This review is from: Max Notes J. D. Salinger's the Catcher in the Rye (Max Notes Series) (Paperback)
Like most other high school book notes, this book spends much of the time on plot summary.There are, however, a few theories and insights which I have not found anywhere else: --Breath is a symbol of the spirit. Holden is out of breath from smoking, Hold accidentally blows cigarette smoke into the nuns' faces, and the maid breathes on the family food. --The cap is a consolation prize for failure. --Holden has greater respect for those whose religious beliefs are inconvenient. That's why he thinks highly of the nuns, but comments disparagingly of the philanthropist undertaker, "I can just see the big phony bastard shifting into first gear and asking Jesus to send him a few more stiffs."

tha catcher in the rye,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catcher in Rye (Br) (Pbk)(Oop) (Bloom's Notes) (Paperback)
The catcher in the rye is a great book teenage people should read, This book is a classic for many reasons. One important is the fact how easily people can relate to the character (Holden) in the book Holden often expresses his confusion and loneliness throughout the story, which many teens can look back on and relate. The story happens in new York city in a period of 4 days .I truly recommend this book because I loved the way Sallinger wrote it making everything so real and the way he describes everything .He makes the reader relate to the story that is what makes it so special.
