5 | * I took two readings of ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'' to understand the whole point of it. At first, I thought all that went on was Holden saying "sonuvabitch" and whining about phonies. Only upon reading it again that I learned that it was a tale of Holden stuck between childhood and adulthood. |
6 | ** Another popular theme is that Holden suffers from PTSD from his brother's death, and the end is him finally realizing he needs help. |
7 | * In the beginning of the book, Holden says that he is a liar and he frequently lies to people who hold authority over him. In the ending of the book, Holden reveals that he is in a mental institution and is revealing his story in a position of authority. With this in mind, how much of the story can be interpreted as the truth of what happened to Holden? |
