2、out his such a special experience. It not only vividly depicted a delicate restlessness of the middle class childrens depressed, lonely and cynical spirit world,and the psychological characteristics of adolescents a mass of contradictions, but also criticized the the hypocrisy in the adult society.

3、The beginning of the story from Pencey school. Pencey middle school is very famous and has a great popularity in peoples minds, however, the hero describes the pencey middle school follow as Pencey is just as other schools,it cant cultivate talents at all. And I dont see any outstanding , intelligen

4、t and excellent students. Besides, he also said there are a plenty of thieves in pencey middle school. In holdens opinion, the most unforgivable thing in that school is fuilled with hypocritical people, especially the principal.He is very snobbish.When he sees ordinary parents,he just say hello to t

5、hem.While see the rich and powerful who drive a good car, he will talk with them enthusiasmly in a long time. Besides the disgusted Acle and Mr Rudd tower. The reason that Holden leaves pencey is not for he failed six subjects, but there are a lot hypocrite people.Even if there are endless glory and

6、 splendor, but the entire campus is indifferent and almost to be a no human world. There is no happiness in Holdens world.Even if he can feel happy, it is only a few people to give him. His reject good things, although it is a real concern. When his history teacher Spencer tells him that his parents

7、 are the best persons.He felt very disgusted, he heartily hates the word better. While its hard for me to imagine, as a child,why he could think so ugly about the world? Though there are many ugly things in this world, too. He even thinks some tiny little things very hateful. When he sees a boy who

8、is just like a guy in the street and get together with his girlfriend. If they laugh constantly, he thinks their laugh is simply but not funny.Seeing somebody else playing a tune, he also thinks the man is just show off his ability.Seeing a woman with a child is being moved and cry at the movies, he

9、 also considered a phony. He even boring to hate Christians. In Holdens eyes, all sorts of things is just a fake death of farce. When Holden sees the ugly side of life, he tells his loneliness without any reservation. This kind of loneliness is not a simple sadness in the sense of solitude, but it i

10、s not a person can really understand him. Although he hates Mr Rudd tower, he would also like to dance in front of him. I also need an audience and I also like to in front of others to show off myself This is the voice of his heart, he need to hear, to understand and not a elegantly false face and t

11、he soft greetings. Can a person feel happy without the audiences? The bus drivers wants him to throw snowballs, and he said he will not threw to anyone, but the bus driver doesnt believe. People just dont believe your words Holton said：“No one understands him. The meet between the old man and him is

12、 not happy, because their views are opposite.But one the other hand, he is very desire to communicate with the old man. According to our todays understanding, if the man is not bosom friend, it isnt necessary to explain. However he is too lonely, no one accompanies to him and talk to him,so he was v

13、ery lonely. Thus under inevitable loneliness, he even thought to find prostitutes and he just wants to talk with her, but the final result is being deceived and has also been beat by the rascal Maurice. In our opinion, holden isnt a good student, but he has innocence and kindness in his heart just l

14、ike other childrens. When he take a taxi for twice, he asked the driver that:”Where should shallow-water ducks go in the central park when the lake is frozen ?”This is a funny question.Holden concerned about ducks and nature.So he is also sympathetic. In Edmond hotel, when he saw a old man worked as

15、 the waiter.Then he thought it is very difficult to let an old man to do such a thing.Having encountered bad suitcase in hand, the two sister eat only bread and coffee for breakfast, he even still hate to eat salted fish eggs.And thought that when they didnt teach ,how can they take the old straw ba

16、sket to raise money in everywhere and will meet all kinds of situations, even attract by others despistion . From these things,we can conclude that he was very sympathetic. His brother and sister had a larger influence on holdens life.Alli have dead for a long time.On that day of Allis death , holde

17、n broken all of the windowsuntil his hands were bleeding. We can see that Alli ,as it were, the most important person in his life.This is not a fake. it is undoubtedly a huge strike for holden on her death. She wanted to escape from this world and to find her own spiritual home. He said to Sally:”Th

18、ey can go to the forest to built their own cabin by themselves and leave away from the people.Even their relativest come to visit them,they still dont welcome.” In fact, Holden doesnt hate this world, but hate something ugly. In Galveston, the poor James Kaiser was killed by a group of guys.However

19、that group of boys are still escaping.The world really has a dark side, and even today, although the state attaches great importance to the legal system, but there are still many people ignore the law under the various network of relationships. We dont have to worry about these, because frankly spea

20、king, we cant change the circumstances .Jsut like holden cant change the time, sometimes, wed better be ourselves.Holdens character is very complex, on the one hand, he himself has many problems, he criticizes people around him, but times displays as much phoniness, meanness and superficality as any

21、one else in the book. On the other hand, his spiritual world is innocent, he hates all phony things while seeks sincerity and love and he himself is a person full of love. He loves children, because children from falling into the cliff referring to the adult world which he associates with hypocrisy

22、and ugliness. He doesnt want children to step into the adult world; he wants them to stay innocent forever. That is why when he sees the word “fuck you” on the wall of Phoebes school he is so angry that he even wants to kill the guy who wrote it. His degeneration is in essence a kind of resistance,

23、because he doesnt want to wallow in mire with those guys he despises. “Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobodysaround-nobody big, I mean-except me. And Im standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I

24、have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff-I mean if theyre running and they dont look where theyre going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. Thats all Id do all day. Id just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know its crazy, but thats the only thing Id

25、really like to be.”This paragraph is the most famous part from the story.And to some extent,it reflects why the book is named by Catcher in the rye. Holden was those of a very troubled person who deserved our sympathy more often than our praise. A close look at what Holden did, nonetheless, revealed

26、 that he possessed very strong moral, compassionate instincts.
