Is Holden A Reliable Narrator
Is Holden a reliable narrator?
Yes and no. The main reason is the same for both these answers: Holdens is explaining events that are happening to him. That means that he has the best knowledge about the topic but also that he is interpreting and telling them in a totally subjective way which could be different from other people's point of view. One more reason to answer negatively is that Holden calls himself "the biggest liar you ever seen in your life" which is clearly a strike against his reliability. However, he is not deeply deceitful. He makes a point of saying what he sees. He tells unpleasant things about himself, such as his fight with Maurice. In conclusion I would say that he is as reliable as anyone can be.

    Holden's Contradictions In Catcher In The Rye

    When Holden was with Phoebe, she was hurt by him moving away. He then promises her, “I'm going home. Im going home as soon as you go to school” (Salinger 208). This contrasts and contradicts what he earlier said about wanting to move away. He had planned out his whole life out West. He was so set on going somewhere that no one would know him and that he would not have to communicate with. He may have done this because he realized that he was not ready and that he was still a kid. He may have seen that he should get an education and that he needed help, which he got.…

    Dialectic Journal for Catcher in the Rye

    This excerpt makes me very curious about his family members. The tone makes me believe that Holden probably is ashamed by them or he doesn’t like them when he describes them as “crap”. His parents’ attitude toward telling others personal stories is also confusing. It is not clear whether they are the ones inhibiting Holden from telling or not. I predict that Holden is reluctant when it comes to uncovering truths about his life. This quote is important because it gives me background information into Holden’s family life, as well as revealing a variety of characteristics of his personality. From this quote, I could tell that Holden does not have motivation to excel in school and he does not seem to care about getting kicked out. Being the teenager that he is, Holden does not realize the importance of education in his life, thus not caring about the severe consequences.…

    The strongest proof of this is when Holden himself admits that he is depressed. Also, in one part of the story, Holden was crazy for girl company, but hearing that she went to the movies, de didn’t feel that way anymore. Additionally, he told Sally that they should run away together and live a new life, showing that he is dissatisfied with society and wishes for a better place.

    Character Analysis: Holden Caulfield

    Holden Caulfield is J.D. Salinger’s main character in The Catcher in the Rye. We learn several interesting things about Holden, however, while learning the these we are not experiencing or seeing what Holden is. We learn about it through Holden’s perspective throughout the entire story like, for example, the death of his younger brother, Allie or the time James Castle committed suicide by jumping out of the school window. Most of these experiences have a significant meaning behind them and we find these out by reading the book. We get to know Holden in a personal way. While reading, comprehending, and understanding Holden’s emotions towards the encounters he has with the characters in this book, which makes it very interesting.…

    Holden Caulfield Phony Analysis

    Holden Caulfield is a phony. Even though the story is being told from his point of view we can conclude that he is fake. Not only is he an impulsive liar but he is a great hypocrite. He has no remorse about any of his actions towards people, and everything and everyone he meets is a phony in his eyes. Holden Caulfield can never say anything truly good about anyone, he always has something to bring them down. Even little things upsets him, like when Mr. Spencer, Holden’s old teacher at Pencey Prep, “started going into this nodding routine”, he said “You never saw anyone nod as much in your life as Old…

    The outsider Holden Caulfield is respo

    We also see that Holden’s expectations for humanity are too high, so hardly anyone meets his standards; therefore, he dislikes most people and stays away from them. He only seems to see and pin point out the negative sides of a surrounding or a character for example when Holden talks about Ackley ‘Ackley is dirty, pimply, and all-around unhygienic.‘ this shows him making judgements of other people, trying to find a way…

    Catcher In The Rye Holden's Flashback Analysis

    A major symptom that Holden handles are his flashbacks regarding his traumatic memories. Holden has experienced more than one traumatic event and throughout it is clear that Holden remembers each event in the back of his mind, He is always thinking about his brother or he does things to remind him of his brother’s death. “The thing was, I couldn’t… anything anyway.” (Salinger 38-39). Holden describes his brother Allie in this passage. He chooses to write about his brother’s baseball glove because of the importance of his brother to him. He has several other flashbacks such as when he didn’t let Allies ride his bike with Holden and his friend or the other time when Allie comes into mind when Holden describes if he could be anybody he would be a catcher in the rye.…

    Holden Caulfield Narrative Style Analysis

    Holden Caulfield is the protagonist and the first-person narrator of the book. I liked the narrating style of this novel, it used common slang terms that Holden and most teenagers would use. The narrating style makes the story seem realistic and gives a detailed capture of what is exactly going on in Holden's head. The repetition in the book set the tone of Holden, he repeatedly used words that lacked concern. The diction in this book gives hints about what time period this story is taking place in before the specific year is actually revealed. Holden uses words such as dough to mention money and says grippe when he talks about the flu. These words let me know the story took place in the mid 1900’s.…

    Holden's Trust Issues

    Holden Caufield does not think that he can trust anybody. Throughout the book Holden shows multiple signs of people trying to help him, but he ultimately pushes them away. I believe that this stems from his original problem when he lost both of his brothers. He trusted that his family would stay and protect him, but when Allie died and D.B. "sold out," his parents sent him away. So to Holden, the word trust means betrayal.…

    How Does Holden Contradict

    Holden knows that his plan is impossible, it is a comforting daydream born out of desperation; Holden resorts to fantasy because his desires ultimately contradict. Holden begins this passage gripped by paranoia that he will “never get to the other side of the street”(217) and that “nobody’d ever see [him] again”(217). Sweating through his shirt, he becomes so distressed that he begins to plead with Allie to save him, despite the fact that he considers the interaction “make believe”(218). Although Holden does not believe that Allie can really help him, he is driven to praying to him out of lack of better options. Holden is “still sweating”(218),meaning that his anxiety persists, as he decides to “go away”(218).…
