User:Nelsonlopez1/student draft of Catcher in the Rye

Holden spots two nuns with suitcases and instantly concludes that he hates them. Holden then describes his random hatred for people he doesn't even know and decides to converse with the nuns. He makes a small contribution because one of the nuns has a donation basket. Holden persists as the nuns worry whether he can afford to donate his $10. When the nuns leave, he loathes his conversation with them and regrets his charitable actions, concluding that money makes you "blue". Holden then travels to the park, only to complain about how boring and dirty it is. After an encounter with a friend of Phoebe's, Holden travels to an old museum. He reminisces about his fascination in museums, because nothing changes in a museum, everything stays the same. When the time to meet up with Sally came, they both enjoy each others company. They visit the ice rink where they have a good time until Holden makes a scene, ranting about how Sally and him should run away. He ends up getting rejected by Sally and he makes her cry. Holden begs for forgiveness and Sally runs off. Feeling alone, Holden grabs a bite to eat and ends up getting intoxicated at a local bar.

Reception
Catcher in the Rye received great and strong reviews. Gerald Rosen complimented the author's incorporation of nonfictional places and events, into a fictional story. Rosen praised the book's detail of the main character, Holden, for example, his noticable disillusionment for his approvement of his brother, D.B. . Rosen also admires Salinger's hidden themes within the story, that reveal themselves as the book progresses. Carl F. Strauch described the book as "exciting" and called it a "conservative protest" to the modern society of that day. Strauch also complimented Salinger's incorporation of "awareness, and resourcefulness of academic commentators . Strauch also goes on to explain how the book provides understanding for the main character, Holden, in addition to the prodominantly negative opinions of the reader . Both critiques ended in positive comments of Catcher in the Rye and tell that it is a book worth reading.
