Dyan - 12/19/00 06:06:15 My Email:Dyan_Sublime@Hotmail.com City: Lincoln State: NE Country: US Have you read this book?: yes Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: 1.75 | Comments: You seem to somewhat understand the story, but not totally. You also had some grammar and spelling errors. You shouldn't capitalize words such as adult and depression. You mentioned some events that didn't have that much emphasis on the story. What makes the story is everything as a whole, although there are a few events that are a bit more important than others. Also, the letter to Stradlater had no writing tone of Holden whatsoever. Nice try though, sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I have a lot of resp ct for Catcher in the Rye. |

Mallory - 12/11/00 21:28:13 My URL:/glimmer_girl2000 State: MD Country: USA Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: THis was a great book. im in 9th grade and doing similar activities to what you have on your page. It would be alot more helpful if you were a little better at describing everything. all you said a bout phoebe is that shes 10. all you need to do to get th t is read 2 sentences. Phoebe is Holden's younger sister. She is ten years-old when the events of the novel take place. She is a very bright girl who at times can seem wise beyond her years. Holden is extremely fond of her. She confronts holden and says e likes nothing. She meets holden and they ride on the carousel and reaches for the brass ring. this makes holden cry because as i interpret it he is looking at her reaching for more in her life. you have a great page it could be more helpful though. i ca e here for additional reading and sources on my paper. it wasnt as good as its potential but ok. if you idoits are looking to cheat please kick yourselves then go to http://catcherguide.tripod.com/main.html its a great site. |

You should cover more topics like: plots & subplots, themes etc. Even though you attempted, these areas are lacking, and that information is more important than ready the summary over again. Keep the summary, but shorten it to important factss that you assume the average reader could miss. |

Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: one of the best i've ever read...influential...a ten. | Comments: ok bro, from the look of your contents page you get really mixed reviews across the board...so you probably think that's pretty normal...and a certain amount of criticism probably is... its cool to see someone out here making a site out of something worthwhile...but your site is poorly researched, very surfacy and basically...does not provide a very good picture to any visitor of what this book has to offer. you left out all mention of the book's controversial nature...ie why it has been banned in highschools across the us off and on since its publishing in 1951... you left out the book's connection to the murder of john lennon, and david chapman...and the FBI your quiz questions are really, really superficial and have nothing to do with the themes and concepts of the novel... people studying this page to better an exam mark may think they will do better, but they will undoubtedly do worse, for being distracted by the lack of depth offered by your explanations... sorry if i'm sounding altogether derogatory here, but i put a lot of hours into a book report on this, for which i received much acclaim from my teachers and a 100% grade, so i do consider myself a bit of an authority on the topic... hey, if you're interested, i could email you the entirety of my report...not to sound toity but i know the information in it could really, really better your site and help people out... i would probably have my own site for it but i don't spend much time on the comp... so if you're interested email me... congrats on making a worthwhile site...none for doing a half-assed job... oyea, you should probably delete some of the more nothing-to-say comments...christ, your comments list had to be at least fifty pages long! sed. |

Get with it - 06/09/00 23:47:28 | Comments: Hey Drew, your page was pretty good. It expressed your point of view and gave your opinions on the book. For all those who gave criticism you dont know what your talking about. First of all the book wasent that great it was predictable, and the views Hold n has on the world aren't always the case. Holden isen't the most convincing troubled teen and dosent ever comes to terms with the real world which most teens are able to do. Over all the book wasent that great there are better and it's Drew's opinions no yours, so stop telling him how to view a book. I agree with the kid who said, "If you want a book to tell you how to live read the Bible." |

I won't critize it that much cause it look like you did a lot of work on it, but some of your esseys and views of the book were confusing.

You have no idea what this book is about and your mental capacity lacks the ability to comprehend the moral atributes of this wonderful bokk... in short your site sux. I'm a junior in highschool an have read this book for and advanced english class just like yourself and I fully understand the symbolism and moral stature this book is trying to portray. If you didnt pick that up yet i think you should re-read the book or transfer out of that class o your because it obviously sucks big time. One more thing, you should delete that website of your because its an insult in the face of fine literature. Plus you cant spell for crap. |

Shane - 06/03/00 15:16:53 My Email:sheepie@hotpop.com City: Las Vegas State: Nevada Country: United States Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: I'm sorry to say, but after reading the book and your site, you've obviously missed the entire value of the book. Positive criticism, before posting anything on the web, I recommend you perform a spell check (especially if you plan on turning it in as sc ool work!). You obviously scored big points with your teacher by making your report accessible online, which I'm not sure if you deserved or not. The metaphoric value of this novel is beyond this site, and it's a sad thing you didn't get the message. I m not surprised though, many people who do read the book often times do not understand it. I really don't like seeing sites like this put up, you're defaming Salinger's genius tremendously! |

You're completely missing he point of the entire novel bud. You really shouldn't put your half-assed ideas on the net for others to read...just think of how many kids' english marks were ruined after taking ideas from your site. You should be ashamed. Way to go you bastard - you'v no doubt prevented millions from getting into any type of literary course in thier now depressing futures.

Plus, you totally gave us the wrong idea of DB. He isn't a prostitute or some whore or something. No, Holden only thought of him as a prostitute because he was in Hollywood. Get the facts straight before writing it out on the net. Plus th poem doesn't sound like Holden at all. Nice try, but not quite there yet. |

Lindsay - 05/18/00 23:54:52 My Email:chikeeta_banana@hotmail.com State: Ontario Country: Canada Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: My grade 10 English class was assigned to read this book earlier this year. I thought the book was well written and stimulating. I loved the way J.D. Salinger wrote the book as if it was a conversation; like Holden was actually talking to me (eg. "I do 't know what you think about this, but I think it's phony"). However, I do think that the book was a little to monogamous. Page after page, event after event, Holden continually disappoints himself and others because he fails to grasp the concepts of th world we live in. His dreams, his views, his beliefs are all unrealistic and immature. Naturally the world has it's problems, but one of the signs of becoming an adult is the ability to accept those problems and deal with them. |

