"It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody"????
When I first picked up?"The Catcher In The Rye", I thought that this was just going to be another philosophical sort of classic that would bore you to death and ramble on and on about stuff?no one cared about or upheld (ie.?The Moon And Sixpence).?????
But the first sentence struck me dumb.?"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing that you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel going into it, if you want to know the truth"I have never seen a style of writing so pioneering and out-of-the-blue as this.?????
The Mentality of The Bad Kid????
To be honest, Holden Caulfield, the narrator,?uses a lot of profane language?and?seems to go out of his way to commit all sorts of mischief during the two?days after he is expelled from school. Failing all his subject and literally flunking ALL his tests, he only succeeds in Literature, which suggests a wild and untamed romanticism contained within him.?He seems to perfectly fit the "Bad Kid" stereotype.?????
The one thing Holden seems to hate the most is restriction. He hates to follow any rule not made up by himself, and as any Bad Kid will do, he repells such rules and doesn't fit into the normal pattern of kids his age.?????
Here's a?particularly meaningful?paragraph where Holden voices a rare compliment:????"He?was just singing for the hell of it, you could tell.?The cars zoomed by, brakes screeched all over the place,?his parents paid no attention to him,?and he kept on walking through the curb?and singing 'If a body?catch a body coming through the rye.'?It made me feel better. It made me?feel not so depressed any more"????It's as if Holden marches to another rhythm of his own. He's humming, just like the neglected little boy he admires, in an entirely different tone while oblivious to his surroundings.?????He doesn't fit in, because he?has a curious, jumping?rhythm to his thoughts, because he loves to be silly just for the sake of rebellion, because he only does things when he's "in the mood", not when he's forced to.?????
So, perhaps the?Bad Kid stereotype is a misnomer for Holden.?He's more like a lost?teenager trying to balance rebellion?with an?incipient?maturity, and a?youthful silliness with a?truthfulness unique to him.?????
The Scatterplot Thoughts????
Structured in a series of thought-like events,?this story jumps from one event to another, often inserting flashbacks or profanity-filled discussions?within full-fledged stories.????
This strengthens?the point that Holden marches to a different?rhythm than?most others, and that even in?English class, he?strays from a pre-determined topic and digresses.?????
A typical example is how Holden loves to digress into?talking about the?fate of the ducks in Central Park in wintertime.?????" 'Well,?you know the ducks that swim around in it??In the?springtime and all? Do you happen to know where they goin the wintertime, by?any chance?'...'????How the hell should I know?', he said. 'How the hell should I know a?stupid thing like that?' "????"I was wondering?if it would be frozen over when I go home, and if it was, where did the ducks go.?I?was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and?frozen over."????
However, most of the people he asks?feel like he's playing a practical joke on them, and responds with snarling attitudes and a slight annoyance.?How lonely it feels?to be surrounded by dispassionate people.?????
They cannot accept him and?his ducks, because Holden's mind set is that of a child, while the rest of the world around him have the mind sets of adults.??
