That was a great book. Its so simple. He flunked school. Thats not so hard to see is it? Its in the beginning of the book and stretches to the end. You didn't read it did you?
 QUOTE(lAzN YiN YanGl @ Mar 18 2005, 6:51 PM) Oh I did the same thing earlier! You really should read it again if you didn't catch it, but he was a failure (in his mind) because he wanted to be the Catcher in the Rye and stop the children from growing and losing their innoence. He didn't want them to be old and become "phony" so he failed at that. There are examples and if you need then just tell me =].  Um... thats not in the book. What the f**k? |

"He flunked school" ?? that's not a good reason to explain why he was a failure. and that part you quoted from lAzN YiN YanGl is in the book. although i'm not sure if that's really the answer, but it's probably is because he always wanted protect all the innocent things and people. There were many innocent "things/people" mentioned in the book, like the ducks from the lagoon in Central Park, Phoebe, Allie, all the children, etc. And he hated how all the adults were phonies so he (my teacher said) "alienated or isolated himself from the adult world." so yea.. read the book. it's a good book, you'll get it. |