Shakti - 05/17/00 06:58:05 City: Honolulu State: Hawaii Country: U.S.A. Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: Well, Drew, it looks like you have to do some researching on the book and its contents. First of all, the kid singing the tune in the street about a body being caught in the rye is a BOY. It says so directly! This is important to get right. At my High School, Punahou, the English Department would have named a new laughing stock of the school. On second observations, there are many underlying themes, not just the main plot. The way Holden looks at things can be a theme. What really is phony? Is ther a phoniness to the world? So you see, there is a litany of themes, not just one. Also, the part where you said that D.B. (Holden's brother)was a prostitute is not meant to be taken literally. The meaning that Mr. Salinger wrote about was the Prostitut on of one's skills for money, the selling of personal things, things that mean a lot. Once again, you have failed to see that this is not something with one meaning, it has many meanings. I'm not sure that you understand or comprehend what is going on in the book, I'll leave you to guess what I really mean (and believe me there are many things that this statement means.)The organization is O.K. I don't think that you should go off and put up a website on something that you are not 100% sure what you are t lking about. I think that Strider was right when he/she said read it again and look over everything. If intelligent people like that write up and say this and that are true, listen to them, they know what they are talking about. If you don't know it, t en You should not put it up on the web. |
Strider a.k.a. Aragorn - 05/17/00 06:30:58 My Email:ignaszm@punahou.edu City: Honolulu State: Hawaii Country: U.S.A. Have you read this book?: Oh yeah! Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: okay ~5.5 | Comments: This is a direct reply to Allisen. Listen, those of us who read the book and clearly derived a sense of deeper universal placement would really like to see somebody understand abd feel the book just as we did. Teachers and students that are SERIOUS don't ry to run down anybody. All we are saying is if the webmaster wants to state something, he should state it correctly. Also, I'm sure Drew doesn't need anybody to stick up for him. To those of you who just like writing insults, READ THE DAMN BOOK!! I kid you not, this book will make the serious thinker ask 2 Questions 1) What kind of world is this? and 2) How do we live in it? In fact, all great literature does so. Try reading ALL THE PRETTY HORSES by Cormac McCarthy or better yet THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO by Alexander Dumas. Those who scream out problems and state no solutions have no sense of critical thinking. Remember, if the reader says "This book is so good, I can't put it down." it is probably not good for critical thinking. A good book makes the reader want to stop and think "What would I do?" To the young lady that this is addressed to, don't take this as an insult; it is just a way of clarifying what I was saying before. Also, if the last part of what I said confused you, I was just saying that this book, like many critical thinking books, ust be read slowly and with a lot of consideration towards the facts. These types of books are meant for observations and inferences, that is why I stated those 2 questions. This book should also be read at least twice. If you have any questions, DO NOT F EL FREE TO E-MAIL ME. It should be better for us to correspond through this message board. P.S. great organization of this website, Drew! |

I'd say about a 5.5 | Comments: Well, for one thing, the little kid singing in the street is a BOY. Please, this is a very important occurrance. Another thing, I don't think Holden's in a Mental hospital. Maybe, maybe not, as he would say. I do like the metaphorical connection you made etween the Fall off the cliff and the loss of innocence; but other aspects aren't as simple as you put them. I am not trying to say that you don't know what you're are talking about. I am pretty sure you are competent in your understanding, you just make he plot and theme too simple. There are many other themes; Depression, loneliness, joy, anger, fear, to name just a few. I could give you examples; Depression is experienced when Phoebe asks Holden why he "did it" meaning why Holden "got the ax," meaning ail ou of school. Holden is always lonely. Joy when Holden sees Phoebe on the carousel. Anger right before and after Stradlater "fight." Fear when the pimp busts into Holden's hotel room. Listen, just read the book again, and think critically. Write the t emes down on a pad of paper. In fact, right everything down on an "Observations" pad. Show it to your teacher. Next time you right a paper, use your notes. Trust me, I'm a Sophomore too, it helps. |

I find it hard to find a deeper meaning in books, so I read things like this to find others opinions. It th n helps me form my own opinions. I enjoyed the book, I feel like I connected with Holden, yet some things I didn't understand. So deal with it. |

You have got to tell me what your instructor gave you on this report. I am an English instructor. My grade would be a Z-! I was wondering if you purchased this novel in comic book form. I also have my concerns for your future in college for I can only assume that you are trying to prepare for college by taking an AP course. If I were you I would invest in a spelling dictionary and possibly ome courses through Sylvan learning center. You have a great deal to learn about interpreting literature. You need to know about what you are talking before you put it on a web site for thousands of people to see. As a sophomore, I doubt that you have had much practice in literary interpretation. As Mark Twain once said, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and lightning bolt." This is much the same with the difference between interpretation a d intelligent interpretation. Sorry son, the lightning bolt hasn't struck you yet. Please save yourself embarrassment and do away with this page until you have fully read and comprehended the novel. Also, some advice for those who feel that that this youn man knows about what he is talking - he doesn't. Please don't use any of this information in any report that you write for a class if you care anything about your grade. |

jann - 04/30/00 23:32:28 My URL:http://bsuvc.bsu.edu/~jeewbank My Email:jann01@yahoo.com City: muncie State: in Country: usa | Comments: you did a good - taking the book at face value, however, i feel you missed the major underlying theme of the book. you said that holden wants to show the world that he is an adult, when in fact, it is the complete opposite. that was what i thought the fir t time i read the book, too. but reread it, and you will see that holden does not want to live in an adult world, nor does he want anyone else to. the title "the catcher in the rye" is about the only job he thinks he would ever like to have. he would lik to stand at the edge of a cliff where children are playing in a rye field, and catch them in case they were to fall. the fall represents a loss of innocence. holden does not want to grow up and become a part of the phony world. he wants to be like phoebe like allie (allie died before he could lose his innocence). that is why he gets so scared when phoece almost falls off of the carousel horse, and why he is so disturbed by the word "fuck" where the children can see it. i enjoyed you analyzation of the bo k, but i really think that you should consider all of these things. |

Holden in my opinion is the ultimate good person His hatred for the world is hatred for those who judge people for no good reason. and those who cling to phony notions of what is really important in the world. Why should he care who wins at the football game or endeavor to become a kind of person that the world thinks he should become. The most depressing thing is that he sees the entire world around him falling under this superfisial corruption and he feels truly alone in the world. He does see hope in children. That is why he wants to be The Catcher in the Rye. To prevent them from falling into that type of world. But Holden s trying really to prevent his own soul from disipating and disappearing. He concieves many ways to escape. Like asking Sally Hayes to come away with him. But he had to come out of his delusion and see that Sally is like the rest of the world who can n t understand his journey for meaning. The reason why w=he is in the hospital is because Holden can not function or will not function in a world of heartless bastards who don't care about anything except phoniness and making money. Holden is in my view a model for all people. You really leave out the fundamental importance of the novel and Holden's character in your site and should look beyond the surface. His probl m is not that he is trying to be more adult but is trying not to become like every other person in the world resigned to shallow middle class values. |

