How I Became Me

To begin, The Catcher in the rye whisky by J. D. Salinger is unique. The young is written from the perspective of a teenager who lives in New York in the 1950s.From the context in the beginning and the closing curtain of the watchword, Ill clean key you rough this madcap stuff that happened to me around last Christmas secure before I got pretty poop out and had to come out here and constrict it easy (page 1), I could probably tell you what I did after I went home, and how I got sick and every last(predic take in), and whatschoolIm supposed to go to next fall, after I ingest out of here, entirely I dont palpate same it (page 213), we scum bag infer that Holden Caulfield, the aforesaid(prenominal) teenager, is in amentalhospital.However, he tells the story through flash clog up of a lead-day achievement sometime before Christmas the year before. This is grotesque because most cleans c over much more time than three eld. This is one conceive why this novel is so unique. Although the novel is spread over only three days, we learn so much about the protagonist, and many other sections, because all Holdens thoughts and feelings, classifyicularly about other characters, during these three days is portrayed, no function is left out.My favorite take time off of the book is probably Holdens interaction with and verbal comment of Ackley in Chapter 3. This is probably my favorite part of the book because I can come to to the protagonist in that I begin to put up with my neighbor who fits the description of Ackley perfectly. Ackley is a rather nosy swain who comes over through a windowpane and without permission. He plays with all of Holdens possessions, and then puts them back in different locations.He cuts his nails all over Holdens room, stands in his reading come to converse to him, and he never brushes his teeth. I as fountainhead as enjoy not only this part, but also other descriptions of other characters, because the source has a t otally unique commission of describing people. He was exactly the kind of a guy that wouldnt get out of your light when you asked him to (page 21), He was one of those guys that think theyre universe a pansy if they dont break around forty of your fingers when they shake hands with you (page 87).Even though the novel The Catcher in the Rye is set in the fifties, I can still relate to the protagonist, as considerably as others around his age, because of the lingo. It makes the characters so human, and just about anyone can relate to that I found myself looking forward to Holden encounter a new character or happening upon an old acquaintance, to see what symbol of personality the author had given them. Also, in that respect is no brilliant sentence twist or sophisticated diction to this novel.The source this novel is so good is the dumfounding insights the author uses, which connects the reader to the characters in a way that is inimitable. Salingers wonderful insights are i ntensify by his strategic use of italics to foretell emphasis, which tells the reader the exact meaning and specter Salinger is attempting to portray as if the reader were to watch the spoken dialogue, In the first place, were twain practically children. And did you ever stop to think what youd do if you didnt get a crinkle when your money ran out?Wed starve to death. The full-page things so fantastic, it isnt even- (page 132). This is the type of novel that generates emotion, true, transparent emotion, from the reader, because they can connect so well to the characters. A reader would truly cry, separate if Phoebe, Holdens younger sister, were to die at the hold on whereas in other novels that a character dies in, less of an emotional impact is make on the reader. Finally, only one abundant event takes place that effects all the others, and that is Holden Caulfield flunking out of Pencey.All other events in the book are trivial. This keeps the plot simple overflowing so that the main focus is on the protagonists thoughts rather than actions. However, I think this novel is so excellent and one-of-a-kind because of the personality of the protagonist. He is easily bothered by the teeny-weenythings people do, God, how I hate it when person yells Good Luck at me when Im passing somewhere. (page 202), yet he loves to drive others crazy, You werent allowed to polecat in the dorm, but you could do it ate at night when everybody was asleep or out and nobody could smell the smoke. Besides, I did it to annoy Stradlater. It drove him crazy when you skint any rules. He never take in in the dorm. It was only me. (page 40). He doesnt attend to buy into religion, as he describes himself as an atheist. He also seems to be an existentialist as well. Every single thing he does is based upon whether he feels like it or not. Holden is a well-crafted character who could be a real person create verbally an autobiography he is so lifelike. I would definitely rec ommend this book to anyone.
