Write An Alternate Ending For The Catcher In The Rye

"Yes", Susie said, "It should be really great". She was so polite. I really liked her. I usually like Phoebe's friends when I meet them. Watching the two of them helped me get my mind off of how I was about to face my parents. I was worried about my mom. I really was. I tried not to think of how hysterical she'd get. Phoebe said mom and dad were coming home at around seven o'clock. It was around four o'clock now. Soon enough they'd come home, see me, and deal with me. So, we got off the bus at 72nd street, said goodbye to Susie, and walked home. Phoebe seemed all cheery. Kids don't understand situations like this. I mean, old Phoebe, she did, but I guess she was just really happy to be with me, and that I was home and all.

Set, Hike the play began and Will went out for the pass did an eight yard hitch, WOOF the ball left the QB’s hand and landed right in the hands of Will in the end zone. SCORE the touchdown is good. After the play and being congratulated he felt something vibrating in his pocket. Will is nice rebellious but yet respectful man he is tan and well built and loves to work out with his friends. So acting normal and all he grabbed his phone and realized it was his dad who rarely calls him the only reason would be if something went wrong and someone died or he just wanted to talk to him. When he answered the phone he said “Hey Dad...” When he didn’t hear an answer he almost hung up but all of a sudden heard the voice of his grandpa Steve talking

“I swear to God I’m a madman” (149) Holden Caulfield says, revealing the wicked nature of J.D Salinger’s 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye. The book follows 16 year old Holden Caulfield in his days spent alone on the streets of New York City after getting kicked out of prep school. During this time Holden goes on an alcoholic rampage, fueled by hate and filled with anger towards anything he sees as phony. The book has been the cause of major controversy since its release, with schools across the country banning it from the realms of teaching for decades. Now, it is read in many high school literature classes because of its alleged similarity to the way teenagers think. The Catcher in the Rye should not be taught to young, impressionable teenagers in public schools because of its rampant profanity, glorification of alcohol and tobacco use, and narration by a mentally ill, generally horrible person.

It is known that humans require interaction between each other. As a result we tend to get attached and depend on them. We tend to advocate others from groups and keep to the same people. J. D. Salinger explores this in his book in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye. This book is beloved by many because it is so easy to connect to, even our generation now can connect to Holden and some of the things he goes through. The story is about a boy named Holden, he gets kicked out of school multiple times, and instead of telling his parents he wanders around New York in search of someone that cares and that he can make a connection with. Growing up is hard, and we need human connection to make through the hard times.

4. Who does Holden meet in the nightclub of the hotel? Why do these women depress him? Why does he spend time with them then? Three older women, because they are obsessed with movie stars

The night out with Jane was a bitter one and I complained about it as I made my way back into the dorms. This rarely happened to me so I was still depressed. It felt as if she wasn’t fancying me and I’m usually the one that starts to get bored in the relationship. As I was taking in this strange feeling I noticed that the whole school was pretty empty. The place felt so cold and dark like a goddam mausoleum and I thought out loud, "Where the hell is everybody?" Holden didn't answer, not that I was expecting him to. As I started to undress, I remembered the composition he had to write for me and I asked him, “you have the composition done.” "It's on the goddamn bed," he answered. He and his language, I bet he can't say a single sentence

IF YOU really want to know, the first thing you’d probably want to hear about is what happened to me while I was at that goddam place and what they did to me, and what happened between my parents and me and all that crap, but I’d rather not go into it. To tell the truth, that stuff made no difference on me. And besides, my parents would be in way over their heads if I told you anything personal about them. They’re as touchy as hell, they are. What I will tell you about is what happened after I left that goddam place, after that sonuvabitch finally let me out.

Holden sat in the all black suburban vehicle, resting his head on the panel beside him, this car happened to be particularly quiet. Shuttling his driving father and a very pissed off Holden, his father didn't even bother to make small talk with him. He stared holes into the car in front of him, which held his mother and siblings. If there was one thing everyone could agree on it's he and Nate remain separated before they strangled one another. That was unanimous.

Holden Caulfield has recently been showing various signs of depression. A girl named Phoebe Caulfield, Holden’s sister, showed concern about her brother. One night she said to him, “You don’t like anything that’s happening” (Salinger, 169), and when he responded, “Yes I do. Sure I do” (Salinger, 169), she challenged him. She told him, “Name one thing” (Salinger, 169), and was concerned when he answered, after a long pause, “I like Allie” (Salinger, 169). Allie is Holden’s late brother, and Phoebe was worried to hear that the only thing her brother likes about this world is something that isn’t even there anymore.

“I swear to God I’m crazy. I admit it.” It is very easy to automatically assume that Holden Caulfield is crazy. It’s even a logical assumption since Caulfield himself admits to being crazy twice throughout the course of the book. However, calling Holden Caulfield crazy is almost the same as calling the majority of the human race crazy also. Holden Caulfield is just an adolescent trying to prevent himself from turning into what he despises the most, a phony. Most of Caulfield’s actions and thoughts are the same as of many people, the difference being that Holden acts upon those thoughts and has them down in writing.

The maturing of oneself is not only a journey of self discovery, but a process of the mind. In the Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D. Salinger we follow a teenager who’s ups and downs fill the plot of the book. The teenager, Holden Caulfield, shows the reader what it can be like when going through many tragedies as a young adult. The book is followed by a set of many questions. Throughout the book you find the answer to these question and why Holden becomes what he becomes.

It didn’t happen all at once it was a long process. But that doesn’t matter too much, because now I’m here and I’m working on recovery when you tell people you’re in a mental hospital or even scarier is a sanitarium, they freak out and expect you to be some psycho maniac killer. But that’s really not the case there are lots of very normal people here, I like to think I’m on of them. There really is no definition of normal because one person’s normal is another person’ crazy. It’s all in perspective really. My parents didn’t really think this was normal that’s for sure. I was pretty sure they were coming to visit, but you never know with them, but as long as old Phoebe was with them they’d sure as hell be here. Good ‘ol Phoebe she missed me

One day Garfield was just sleeping in his bed like normal when his alarm rang he woke up feeling drowsy. He used his normal technique to get down from the dresser. When he walked out the door he saw lasagna. The whole house was made of it. Garfield knew this wasn’t reality. He conformed to his urges to eat the lasagna. After he was done with all the lasagna there was no excess lasagna leftover.

In Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger creates a unique narration through the way Holden speaks. In The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger reveals the inner Holden Caufield through the style of Salinger's writing. Salinger writes the book as if Holden Caulfield speaks directly through the reader, like a kid telling a story to his friends. Like with most conversations, there is more to infer from not only the speaker says, but also how the speaker says it. In the book, readers can infer that Holden is much more than a cynical kid. In reality, he is "too affectionate" and "very emotional" (76), much like his little sister Phoebe.

Emma Bertrand pressed a hand against the churning in her stomach and forced herself to move—one foot in front of the other. As silent as possible, she crept along the dark hallway toward her mother’s bedchamber. Her father said the sickroom was no place for a twelve-year-old girl, but she had to know for certain if her suspicions were true.