Even though Holden had a few psychological problems. It was the best book I read in along time. Holden is just like any normal teenager he tries his best to keep other people f om knowing his problems. Wonderful Book!!!! |

Mieke - 04/14/00 10:07:17 Country: Belgium Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: I liked the book , and one of the reasons: you can't never really understand it completely. Some of the comments prove that Holden was right about this world and some of it's persons living on it. But to give one advice don't live and think like he does or it will make you crazy , there still are good things in this life to. |

Angel - 04/13/00 00:27:51 City: San Jose State: CA Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: I really enjoyed the book. What I thin I liked the most was how honest and open Holden was. People say that it was a bad thing and the book needed to be censored. I strongly disagree! This is the first book (that we had to read in english clasS) that i AC UALLY read. I enjoyed it very much and thought it was something everyone should read. I found it very intriguing and I'm glad to see so many other people did too. Thanks for letting me contribute, just wanted to share my thoughts on this great book. |

I feel like it's turning me into a character out of the goddamn book or something. After reading it, I found myself talking like Holden and criticizing everything like some kinda goddamn maniac. I've changed the wa that I dress, the way that I think and even the freakin way that I eat. The world seems more depressing to me now that I've read this book but that's how I want it. Just recently, I have begun to wish I was Holden; I fantasize about looking in the mir or and seeing a sixteen year old boy's face. I've considered a sex change and plastic surgury but as of now I don't have that much money. I fantasize about going to Pency just to be where Holden was in the story. I am now becoming confused as to how I' ever going to find someone for me. I'm going to end up a lonely old bastard with no one. I love Holden, I want to make love to him, yet i want to be him. He is the ultimate personality. |

Holden has really rubbed off on me and everyth ng I see I think- "is that phony?". I love every bit in the book but near the end when he's with Phoebe in the zoo I love that!

Racheal - 03/26/00 21:13:39 Country: Canada Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: I loved this book and I find the page very helpful for a creative report I am doing. I just have two minor comments about your otherwise intelligent page. On your character Page you say that James Castle commited suicide. I think that even though he cho e to die, it was not really suicide, he felt he had no other choice and the boys who were with him, who tortured him at the time should be held at least partially responsible. As a small ,but in my opinion influentual, character in the book, he deserves little more credit than "student who commited suicide". The second is that on your theme page you haven't really even started to explore the complex nature of this novel. When you talk about the kid Holden sees running on the street you got that whole p rt completely wrong. Firstly, the kid was a boy, not a girl. He didn't think it was "DUMB" at all. He says "It made me feel better. It made me feel not so depressed anymore. Don't believe me? Refer to page 115 and see for yourself. Thanks for creati g such an otherwise informative page. Bye!!! |

The theme page only showed theoretical representation with idealism, not the themes of the book such as the Am rican dream, or some other major themes in which I came here to find, but didn't. |
Jessica Rodzik - 03/14/00 01:08:18 My Email:rodz@mnsi.net State: Ontario Country: Canada Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: I think it is important to add more sujested themes of the book. Although Idealism is frequent throughout the novel, many more themes linger throughout the pages. For instance, the loss of innocence should be identified on your web page to inform readers of it's significance throughout the novel. |

Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: 10 | Comments: this is a wonderful book i've ever read. i found this book incidently in my univ. library. i thought it was just a joke as the cover of its book said that 'this is an unsual book and bla bla bla'. but then i caught something's different with other book 'v read before. i like the character of holden best. he shows that people usually do phony things rather than being or thingking things as what they are. it's very rare to find the author who's able to describe how many phony thigns still done by some peopl through a very young boy. his life seems not so happy in a way but it doesn't make him to be such a bastard or something as losing things on and on like flunk from univ., his bro, allie, his gf, jane and other things. of course in a way he's very fragile but in other way he still has sense of clear thinking, so he is able to look the world as it should be. holden's character can make girl falls in love, as my friend and i did. in short, I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK, and going to read it over. fortunately, i c n take this book to do my proposal and the final project further. therefore, i'd like to know anyone's idea abt this book, so hopefully i can consider it to be my topic of my proposal later on. so if there's anyone is interested to do it, please email me. thank u. |

Emily Bartholomew - 03/09/00 03:55:32 My Email:bartholo@saberr.net City: Willits State: CA Country: USA Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book and I was overjoyed to be able to read it for the 4th time in my 11th grade Honors English class. Never had I read anything so truthful or so page-turning. The confessional voice in which the story is written is so engossing that you feel as if you could reach out and touch Holden. It's for these readings that I have elected to do an author study on Salinger. I just finished Franny and Zoe and am looking for other literary pieces by him- preferably something out of the ordinary such as essays or speeches. If you have any ideas, please e-mail me. Thanks.

We have a paper due on Monday (3/13/00), and I decide to start tonight. I wanted to write something on this novel, but I didn't know what. When I read your "quiz questions", I decided to write abou the role that children play in this novel (particularily affects on Holden's character). It a relatively short essay, but I would be glad to send it to you upon its completion . . . just let me know. -jonny- P.S. - The only reason I rated your page a 7, was because I did not find it very in depth. |

Lutz - 03/06/00 19:04:04 City: Bonn Country: Germany Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: Yes, I also enjoyed reading this book. I love the way Holden analises the different characters in his superior but amusing way... This Page is not so great though. The letter for stradlater is very posy.

I think your site is lacking in comparison to others. The themes page wasn't as good as it could be. I think the book was an examination of the human condition and most certainly can't be taken at face value, although I myself am just beginning to examine the main themes. The quiz page was nice but some of the questions were irrelevant. The numerous spelling and grammar errors were a huge annoyance and the text was a little hard to read with the background. Still, you have done a commendable job putting up the site, and it's good that your getting your ideas out there, it's just that the content is a little lacking. |

Lucia Soto - 02/20/00 14:53:25 My Email:psoto@worldonline.es City: Tres Cantos Country: Spain Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: I think this is an oririginal book, out of the normal. It gives an example of howhumankind can degradate itself. I find amusing his way of thinking but I don't admire it, nor do I think it's true that we have unuseful lives. He is not happy, maybe that's hy he thinks that way, I think Holden, and anyone who thinks that way should change their lives, search for their goals in lives and try to be happy. I think that we can help other, help the world progress and make our enviroment better if we look into ou selves and learn from the world around, not shut up to it as Holden does. |

But as I read, I started to like the book more and more. At the end of it, I really wanted to know more about Holden and his life. I mean, the story always end when you feel that you ave a "relationship" with the main character. In this case Holden is special. We all want to take care of him in the end. The reason for it is that we get to know him through what he does and thinks. We know the reasons to his actions. Worth reading!!!!! |

