Innocence: He talk about himself as a big sex maniac, but really he is still a virgin. He can never bring himself to have sex with a prostitute. One question is. Why is Holden so obsessed with innocence? Who seems innocent to him?
Sadness: Depressed or depressing occurs 41 times in this book, and happy only 5 times. Holden is most happy
at the end of chapter twenty-five, while he watches his sister Phoebe go around on the carousel. In fact, he's so happy that he's "damn near bawling." What's up with that? Why does this, of all things make him happy?
Lies and Deceit: Phony occurs 47 times in this book, Holden calls people this when he doesn't like them. In the story he uses the word "phony" quit often. when he uses the word Phony to describe people, I believe he more or less has ignorance for the word. Other people are more understanding with the grip on growing up then he is.
