The Catcher in the Rye ( 115 - 150 )

Summary
      Holden was waiting for the time to finally come so that he could met this girl named Sally. When he met her according to him she looked amazing and even though he didn't really like her it kind of made him want to be with her. But , after they went to see the movie and she met that guy she used to know he became mad at her. After she has this idea that they should go skating and they did . When they went to go get food after Holden came up with some crazy idea about runaway and taking her with him right then and there however, Sally was not for doing so he became really mad at her. He said some harsh things to her and even though he said sorry she still left.Then he sees this guy , Caulfield and he asks him about his sex life.

Quote : " If a body catch a body coming through the rye " ( Salinger 115).

Reaction : After I read this sentence on page 115 it hit my mind that this was an important part of my book. It was basically the title of the book and that shows that this is some major symbol to the whole story. I really don't get the reason as to why the guy a the park was saying this I just know that this made the main character , Holden happier than what he was because he says that after hearing what the guy said he was less depressed than he was before .
