Have you ever wondered why teenagers are the most vulnerable to committing suicide? Why they are afraid to become adults by taking responsibility for their actions? To shed some light on this particular situation, J.D. Salinger puts this burden on Holden Caulfield, a distressed teenager who struggles to find someone who he can trust after the death of his brother, Allie.

And even when he does have someone who is willing to trust him, such as Phoebe, his little sister, he decides to run away and confide in people whom he knows will leave his life. In The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger demonstrates that the sudden death of a loved one causes teenagers, especially, to isolate themselves from others because they feel as if they might lose another precious person in their life. In order to them realize this, there are people who are not willing to allow them to become more isolated as they already are.

Salinger explores the theme of isolation in Catcher in the Rye. First, on pg 2 Salinger narrates “Anyway, it was the Saturday of the football game. I remember around three o'clock that afternoon I was standing way the hell up on top of Thomsen Hill. You could see the whole field from there, and you could see the two teams bashing each other all over the place. You could hear them all yelling.” Holden is isolated, aloof, and watching people instead of connecting with them. Next, on pg 153 Holden claims “When I finally got down off the radiator and went out to the hat-check room, I was crying and all. I don't know why, but I was.
