Catcher in the Rye is just one crappy fiat clown world interaction after another. No wonder Holden is so depressed.
I didn't read this in school, but I'd just loove to hear some literature teacher try to tell me it's all just cause he's a moody pubescent teen.
Even if it was back then I'd probably get into an argument about it. And you know what? It'd all be because I'm just a moody teenager.
