I think he wanted the readers to know that he was not like a lot of other men out there who tend to think that the only way to get to know a girl is to get sexy. This statement shows Holden’s sensitive side. “You don’t always have to get too sexy to get to know a girl.” I think the reader would probably have figured that our for her or himself. I do not think he should have told the reader that he was such a terrific liar. He finds interest in lying to people because he finds their responses to his lies quite amusing. Holden lies to people depending upon who they are and how they approach him. I think that Holden is wrong because I’m actually the most terrific liar one has ever seen in his or her life. “I’m the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life.” Especially when they are holding a serious conversation because the picking of the nose draws the listener’s attention away from the conversation. Holden says that he did not care if the man was picking in his nose, but I think that he would actually prefer that the man stop because it is very disgusting to watch somebody pick their nose. I didn’t care, except that it’s pretty disgusting to watch somebody pick their nose.” “I guess he thought it was all right to do because it was only me that was in the room. I think that it is actually easier for a hot-shot to play the game because he or she will usually have followers or admirers and these admirers make it easy for the hot-shot to make a move in this game. I personally feel that life is a game that everyone must learn to play whether they are hot-shots or not. This time I have to disagree with Holden. If they are just regular ordinary people, then they are not going through life as if it was a game. He feels that if people are not considered to be hot-shots, then those people are not participating in this so-called game of life. Holden feels that in order for life to be a game one must be a hot-shot. But if you get on the other side, where there aren’t any hot-shots, then what’s a game about it? Nothing. If you get on the side where all the hotshots are, then it’s a game, all right-I’ll admit that. They have money and they can use the money to bribe people so their reputations are not messed up. The only difference is that the crooks at more expensive schools may get away with the crime because they have an advantage that crooks in other schools do not have. Not only do they have crooks, but they also have high-class crooks. Although they think that way, they are making the wrong assumption because they have crooks too. I agree with this statement because people tend to assume that if the school is very expensive, then the crime rate will be lower. “The more expensive the school is, the more crooks it has-I’m not kidding.” Instead, he is going to skip all of the usual details and jump to the real stories about his life that he finds and interesting, and that I also found very interesting. It shows that the narrator is not going to start the book off by giving the reader boring details about his life. This is a very catchy statement that made me want to continue reading at my own willing and not to just be continuing so I can finish this assignment. It gave me a sense that the book was going to be very interesting and real. I like the way that he started this book off.

This statement actually caught my full attention. “If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.” 10 Quotes and Responses from The Catcher in the Rye
