Review of Catcher in the Rye
Please respond. What do you think of the book? Do you have examples of a line in the book where it had a more "metaphorical" meaning?
Literacy Meets Technology is a blog for teachers and educators who are interested in seeing how technology can play an instrumental role in literacy instruction and development at the middle school and high school levels.
I agree with the video blogger, Holden can be annoying sometimes. His questionable behavior brings to light some characteristics that most people don't have. When Holden was in NYC, we see a lot of this strange behavior. For example, when he was standing in the phone booth for 20 minutes without having any intention of calling anyone. There was definitely an underlying meaning to that part of the story. Overall I think it's a good book.

I am actually really enjoying the book at this point because now I am searching for those underlying "metaphorical" meanings. Thanks for your post Evan!