The catcher in the rye is a wonderful book. It talks about adolescence. The think is that I also felt insecurity and I also was an idealist when I was sixteen, so I enjoyed reading this book because this is the best description of adolescence that I've re d in my life. |

It has been years since I read it in college and it remains one of the most important and compelling novels I have ever read. Your report of it was impressive, particularly in lig t of your age at the time (highschool sophmore, right?) One of your questions, about Holden's use of the word phony to describe different people in his life was excellent. The book can be very complicated and it is relevant on many levels. However, the e is also a simple truth to Holden. The "phony" people in his life seem to be those whom he perceives as having promised him something, either explicitly or implicitly, and then let him down. Phonys are the killers of idealism. Idealism for Holden see s to mean the same as trust. He no longer can trust and discourages others from trusting the people in their lives. Well, like I said, yours is the first sight I visited. Seems to me that many people share my fascination with the book and I will have to make it a point to check them out. Continued success in school. RMH |

- 02/05/00 00:52:32 Have you read this book?: in the middle of it | Comments: This is the absolute worst work for a sophomore in high school, advanced English not to mention, that I have ever encountered. I am in advanced English also, I am a Junior this year. For one thing, shouldn't you know that "adult" and "sister", etc, are NO capitalized? C'mon, these are just basic grammar rules. Your usage of commas and other punctuation is also terrible! Did you actually read this book? Your analyzation it is so infantile and stupid! Lay off the word "depressed", for God's sake!Obviously, olden was not depressed about the world, he was merely an adolescent that had yet to discover himself. He is a social misfit and a hypocrite. He didn't like his roommate, either. Holden was insanely jealous of him while wanting to be him. What grade did y u get on this crap anyways and why in the hell would you have the nerve to post it on the internet as if it was good? I suggest that you reread this awesome book, as you are (hopefully) older and wiser now! |

Have you read this book?: of course | Comments: Sorry about that other entry. I'm stupid. Anyways, if you really want my opinion, which you probably don't, I think your analysis did lack...something. I also think that Catcher in the Rye is too good of a book to analyze. It most definatly means differ nt things to different people. Now, as that idea will get you nowhere in an english class, I am glad that I don't have to write this book up. Anyhow,when I finished the book I was in awe. It must take a very special person to capture so well the though s and the cries of so many Americans. Needless to say, J.D. Salinger is a genious. In a time when I was depressed and alone, Holden made me laugh (uncontrollably, almost to a point of convulsion. A tip from Jamie: never try to read this book (illegally) hile you are supposed to be doing something else. Doesn't work and your teache WILL catch you) and he eventually made me cry. Although I can't quite put into words what the novel "means" (laddyda) or its "theme", Catcher in the Rye is one of the most mea ingful,relatable, profound, and best books I have read in my life. It reached a place inside of me that I thought was unreachable. Holden- you rock. |

A EVRYTHING ON ONE LINE! - 01/28/00 01:22:51 Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: !! | Comments: Plot Summary Summary of the Plot: "The Catcher in the Rye" is a story of an emotionally disturbed young sixteen year old boy named Holden Caulfield. Holden is telling this story in first person, although the whole thing is all one big flashback. The story is one of a young Boy trying to g ow up in an Adult world, and trying to show that he is an Adult. As Holden is learning, there are many depressing things in the world. Holden, being the Idealist that he is, searches to find everything that needs to be changed, but never gives an alternat ve to the situation or thing. In the four total days that the story covers, Holden ends up getting himself from Pencey to New York where he and his Sister meet. While with his siter, he sees the little girl in her, so inocent to the world around her, that he thinks is so depressing. H tries to shelter Phoebe from the world by not letting her do things that he is doing. So in a sence, Holden is himself, a hypocrite, by doing particular things and then turning around and telling her not to do them. The Story really begins and ends in the Mental Hospital or Resting Home as he calles it. The story ends as Holden is talking to a Doctor as if he were telling this whole story to the Doctor. This is a symbolic ending to this story, becuase Holden always t ought that he didn't need to share His Depressing stories with other people. Also, he didn't like listening to otehr people tell him their depressing stories. Allie Holden's brother, diead of Leukemia July 18, 1946, 2 years younger than Holden D.B.

George something Andover Student, friend of Sally Hayes Carl Luce Student at Whooton Al Pike, Rob Robinson, Roberta Walsh, Richard Kinsella Various other Students Theme Page The Theme of "The Catcher in The Rye" is one of Idealism. Holden is an Idealist, he always thinks of things as they should be not as they are. Here are a few Examples of Holden being or acting like an Idealist: He thought that it was so depressing that Mr. Spencer smelled like Cold Medicine. Holden thought that the little kid running around the streets of New York while following her parents was dumb. Because her parents were not paying attention to her while she was in the street. But he didn't do anything about it. He thought that telling people all the "David Copperfield" kind of crap was depressing. Holden feels that he is an Adult, yet he still does many childish things. |

Your childhood experiences are running blindly through the rye, tripping over stones, finding warm spots in the sun. Until you reach a certian age and find yourself at the edge of the cliff of adulthood. t's pretty to think that there would be someone to catch you as you fall, or even to show you the way down, but life doesn't work that way. Like the prodigal son, we all have to stubmle and fall down the cliff by ourselves or we will grow to resent the c tcher for not letting us experience life as we see fit. K! |

It felt god reading it because it made me realize that im not the only one who despises this messed up world. If people j st keep it real like Holden, then the world would be a much better place. Hats off to Jd Salinger |

It is too short full of worthless information, and without any of your own decent thoughts or opinions. You should try and expand and give us some insite on Holden nd his world, relationships and the symbolism used by J.D Salinger. next time please keep this in mind and also, do not take up valuable space with worthless information. |
Aveline - 01/14/00 00:53:31 Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: I loved "The Catcher in the Rye" because it was a book that I felt I could relate to. Sometimes I think the world can be too corrupt and that maybe I would want to live in those "glass cases" in the museum so that everything would stay the same and nothin would have to change. Anyway, I think the book deserves a 9 but I gave your website a 5 because I don't think you understand the book that well. "Catcher in the Rye" has more themes than just Idealism. (hint: loneliness, corruption, how change affects others, I could go on a d on). My suggestion: read between the lines. |
Crissy - 01/13/00 07:47:30 My Email:SweetRaindr0p@yahoo.com City: Nikiski State: AK Country: USA Have you read this book?: Only about 75 times (literally) | Comments: Well I should start out by saying that Catcher In The Rye is my favorite book. I have never been emotionally involved with a fictional character but Holden changed all of that. I see it like if I could ever meet anyone with 2/3s of his characteristics I'l be completley in love. I don't want anyone thinking I'm some obsessive psycho that leads her life after the book but I did relate to it immensly. Your page was impressive in only one aspect...and that was the names of the characters you could verify. Although you didn't go into any detail about the book or the characters. I thought your page was a poor attempt at explaining anything about the book. I am soon goign to start my own page about the book and yours gave me a good impression from which to start from. If anyone out there would like any information or has comments about this post my email address is above and I also can be reached at Raininmnms@yahoo.com and my ICQ number is 53435070 |

