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
Luce is a typical member of the society failing Holden. Holden likes the Museum of Natural History because: 1) It brings back memories of when Phoebe and him were in the same school and they used to go together. It's obviously unusual behaviour and it shouldn't happen. He'd rather kids stay kids for as long as they have to. Real "mature" people can usually handle the alcohol and they know when to not past their limit. Explain the significance of the graffiti in the museum and Holden's reaction to it. He can act like he has a bullet in his guts because he is drunk and when you are drunk you are sort of "in another world". 2) A lot of his childhood was spent in this museum, he loves the memories of watching the movie in the big auditorium and the way it used to smell, small stuff that is really significant to him. He wishes that he can be a kid forever and that he could always stay the same. I think that because Holden is not "there" morally and spiritually he does not see the way of the "mature man". It's a child-like place where kids learn about and discover the world around them. I think that even though Holden didn't know him too well he still feels for him. Antolini give Holden? Explain in your own words.
