THEMES


 * Alienized **
 * Well Holden is alienized because of he separates himself from everybody else. So he is making an outcast of himself. Its mostly from his emotions and all the pain and sadness he felt. When I read this book, I think Holden wants to be alienized and be by himself. Maybe he doesnt but it sure seems like that he does. **


 * wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww **
 * Phoniness of the Adult World **
 * Holden talks about how the adult world is phoniness and he tries to pick out other people about there phoniness. Really he is the fake one, acting like an adult. He tries doing adult things such as drinking, smoking, staying in a hotel, and other things too. Holden just wants to believe that the world is simple. And that one half of the world is sweet and nice, while the other half is phoniness. **

 * Loss of Innocence **
 * Acting like an adult, Holden's losing his innocence. Mentally it is making him lose hope for himself and its shutting himself down. im thinking he is trying to run away from growing up because he must know that the world is not so innocence. The only innocent person left in the story is his little sister Phoebe, and he doesnt want her to be corrupted. **