Marie - 01/07/00 02:22:55 My Email:Roanie19@optline.com State: ny Country: us Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: First of all i would like to start off by saying anyone that left there comments ,just filled with curses is just a sign of their ignnorance(and they probaly didnt understand the book at all.Most people,i myself can not fully understand it.i think it is o e of those books that you have to read it more than once.As for my thoughts on your home page some of the greatest authors were lousy spellers i mean who knows if Salinger had bad spelling himself.Anyway,I thought the page was alright but the book had al t of symbolyism,maybeif you readit again youll catch on to some of it.The book was about alot of stuff but I think one of the main points of the books was childrens innocence and how when you get older you become corrupt.In one point of the book holden is daydreaming and he quotes"ikeep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big feild of rye and all.and nobodys around nobody-nobody big.i mean except me.and im standing on the edge of this crazy cliff. what ihave to do,i have to to catchcatch everybody if they start to go over the cliff-imean if there running and they dont know where there going ihave to come and catch them.I'd just become the catcher and the rye.(thats were Salinger got the name of the book,but the whole point of that quote is the point of the whole story.The 2 people that holden seems to admire the most are children alie and pheobe.throghout the book holden talks about how much he admires and loves pheobebecause she is innocentand not orrupt.and he feels he has to watch over her.this is just one of the things i think .i'm sorry my comment was so long. (by the way,rye is a type of grass)- - |

First of all, I didnt see where you even stated the author's name or gave credit to him. Second of all, you probably have excellent points, but it is lost in the gram ar and spelling mistakes that you made. This is constructive criticism and is not meant to offend anyone |

An example would be how Holden feels that he lives in an evil and misguided society, when in actuality, he himself is the biggest pho y of all. (is a conformist through admitting his tendancy to lie and have drinks with "phonies".) Good book huh? |

I hope your english teacher didn't trash you on this one. Next time you publish something and lend your name to it try to take some pride in your work. Ya gotta stop all this capitalisation in the middle of a sentence. If theme's that important to ya tak out a whole sentence and do it up proper. Also your analysis of the book was a tad misguided, you might try reading it again in a few years so that you'll truly grasp the implications involved here. A question for your quiz, if you don't mind another sug estion, Are troubles like Holden's still plaguing young people, and old, today? It's 50 years since the book's setting but have things changed that much in the human condition? |

Maize - 12/24/99 00:48:47 City: jamestown State: Ny Country: usa Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: Personally, I thought the book was quite good. For anyone that thinks that is "sucked", well I just think that you point blank didn't understand it and never will. Everyone complains about how he complains all the time and I get so mad because they don' understand that he is "crazy", "messed up"!! That is why nothing is ever good enough for him because he doesn't understand how society works mainly because he wants nothing to do with it. My English teacher told me that the reason why he lies so much is so that he can feel better about himself which is so true. He doesn't have the balls to fess up that he will have to enter the world of adulthood wether he wants to or not. |

Thanks. But for those people who have written rude comments such as those that use cuss words and say that this site is crappy, all I can say to you is go to school bec use you are beyond rude and you are not intelligent at all. I don't understand why you would come to a site and write completely useless criticism about a piece of literature. I think that if you had the brains to read this book then you should be able o give the webmaster constructive criticism to say what you think. Just because you dislike some of the things that he/she got out of the book doesn't mean that you have to throw a tantrum. |

Jimmy Frink - 12/09/99 07:22:39 City: Houston State: Texas Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: Good sophmore effort, but the report lacked a little bit of insight into what a struggle life is for people ill equipped to handle it is. Holden is not tragic in the sense that he is not in a tragic situation. he is tragic in the sense that he is overwhelmed, and fails to know this in time to avoid much of the pain he experienced. |

