Suzanne Ocsai suzanneocsai — I am conflicted about this book. It honestly terrifies me, and I'm not being trite. I read this book in 9th grade and haven't picked it up since. Teaching it this year required me to face it again. It changed the way I saw things. This book haunted me. I wonder if anyone else felt the same way. I almost felt as if I shouldn't pass this book on to my 10th graders...did I have that right? But I don't think they were nearly as affected as I was. The question I want to know the answer to is this -- is this a depressing book? I found it so, because I saw it as hopeless. Holden has this insanely big moment while watching Phoebe on the carousel. He actually SEES that he should not try to catch children. He understands in that moment that will not aid children - that they should fall. So what does he go into the mental institution AFTER having this important epiphany? This has never made sense to me, and I beg anyone to explain it to me. If he truly understands that he cannot be the catcher in the rye, why does he need to undergo pyschiatric therapy? Because it has such a profound effect on him (the realization) that he therefore breaks down? But to me, this moment of realization is the moment of his salvation. This moment is hopeful, but the end of the book is not. I don't understand. Is the message for us to understand the hopelessness of adulthood? Who, after all, does Salinger sympathize with? Is Salinger trying to communicate to us that Holden is a genius, seeing the true nature of the world and adulthood, or does Salinger regard Holden as a sad case whose world falls apart because he cannot face adulthood with any sort of hope in his heart?
