Marriage Poem

Always on our mind,
From when your young,
Till the date comes,
What color will it be,
What flowers,
Where will it be,
Does this match,
And most importantly who will be with you,
But what if it never comes,
What if you never find that perfect person,
But our those our worries,
Or societies?
Is it our wedding,
Or societies?
Our those our traditions or histories.

The Catcher in the Rye

I think that Holden wants to be a Catcher in the rye because he sees how society is and he wants to stop it, it's more then saving the children and making sure they don't end up like Allie, its the fact that he doesn't want them to conform to society and the ways it's running, and I think the message he's trying to get across is that the children are our future and that we can't just let them fall of off the cliff and become phony like all he other people he came across while in the real world. The children he's trying to save aren't just young children they are like high schoolers, he saw that high school is all phony and that when we graduate we don't know what the world is like, I mean look at Holden when he went to the real world he didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to react to all the events that occurred. So if someone not like Holden went out there they would be like everyone else because they don't know who they are themselves.

I swear I'm a mad man

“I swear to God I’m a madman,” is a quote that stuck out to me in chapters 16-18 because he admits that he's wrong and crazy and that his thoughts really are ridiculous. Thats not because holden is weird but because he doesn't wanna conform to society. But I can't hold that against home because if he knows he's crazy he can at least no act like it anymore but he continues and that shows that he's not afraid to be true to himself. We also see he's crazy when he's talking to Sally about going away and living in a cabin, and although he could of just got up and did that one day he didn't because he's need to find someone to take and see his thoughts the same way as him. He's sad though when she turns him down not breaches she denied him but she pretty much said that his thoughts are ridiculously stupid.
