now. Everybody goes through phases and all, don’t they?” pg. 15  I like this quote because I feel that everyone does go through phases in life whether they are good or bad, and what we have to do is to just get through them and make the best of them. And just like Holden’s dog poop you have to live with it.

11. JASMINEESAMANTHA  I’ve leaned gained and discovered a lot in this book. I learned that to never take anything for granted and life. I discovered that growing up really fast is not really all that good as it seems, it really is difficult. I just learned that I should just do the right thing in every situation and try my best to succeed In everything that I try to achieve in.  What I've learned and discovered while reading catcher and the rye is that when your going through a tough time you have to try and get through it because in the end you achieving that goal will be, and even though it will be hard you have to trust yourself and do what you have to do to succeed.
