Dr.G. Catcher chapters 9-14 questions and themes
In your comments,
bullet 3 HOT Questions for discussion and tweak your working theme -- what does Salinger suggest we Lear from Holden's first madman day?
3) Why did Holden decide to talk to his brother Allie? Why did Holden lie to the girls in the lavender room? Why did Holden want a prostitute to come to his room? 1) Salinger wants us to learn from Holden's first ma man day what things bother Holden and make him feel depressed or uncomfortable.
1) Do you guys think Holden is sensitive because of hat he went through with his brother? Why does Holden want a prostitue to come to his room?do you think making new friends and finding someone he is comfortable to talk will help him? 2) Salinger wants us to learn from Holden's mad man days that there are many things that aggrivates Holden. He can feel alone and depressed as well as destroyed and lonely. Holden gets uncomfortable easily
1) Why does Holden only talk to the prostitute and why does he lie about a surgery? 2) Why does Holden lie about his name to the three girls at the club? 3) Why does Holden ask the cab driver where the ducks go in the winter?
Theme:Salinger wants us to learn from Holden's madman day that people are self-centered and if you are not a big shot then they will treat you with no respect.
1. What in Holden changed that he wanted to talk about his brother? 2. Why won't Holden call Jane even though he says he is going to? 3. Why does Holden pay the prostitute if he just wants to talk? Theme: Like Matt I also believe Salinger wants the readers to learn that people who think they are better than you will not respect you.
1. Did something happen between Holden and Jane that is keeping him from contacting her? 2. Why does Holden seem to have a lot of frustration toward his parents, especially his mom? 3. Why does he constantly lie about his identity when no one knows who he is anyway. Theme: One will not find answers to their questions or have closure with their past if they don't go looking for it.
-Why is Holden so caught up on Jane? -Why is Holden always lying about his name? -Is holden so sensitive because of his brother's death, or did something further happen? Theme: Salinger wants us to learn from Holden's madman days that if you're self-centered, you won't get the respect that you're seeking for.
1. Why did Holden want to talk to a prostitute when he really wishes to talk to Jane? 2. Did something specific happen betweem Jane and holden that led to them not speaking to eachother? 3. Why does Holden seem to feel comfortable lying about who he is? Theme: Salinger wants us to learn from Holden's madman days that loving yourself is not enough to earn respect from others.
•why does Holden lie so much? •why does he want a prostitute? •why does he cry over $5? People don't need other people to boost their confidence. People should love themselves for who they are and don't change who you are too have a better self esteem.

-Why does Holden want to talk to a prostitute?
-Why does Holden lie about his name?

Salinger wants us to believe that if you are basically in love with yourself then you won't get the respect you want.

People don't need other people to boost their confidence. People should love themselves for who they are and don't change who you are too have a better self esteem.
- how come Holden has waited so long to talk to jane?
-why did he fight about paying an extra $5?
-why does Holden keep lying?
Theme: From Salingers three mad man days he wants us to learn that people will treat you by the way you act and that lying gets you nowhere.
