Catcher3

Holden and his little sister Phoebe have a really close relationship for siblings. Holden says that he can tell Phoebe anything and whenever he has nothing better to do, she's the person he wants to talk to. I think the reason him and Phoebe are so close is because Phoebe, in a way, takes the place of Allie, the younger brother Holden lost. I think he is close with Phoebe because he feels that is the only way to protect her.

I think the other person Holden would get close to would be Jane. I know everyone wants Jane to save Holden and make him change into a better person but i don't think that's going to be the case in this book. J.D. Salinger has a way to make you think one thing is going to happen but it falls through. I think Holden wants Jane to save him, but at the same time he doesn't. I think he doesn't want to get close with Jane because he is scared of losing someone else he cares about. I think the death of his younger brother Allie has affected Holden's life in ways he yet doesn't even understand.

As i keep reading Catcher, it gets better and better. I realized that all J.D. Salinger does is talk. He tells a story but not really. It's all about how he feel towards people and just everything that is running through his mind. I also love the fact that J.D. describes himself as someone who lies; everything he says can be a lie or it can be totally true. That's the thing I love about this book; you never know when he's telling the truth and it makes you wonder... how can someone go through life lying to themselves and people around them? The reason i think J.D. is always lying is because he is afraid to get too close to someone. And i think the reason he is scared to get close to someone is because he is scared of loosing them. I think J.D. a.k.a Holden is going to get lost in all the lies he is accumulating.

I love J.D. Salinger and his character interest me so much. The way he doesn't give a damn but does at them same time is exhilarating. You never know what he's thinking and what he's going to do next. J.D. lives his life and he doesn't let anyone or anything in the way.

Catcher

In the beginning, I didn't think I was going to like The Catcher in the Rye. However, as I began reading it I came to like it a lot. I love the way J.D. Salinger uses language that is not dull to read. I feel that J.D. Salinger makes it so that the reader is able to connect with the characters. He makes it so that the reader is also able to connect with him. I love the way he doesn't push things onto the girls he is with. If they say they don't want to do something he'll stop, unlike most boys. I enjoy reading Catcher in the Rye because J.D. is not afraid to let his true feelings out about how he feels about people. He is very straight forward and i love how he is so sarcastic.  I'm more than half way through the book, but i keep questioning why he named the title of the book The Catcher in the Rye.

I love how the main character Holden is really close with his younger sister. I'm able to relate to that because I'm really close with both my siblings and my sister just went to college. At times, I just need to pick up the phone and call her just like Holden wanted to call his little sister Phoebe. It's hard to lose someone really close to you. I've never lost a brother or sister, but I love how Holden keeps memories of his younger brother Allie in the back of his mind. And I love how he keeps Allies baseball mitt with the poems written on it.
