Holden sees change in a way thatР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs different from most people. Holden had felt that Allie was smart for his age, Holden claims that Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™he was two years younger than I was, but he was about fifty times as intelligentР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ. AllieР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs death is the possibility the reason why Holden is so afraid of change, it is what created the fear to begin with. He ended up breaking his own hand because of this.

The catcher in the rye timeline windows#

He began to break all of the windows in the garage with his bare hands. The same night that Allie died, Holden did not deal with it so well. Holden believed that Allie was the only person who deeply understood him. Allie had died 3 years before the timeline of the book. Holden complains about a lot in his life but something that really got to him was his brother Allie.

Holden was living in Pencey Prep (the school) and was failing all but one of his classes which was English. In J.D SalingerР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs novel, The Catcher In The Rye, the character that we get to follow is Holden. Holden is afraid of change and it is very obvious due to the way he acts to certain aspects of life. Holden has many problems in life including the death of his brother Allie. Instead he is a troubled protagonist, that really doesnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt have any answers for life. Within HoldenР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs two-day journey, it becomes known very quick that Holden isnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt the typical perfect protagonist. SalingerР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™The Catcher in the RyeР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ puts us in the person of view of Holden, the main character. ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs going to happen and thereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs nothing you can do about it. As imperfect humans, I think most of us are afraid of change even if we donР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt show it.
