The Red Hunting Cap Massimo Giannone There are many motifs throughout the Catcher in the Rye but one really interests me‚ and that is Holden’s red hunting cap. The red hunting cap is a motif that symbolizes Holden’s alter ego‚ the side of Holden that wants to confidently stand out. Its red colour is vibrant and eye-catching‚ its brim is pointier and different than a regular baseball cap that most kids wear‚ and by turning it backwards‚ it resembles a back catcher in baseball.

Holden Caulfield’s red hunting cap is a symbol for his individuality. Caulfield only wears his hat when he “d[oes]n’t give a damn how [he] look[s]” and when he knows “[he] wouldn’t meet anybody that kn[ows] [him]” (88‚ 122). Caulfield is insecure about himself--this is demonstrated by his inability to connect well with others--and his “corny” hat is one of his insecurities (18). Despite how insecure he is about his individuality--and subsequently his hat--he still keeps it close by. Most of

Theodore Roosevelt describes what the Western part of the United States is like in his book Ranch Life and the Hunting-Trail. He states that” the whole region is one vast stretch of grazing country‚ with only here and there spots of farmland‚ in most places there being nothing more like agriculture than is implied in the cutting of some tons of wild hay or the planting of a garden patch for home use” (Roosevelt‚ 1).

We pointed the gun‚ and bam‚ my first deer was down‚ this was when I knew that this place was going to be a special place to me. Growing up‚ going to deer camp with my daddy was always a very exciting thing for me. Hopewell was practically where I grew up; the dusty dirt roads‚ beautiful and quiet backwoods‚ deep mud holes‚ wild animals‚ friends and family made that place a home for me. Most people wouldn’t really consider their deer camp as their safe place and I guess that’s what makes me different

There are‚ however‚ many different opinions on the truth of this proverb. Does separation and the creation of boundaries really keep the peace and make people better neighbours or do the boundaries we place
