Catcher in the rye Q A chpts 13 28
QUESTIONS FOR THE CATCHER IN THE RYE1. Show two ways in which the incident with Maurice and the prostitute demonstrate the theme of man's inhumanity to man (an aspect of the world of experience). One incident (which involves the prostitute) is when Holden didn't want to have sex with her but instead wanted to chat, she responded by saying, "What the heck ya wanna talk about?" This just shows that talking isn't what she is used to doing, even if she is getting paid for it. She is probably used to the lascivious male who is only looking to satisfy his needs. Another incident is when Maurice and Sunny enter Holden's room asking for more money. You can tell that they aren't used to manners and doing things in a civilized way. She comes in and sits on the window sill, Maurice sits down in the big chair. "They acted like they owned the damn place". 1. What is the significance of presenting the episode of nuns at this point in the novel? I think the purpose was to show a more positive, religious and faithful Holden Caulfield. The fact that he gives them money and wishes that he could've given them more just shows that he is a nice person, who does have morals (even though he did ask for
1. Explain the significance of Phoebe's choice of middle name- "Weatherfield" Phoebe saves Holden by: 1) I think by seeing the way that Phoebe wanted to come with Holden, he realized that what he is doing is ridiculous. If Phoebe looks ridiculous in this situation then it's obvious that Holden does too. 2) I think that by Phoebe refusing to stop crying and walk with him made him realize that he too is being stubborn and that things can't always work out the way people want them too. 3) I think with Phoebe going through the whole process of being mad at Holden and then talking to him once again, made Holden realize that he might have been mad at the world, but seeing Phoebe in this state of innocence made him realize that all things come to an end and that he can't stay mad at the world forever. I think that the world can be seen as an innocent child. If you corrupt it then you end up living a nightmare. You must live with all the problems and consequences of this corruption. Holden gets angry with Sally Hayes because she does not want to go away to Massachusetts and Vermont with him. She thinks that they are just children. Holden hates that Sally won't just take risks and live life on the edge. Sally is realistic and thinks about what will happen in the future and the hardships that they will have to go through.
