In the book their are several different examples of figurative language. through out the book holden uses several metaphors, such as on page 10 he discribes living with Old Spencer as living in a museum. "He bored me to death, living with him was like living in a museum. It was drafty, full of vast open spaces and slippery Floors" (10)
Another he describes his living with old Spencer "At times i felt like his prostitute and i'm sure on occasion he probably felt that way too". (10) he's describing how he feels himself being bought for his labors.
He said, in one part, that a woman's body is like a violin and all, and that it takes a terrific musician to play it right" (93). The comparison between the two is a funny yet clever.