Zhong Zheng High School - 11/29/99 09:13:26 City: Taipei Country: Taiwan Have you read this book?: yes! Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: 8+ | Comments: The following are a collection of responses to The Catcher in the Rye. The writers are a group of English as a Foreign Language high school teachers from Taipei, Taiwan. They read the book during the summer, and in the fall discussed and analyzed the mean ng of the book. As their group facilitator, I have posted their writings and comments here. All participants have agreed to this posting. Misspellings and typos are my responsibility. Megan Montgomery megeranksi@excite.com English as a Foreign Language Instructor National Taiwan University Taipei, Taiwan oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Reading through the pages, we really have a hard time finding the truest truth in life. Through Holden’s eyes, we spent four days with him, and yet we are given a chance to take a close look at ourselves. To our surprise, we find ourselves to be just the phonies" Holden keeps on criticizing. We preach one thing, but act another. We encourage other people with the sweet words we ourselves never believe. We encourage other people to do something which we never try ourselves. We are not brave enough to say w at’s really in our minds. We are not brave enough to behave against others. Are we happy? Are we insane? Who knows? Maybe it is just as well that we are not ourselves sometimes. Sohie Su Like a teenager, Holden was curious about sex. He tried to act like an adult who would have a prostitute release him from his desire. However, physical sensation isn’t the cure-all for his depression. He is more empty than lonely. A couple of minutes of c mpanionship won’t fill his emptiness. Even with Sunny on his lap, he did not cheer up or even get excited. What he was bearing was a lot bigger burden than he could imagine. Isadora Lin If Holden lived in this age, we might not regard him as an abnormal young man, because we see a Holden to some degree in most of the young people around us. To me, it seems inevitable to struggle through the mental disturbances and confusion before a youn teenager turns into an adult. That’s what Holden and most young people have been going through. Eunice Shih I am much different from the "me" who read "The Catcher in the Rye" ten years ago. The younger one, with no teaching experience, considered Holden nothing more that a character in a novel. But now, with several years’ teaching experience, it seems that Ho den behaves like some of my students; in fact, he might be one of my students! Bedsides, Holden reminds me of the lyrics: "Even though I was really young at the time All my pain and tears were genuine. Mom, please take them seriously Mom, don’t think that they were not real." Both Holden’s and my students’ sufferings, I believe, are real. Rita Lin "The Catcher in the Rye" is a novel written in a monologue criticizing the dark side of human nature from the viewpoint of a 16-year-old boy, Holden Caufield. Being an under-achiever expelled from school, Holden not only loses enthusiasm for his life, bu also his faith in the bright side of humanity. It is true that no one is perfect in this world, but it is not necessarily that every human is vicious, or a hypocrite; in other words, there is no absolute good or evil. Teenagers tend to judge things or p ople in binary opposites – good or evil. They have very radical emotions, which are always hard to control. When they love someone or something, they cannot resist it. If they hate someone or something, they also cannot help doing so. When they encounter ny difficulties, they usually do not know how to solve them and tend to escape from them just like Holden Caufield in this book. This book brings about a serious issue, which deserves out great concern. We should pay more attention to our adolescents, try to understand what they are thinking about and offer our assistance when they are in trouble. We should let them know we care mo e about them than we care about their academic achievements. Alice Chen While reading the story, my thinking was constantly interrupted by Holden’s monologue. Paranoid, ironic and angry at the adult world, Holden attempts to dive into his own ideal world and shut out all the phonies. Though the theme is obvious and repeated t rough the whole process, I think Holden has made a mountain out of a mole hill. The adult world is no big deal, actually. One can still keep innocent and keep their ideals in the adult world. And I myself don’t feel that there are so many phonies around m as Holden thinks. Alice Chiu Holden is an oppressed, lonely and angry boy. He doesn’t interpret things in the normal way. He has his own insights, which are not accepted or understood by others, not even by his own parents, and that’s why he is sent to the mental hospital. I think he is an idealist, is very naïve and unrealistic. Furthermore, I think he is a humanist with great love and that explains why he is so lonely and angry seeing all the unjust and unfair stuff around. He just can’t strike a balance between the ideal and the re listic world. He is in a sense a so-called "tragic hero", trying to fight against all forms of hypocrisy with his limited, unaided strength, and no matter how humble and miserable, he is, he just won’t give up this mission. He thinks it would be beneath h s dignity to compromise with the "phony" and "disgusting" reality and as a consequence, he is rejected by the reality, too. This book offered some food for thought. It reminded me of my adolescence, most of which I managed to forget. I was cynical and sensitive just like Holden. I tried to find answers to the chaotic world I was facing from books, so I did some profound readin at that time. I concentrated my time and energy on schoolwork, and my good grades gave me a kind of satisfaction and a sense of achievement which to some extent served as a compromise to the real world. I am really glad that I have ridden out that stormy period of my life. Also as a teacher, I now doubt whether I should preach what I myself cannot follow. As Holden would think, if teachers can’t practice what they preach, they are fakes. I don’t want to be a fake, so maybe I’ll just stop nagging my students, teaching them s many philosophies of life which I cannot carry out myself. Eunice Wang. |
- 11/28/99 22:01:08 City: Toronto Country: Canada Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: Your page is quite good and I applaude you for putting your work on the internet where others can criticize you to death. I appreciate all the sections you've created, but I disagree with your idea of the theme of the story. I do not feel it is idealism at all. I truly think it is more along the lines of Holden's fear of becoming an adult. He dislikes most adults he meeets, it seems, and he doesn't want to become one of them, a "phony". I think you should add a few more ideas to support your view on he theme, so that fewer people will be harsh towards your opinion. As long as you can convince them they can't really tear you apart. Great work though, it has helped me a fair amount. |

He slowly breaks down as the "good" representative in the good vs. evil against corruption and at the end is sen to a Mental Hospital. His fights with Maurice and Stradlater, who are symbols of corruption, (because Maurice is a pimp and Stradlater is phony)he loses. After his fights he turns his hat backwards. In the days of this novel the only people who wore thei hats backwards were backcatchers in baseball. Holden feels that change is bad and displays this through his choice essay topic of egyptians. He refers to the preservation of the mummies, so they wouldn't change. This is also why he likes the museum. Thin s are always the same. He, however, is astonished to find that everywhere he goes someone has written "Fuck you". This bothers him because it is change. He likes the carousel because the music doesn't change and everything looks the same. He later realize that when Phoebe is riding the carousel that he cannot keep children from growing up and becoming "corrupt". This is when he breaks down. This site is very good and I hope this information can help you! Thanks! |

This book wasn't just about a humorous and depressed young man, but Holden's struggle in becoming an adult. I think you should also add deeper character t aits to the characters you listed. Theres so much more to say about Holden and his sister than just the fact that they were sisters. I recomend reading the book again when your older so that you can appreciate the book better |

It would be much better and consice if you were to add more specific detail containing Holden,Phoebe, Stradl ter, and Ackley. There are many important keyfact in this book. Many symoblic messages. IF u havnt figured that out yet, i suggest reviewing the book, for the book lyes the true meaning of life and everything in it.

The thing I love best about this book is Holden's voice, and it wasn't in the letter. A good idea, though, and the letter did have some good points, I think many of the ideas included were along the right lines. Over all, a good page.

He has a very pessimistic view towards everything and he feels a need to preserve innocence and ignore reality. It r ally impacted me in the end when he finally realizes that you must let children loose their innocence because that's the way the world works. I really enjoyed this novel because it had a lot of symbolism and everything seemed to represent some indirect t ing. I am still curious about why this book is banned in some schools and all that John Lennon stuff, but i do feel that this is a good book for anyone to read. It is a very meaningful book and will change the way you look at everything if you take it t e right way. |

Chanel - 10/02/99 19:43:00 My Email:channelpp@hotmail.com City: Geneva State: ------------ Country: Switzerland Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: You do not really take the slant in his tone. Pg 173, Holden talking to Phoebe saying "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big feild of rye and all....What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go ov r the cliff..." Read it over and it is really quite significant, it is the first time he reveals himself as innocent and confused missing his childhood. That is the where the title of the novel comes from. |

Please read this book again and think more about it. You completely have the theme wrong(innocence of Holden Caufield) and u fail to analyze Holden t roughouly. While it is brave of u of putting ur book report on the web, u do not understand the point of this novel, and u fail miserbaly to convey the embodiment of Holden Caufield. He is not an idealist, but more of a teenager trying to make sense of th s god awful world and the fucking bastards who rule it. You really need to read the book again. |

