It is tough being a lonely misanthrope. Hating society and being lonely are two traits that definitely do not go together and are hard to deal with. In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Holden Caulfield has just those problems. Holden is not a hugely happy guy, as he makes it clear many times throughout the novel. All he wants to do is connect with someone, but he has particularly high standards. Most of the time, he is the cause for his miserable attitude. Holden runs into a great deal of different problems which causes him to be the way he is.

Throughout the essay, “The Opposite of Loneliness” , Marina Keegan utilizes pathos to elicit a “sense of possibility” towards her intended audience. Keegan argues for all members of society to find their own “opposite of loneliness” through memorable moments with the people one cares about most.

Alienation and loneliness, are two of society’s biggest problems. Ironically, it is society itself that leads to this, because sometimes alienation is a way of protection. J.D Salinger points out various social issues within society in his novel The Catcher in the Rye. Holden Caulfield, who is currently in the middle of a big issue dealing with his “madness”, must go through a trial, a quest if one would say, which will allow the reader to see his struggle to be innocent in the eyes of society. Truly, Holden represents Salinger’s view of society.

The salt that the Tuareg bought was from Bilma. They made 1 trip annually to Bilma to buy salt and travel to the cities on the top of Nigeria. Normally the men in the village would take the caravan of camels to make a trip to Bilma each year to buy salt. This would be a very hard trip for the men each year because traveling through the desert can be very dangerous. Multiple stories have been passed around by the Tuareg people about caravans getting lost in the Sahara desert. As they go to Bilma they gather the money they had gotten from the last trip that they made for buying salt. On average the men would stay in Bilma for 10 days then leave due to competition selling the salt. They did this because this was their way of staying alive if they didn’t make this trip annually the would not be able to buy goods for their village. Occasionally this trip would be a boys rite of passage to become a man which is a very intense spiritual and physical journey.

Our narrator reverts back to her female role and relies on emotions rather than logic; it is apparent that in having these quick relationships she is only hurting herself.

In the beginning of The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger brings up the motif of loneliness and depression which Holden reveals to the reader while at Pencey Prep. For example while writing a essay for Stradlater, he reflects on how after Allie, Holden's brother died, Holden "slept in the garage, the night he died and [he] broke all the god damn window." (39). This reaction to inflict pain on himself is evidence that the loss triggered severe emotional disturbances. Holden isolates himself after a tragic event proving Allie's death is the cause for his loneliness. Also, while alone in his dorm at Pencey writing a composition for Stradlater his roommate, Holden " couldn't think of a room or a house to describe… [he] wrote about [his] brother Allie's
