The passage begins on an unusual high note, with Holden’s three upbeat words, “The best thing.” But, by the end of the first sentence, Salinger hints that Holden’s reasoning might be more characteristically dark. To Holden, the best thing about the Museum is that “everything always stayed right where it was.” The reader isn’t sure what Holden means. “Nobody’d move,” he explains as a clarification, as if the reader would now understand. It isn’t until the third try that that Holden’s reasoning is clear. He likes that the displays of Eskimos, deer, and birds are frozen in action and never change. “Nobody’d be different” he repeats, completing the idea using Salinger's signature technique of repetition to drive the point home.

J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye presents a look into the mind of Holden Caulfield, a popular literary icon numerous teenagers have rightfully found themselves relating to at some point. While the familiar emotions of Holden were welcoming for me, his anecdotes and witty remarks proved entertaining as well. The story chronicles Holden’s exploration through New York post-expulsion, with his point of view influenced by his growing alienation with the world. He represents that growing sense of unease at growing up and facing a reality that is not always pretty, and, in his case, a need to save children from having to face that reality. I personally admired the fact that he was not just an angry teenager in the world as stereotypes suggest.

When he did that I started to shake around so that he would let go and it worked. I came at him one last time and shoved him to the ground. That was when Matthew's friends told me that the fight was over. I was out of breath while Matthew just gets back up and starts talking to his friends again.