This book is about about Holden's strugle to deal with his falling from innocense. Nothing in this book is what it seems. Everything is an allusion to the theme. Holden realizes that he is becoming an adult and he knows once you become an adult all there is to look forward to is being a "phony" and death. Holden is stuck throughout the book in the lonely area between being a child and an adult. He realizes he wants to become a Catcher in the Rye" to keep other children from heading in the same direction he's going. Anyone who does not believe this is a great book has surely not gone into the deeper meaning of all the numerous symbols in this book. Although the story itself is not spectacular, being able to analyze the passages throughout the book is very interesting and awarding. |

By the way I loved the book! If you ask me, Holden Caulfield was the real 'phony' in the story, he was so emotionally disturbed because of his own inner conflict, that he failed to recognise the signific nce and beauty of life, but rather tormented himself with the ideals of a superficial life in a superficial world. But his thoughts were so intense that even the slightest cut could be fatal. |

Jeremy - 04/11/99 16:27:59 State: ny Country: usa Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: you were right on some things, but a tad off on others. your site was all in all not bad. I think the book was just so well written from the point of view of a seventeen year old boy, and you must admit, he had alot happen to him not only in these few day , but over his whole life. I think the ups and downs he faces are a conglomeration of all those years,(y'know, all his experiences at schools, his dead brother). Also, many people say this book is about Holden's "change" into an adult. i think this too. Sure he has trouble adjusting and thinking like an adult, but doesn't every teenager? I've got so much more to say, but its hard to concentrate all my thoughts into one paragraph. But finally, the title of the book, and its significance is a major part in showing how Holden wants to grow up. I think he no longer want to be one of the children playing, but he wants to be the 'catcher in the rye', and his starting point is with his sister Phoebe. |

Gweneth - 03/28/99 20:52:37 City: Toronto State: Ontario Country: Canada Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: I'm sorry but I feel I really need to set you straight on a few things. First of all, read this book again. This time try to get in between the lines. There is so much in this book that you have missed. You wonder at Holden's childish actions while he s trying to assert himself as an adult. Have you considered Holden's obvious struggle between innocence and experience. Do not take Holden's actions and words at face value. This novel requires thought. It is not the story of a depressed teen shirking responsibility. It is a story of transformation, unresolved guilt and truth!!!! I hope your teacher was more generouse than I would have been. |

Paul Smith - 02/15/99 17:18:09 My Email:adambultitude@hotmail.com City: Liverpool Country: England Have you read this book?: YES! | Comments: I'm a university student at Central Lancashire in England and I have to present this book. What do you all think of my review? A particularly appealing book is certainly 'The Catcher in the Rye' by JD Salinger, which centres on a 15-year-old New York schoolboy, Holden Caulfield. After he is expelled from yet another boarding school for poor results in his studies, he decides to spend a couple of days in New York before he has to return home to face his angry parents. The novel follows his encounters with prostitutes, pimps, an ex girlfriend and all the other people he meets in New York. Becoming increasingly depressed, he decides to run away from home rather than tell his parents he has been expelled, but when he goes home briefly to collect his belongings, he decides to stay thro gh his simple love for his younger sister Phoebe when she begs him to take her with him. The storyline may not seem to be very intellectual, or even original, but it is really about Caulfield's quick but subtle decline into a nervous breakdown, and an admirable feature of this book is how effectively Salinger conveys his state of mind but al o manages to maintain a good story by adding silly anecdotes to the main story such as a heated debate that takes place between Caulfield and a New York taxi driver on whether fish get frozen in place when the ponds are iced over during winter, and an inc dent where he remarks; This gives 'The Catcher in the Rye' the advantage of showing the reader Caulfield's descent into a nervous breakdown but also managing to maintain an entertaining kind of black humour. Because of its subtle style, the book is much easier to read than othe novels which study human nature, such as 'Lord of the Flies' and or even 'Of Mice and Men' and so because it is from the viewpoint of only one person, Caulfield's slightly demented view of the world, it offers a good insight into his character and his th ughts. The ending of the novel, where a recovering Holden Caulfield tells the reader what happened after he went home and his hopes for the future, is a particularly satisfying conclusion. Although Salinger's novel is over fifty years old, it still manages to keep a refreshing style of writing and relevance to it, and it is as funny and easy to read as contemporary. This book has gained a massive cult following and can be found in many bookshops and libraries all over the world. An international best-seller, and also an entertaining study of a teenager's mind, it certainly rates as an excellent read and 'The Catcher in the Rye' is definitely worth recommending to anyone, young or old, to read. |

You were one of the very few students in my class who actually posted your report on the web, and it is fun to see all the responses. I disagree with many of your critics when it comes to theme. Why can't we say that Holden is a romantic idealist, but that the book is also about the loss of innocence. To say only one is right just seems too narrow-minded to me, and I think Holden would agree. Now, what I want to know is what happens to the ducks in the winter? oes someone cart them off to a warm place? And what about the fish in the pond? Do they get frozen in place until the spring thaw and then swim away freely? Which one is Holden, a duck who might die in the winter or get help to survive? Or his he a fis , stuck and frozen? Will mother nature somehow take care of him until the spring thaw? Which are you, a duck or a fish? |

geneviève - 12/06/98 21:24:31 My Email:gen6_16@yahoo.com City: montréal State: québec Country: canada Have you read this book?: yes, twice | Comments: Hi! I think that you did not tell us the good theme! Just think about it a second! The themes are innocence and death! For sure innocence because of the title, catcher in the rye, he wants to protect children of falling in adulthood, because he wants them to eep there innocence and purity, and death because Holden is totaly obsessed by his brother's death. He wants to commited suicide more then twice time and sometime he thinks that he is sufferring of cancer or pneumonia. Also, he love a lot mummies, becaus they memories of them self through time. That's why I think that death and innocence are the major themes of that book! Merci! :o) Geneviève |
Thang Nguyen - 12/05/98 21:19:12 City: San Jose State: CA Country: USA Have you read this book?: Duh!!! | Comments: I totally agree with Charisma's idea from Albany, New York (though her writing is sloppy. It needs to be more concise). Holden is stuck between childhood and adulthood. He can't find an easy to enter his adulthood smoothly. Childhood is where he finds happiness. Thus, he assumes that adulthood is "phony" (fake). His confusion eventually leads him to become a confused, disturbed teenager. I'm not here to offend anybody. Of course, everyone has their own point of view, but be considerate that each book has a specific message to its readers. In this case, Salinger mainly and tightly focuses on teenagers at the stage of becoming an adult. o, those of you who use this web site as a reference for your report/essay should be careful before touching other people's ideas without evaluating them. |
D.B. - 12/05/98 20:20:23 My Email:catcher@rye.net City: Hollywood State: CA Country: USA Have you read this book?: Yes, Holden gave me the book. | Comments: Just one clarification (or confirmation)! You wrote, "Holden's elder Brother, a Poet who is now "Out in Hollywood...being a prostitute." First of all, he's not a poet nor a prostitute. If you had analyzed the book carefully, you would have noticed that D.B. is a writer (most likely to be a script-writer). Holden calls D.B. a prostitute because he knows that D.B. uses his talent to make m ney (he sells his work to Hollywood), instead of creating beautiful stories. I just want to contribute my analysis about this character, D.B., so that others who have not yet read the book will not misunderstand this great metaphor. |
Charisma - 12/05/98 17:03:00 City: Albany State: New York Country: USA Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: I'm a freshman in highschool and I can make better connections than you.You're totally wrong about the book. It's not about idealism, it's about falling from innocence, hence the title. When he tells his sister, Phoebe, he wants to be the catcher in the r e and keep the little kids from falling off the cliff, he's saying he wants to keep them from falling from innocence. Holden does not think he is an adult, he doesn't even want to be, he wants to be a kid again so he can be innocent. he is preventing hims lf from becoming an adult, but he cannot go back to being a kid, so he's stuck in the middle. Holden is alone throghout the entire book, he wants to share his story but he doesn't think anyone wants to hear it. I pity you for being such a idiot. |

