A Brief Introduction to the NovelThe Catcher in the Rye is told by a sixteen-year-old young man named Holden Caulfield. The events he narrates take place in the few days between the end of the fall school term and Christmas. Holden tells his own story in a mental hospital because he is undergoing treatment there.Holden was born in a middle class family. His father strongly hopes he gets good education in order to be a successful and wealthy man. But Holden is poor at study. He is expelled from the school Pencey Prep for fourth time for his failure in study. He hates everything phony in the school, the classmates and the teachers. He decides to run away from it without letting his parents know that. So he goes to the New York City. The novel mainly depicts Holden’s three-day adventure and his psychological feelings. He smokes, drinks, and even calls the girl. He is so depressed by the phoniness of the adult world that his spirit disintegrates. At last, he is sent to the hospital to receive the treatment.?Holden ends his narrative here without telling the readers how he goes home and gets?“sick.” He plans to go to a new school in the fall. It is good for Holden that he has the optimistic attitude to his future more or less at last.B. A Brief Introduction to the AuthorJ.D.