However, most of your cited examples demonstrate more hypocrisy than idealism. Also, the lett r was very unlike Holden in the style--I'm assuming that the "great times and great laughs" bit was verbal irony. Good page, overall. I'm a sophmore in high school doing a project on the book and would be interested to hear why indeed we study this book |

The part I liked the best was when the pimp punched Holden in the chest. Also the way that he is a smooth talker when he is drunk. When he calls people phonies y u think about people you know and you think that alot of the people you now are phonies. I my self am probably a phonie acording to Holden.

He is only a teenager, how can anyone who has not established their values and beliefs be hypocritical. He is overtly contradictarary of himself, but I woul n't deam him hypocritical. He curses people for being "phony" and yet those are the people that he needs most. This is a contradictary aspect of Holden, but so is his sense of idealism. A good critique, but perhaps calling him hypocritical is going too fa . |

I guess he was trying to be to catcher in the rye to save people from the Beatles's influences. |

Daniel - 11/03/98 21:41:20 My Email:daniel3garza@hotamil.com City: Monterrey State: Nuevo León Country: México Have you read this book?: Yes Rate this page. 1-10, 10 being best.: 10 | Comments: I've read this book and I think it is a novel that makes you see the world through a different perspective, through Holden's perspective. I think people don't have to be so brash and say that the book is wheter good or bad. There are not any books that an be rated in basis of how did you like it. It depends on how much can you "get" of it. So I don't think of this book as a bad one. I consider this novel as a way of seeing things through a different crystal. And, about your page, I think it is thoug for someone to learn this HTML thing and then make a page. So for me it seems so nice of you of having done such a great job, and I don't care about the spell checking, that is easy to change, you have done the hard work by now. I hope you will keep it up and don't care about some senseless comments done about your page before. Good job! |

Reene - 11/02/98 00:51:27 My Email:cnellie@hotmail.com City: Noblesville State: Indiana Country: United States Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: This comment is mostly devoted to Alex. First of all I think Drew did a good job on his page and there is always room for mistakes. Holden does think it is ridiculous that the parents are not paying attention to the boy, it depresses him. He doesn't wa t Phoebe to do what he is doing so he tells her she can't go with him. Duh, he wants to be a protector of children (Catcher in the Rye)the title gives it away! Anyway I think it was a great book and whoever has a chance to read it should. Holden is a g eat character and so many people don't realize that we are surrounded by people like him. Some are not as extreme as him, but take a look around you, and you will find a person with qualities such as his. |

I'm doing a project on The Catcher in the Rye for a Transactional English class. We have to do a character sketch, relevance issues, reality issues, atmosphere, settings, etc. The book wasn't bad, following Holden's character as quite interesting. I'm in grade twelve and hoping to get good grades in this class and your web site will hopefully help me get a good mark. Thanks again sarah :) |

alex - 10/29/98 00:00:56 Have you read this book?: yes | Comments: the book was great, but you obviously haven't read it well. first of all, holden doesn't think the little BOY (not girl) walking with his parents is dumb, he thinks its neat. secondly, he is not hypocritical, in that he does NOT tell phoebe not to do thin s that he himself does. these are only a few examples, but there are many others that suggest you only did a cursory job of reading the book--or perhaps of reading the cliff's notes, whatever the case may be. i think holden caulfield would definitely think you to be quite a phony after doing such a lousy job. |

Anna - 10/10/98 19:19:15 My Email:Trix_99@hotmail.com City: Toronto State: Ontario Country: Canada Have you read this book?: Yep | Comments: Hi! Greetings to Ohio from Canada! (eh?) I was also assigned Catcher in the Rye in my advanced english class. Now I have to do a seminar on the symbolisms used by J.D.S throughout the book (ie-> the red hunting cap, the museum, the record, ducks and fish in the pond, the "catcher inthe rye," th carrousel, etc) Since you know the book quite well, I was wondering if you could email me (soon!) with your opinions on what these (or others.. I haven't quite found them all yet) might mean. Okay, I hope you don't mistake this as asking you to do my work for me--I already have my own conclusions on these symbols--Iam only hoping to get a few more opinions to "broaden my interpretation." (And hey... if you don't believe me I'm willing to meet you in a chat room somewhere to have a "catcher" discussio !) Thanx....hope to hear from you soon :) Luv Anna |

Dee - 09/24/98 07:43:34 City: Tyler State: TX Have you read this book?: Yes | Comments: You did a very good job with this review. You cover just about every aspect of the novel nicely. However, I would suggest that you use your spell check function and proofread next time before submitting anything to the net. I'm sure you hear it all the time from your instructors. It is a very good habit to get into, however monotonous it may seem. Not to mention, think of how many people are going to see this page and, unfortunately, your spelling errors as well. But chin up, I'm sure you will do an even better job next time. Again, it is a good page with a really good review. I hope I didn't stand on the soap box too long. :-) Take care and good luck. |

Some books appeal to different peoplefor different reasons. Not all people like the same music. Musicians use different instruments and play them in different ways to create a finished product. Comment on the use of figurative language (metapohrs and s milies), connotative and denotative language, allusion as well as the use of dialogue and the general description in order to interest the reader. As you can see it is a rather annoying topic but anything that you can give me or anyone else out there can give me would be most appreciated!!! Thanx i will e-mail you as well okay!!! bye |
