# Excellent review of The Catcher in the Rye 1#
One morning in the summer vacation, my mother and I walked on the path paved with stone slabs, feeling the breeze blowing from both sides of the Han River, listening to the crisp insects and feeling the beauty of life. Enjoying the beautiful scenery all the way, I unconsciously came to the Dragon Boat Cultural Park on the west bank of the Han River. My mother suddenly stopped and said, "How about reading together?" "Great!" I jumped three feet high and answered excitedly. Go into Ankang to study. My mother picked up a book from rows of shelves and handed it to me. The title is The Catcher in the Rye. My mother said meaningfully, "I think you can read this book." At that time, I thought the book was very thin and the name was very interesting. I thought I would have a casual look, but I didn't expect this thin book to bring me a lot of life inspiration.
The content of this book is so wonderful that I am fascinated by it. The book describes that the United States was in the 1940s and 1950s, and the society was very chaotic. People are lacking in ideals and depressed. Just like a machine, it mechanically lives the life it can live, and it is all day long, so there is a "beat generation". Holden, the hero, is one of them. He is addicted to smoking and drinking, and he is not motivated, but he has not reached the point of taking drugs. Why? It turns out that in the deepest part of his heart, there is a most beautiful and pure ideal-to be a catcher in the rye.
The society we live in is developing with each passing day. With the progress of society, people's ideals are like a wisp of smoke, drifting farther and farther, becoming more and more blurred and farther away. They forgot their ideals, lost their initial enthusiasm for life, and even that little hope for life disappeared without a trace, and gradually began to yearn for a mediocre and boring life.
I once asked some people, and they told me that this is "living in the present" and "trying to live every day well and not pursuing those so-called ideals". But I disagree with this statement. I don't make progress all day. Is this "living in the moment"? Life is confused, is this also "living in the present"? Forget the so-called ideal, is this still "living in the present"? I never thought of it that way!
We are a group of teenagers living in a new era. We will be confused and annoyed, but they will eventually be expelled from our state of mind by ideals. We should have ideals, be ambitious and work hard for them. Even if we failed, at least we tried. On the way forward, an ideal life will be wonderful, and an ideal life will be beautiful!
Petofi once said, "Once the ideal is lost, the flower of youth will wither, because the ideal is the light and heat of youth". Why Holden doesn't take drugs is precisely because his ideal is guiding him. Therefore, no matter what difficulties we are in, we should not forget our ideals.
Reading Ankang, several birds fly by from time to time in the blue sky, looking at the clear water of a river, and suddenly thinking of Li Bai's poem: "Riding the wind and waves sometimes, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea". Students, let's hang the ideal sail together and "ride the wind and waves" in this vast world!

The Catcher in the Rye has long been famous, but I just finished reading it today. There are people who finished watching it later than me. It takes a lot of patience to read such a long book without plot, which is really understandable.
Fortunately, I have been challenging myself recently, and patience has temporarily overcome disgust and giving up. I finished reading the last punctuation mark.
Fourteen-and fifteen-year-old children look at the world around them with rebellious, disgusting and disdainful eyes. He smokes, drinks, wants to find a woman and plays truant. In short, he has done all the bad things at this age without going to jail, and his natural bad temper has spread like a flood. Listening to his complaints, I feel that his world is too gloomy. He is really decadent. Can jump out of the book, his world is really simple: hate a few classmates, fail the exam, want to do what all adults do, and dream about the future. Everyone has experienced it, but in different forms.
He is so cute, judging his brother, missing his brother, doting on his sister and worrying about his hysterical mother ... especially when he is with his sister, we can see that he is a good brother, who, like all brothers, loves, dotes on and indulges this relative and gives her his brother's share.
A bad person who is kind to his family is not a complete bad person, not to mention that he is still a child.
This book should be famous for writing about the inner confusion of children of this age. I'm almost 30 years old. What I got from this book is how to treat children of this age correctly.
# "The Catcher in the Rye" Excellent composition after reading 3#
"I want to be a catcher in the rye in the future. There are a group of children playing in the wheat field. Thousands of children, there is no adult around, I mean, except me. What about me? Right on the edge of that damn cliff, my job is to observe. If any child comes to the edge of the cliff, I will catch him-I mean, the children are running wildly, and I don't know where the children are running. I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. I do this all day. I just want to be a catcher in the rye. " This is the dream revealed by the protagonist Holden when he finally talked to his sister.
What a ridiculous and even absurd idea it seems to see a wheat field. But after reading this book, I can't help but admire the protagonist. In that era of dirty social atmosphere, the hero wanted to see a spiritual wheat field. He wants to keep his spiritual territory and the hope of this society-pure children. He doesn't want children to be polluted by all kinds of ugliness and hypocrisy in the adult world. What he really wants to do is a "pure" spiritual patron saint.
The hero's dream reminds me of myself and some spiritual things of our time. My first reaction is that the words "time is money", "efficiency first" and "commercialization" that frequently appear in this era all imply some characteristics of our society: quick success, materialization and lack of faith.
Modern civilization is a civilization that is eager for quick success and instant benefit. It only seeks results and despises the process. For example, when traveling, people take a map with a camera on their shoulders, look for the places marked on the map, brush a few times on a mountain peak or a pavilion, and leave contentedly. Every time I watch a small flag, a group tour, I feel that modern people don't have enough spirituality to face nature, and nature disappears in the squeeze of the crowd. Yes, we travel, but where is the peace? Where is the real spiritual pleasure? Where is the blending with nature?
Let me talk about materialization first. Since ancient times, all sages have advocated a simple lifestyle in order not to be slaves of desire and to maintain spiritual freedom. Plato said: "People who have gold in their chests don't need to live under the golden roof." Or in the words of Confucius: "Where a gentleman lives, how can he be humble?" . Zhou believes that if a person attaches too much importance to material enjoyment, he will inevitably pay a spiritual price. People's physiological needs are limited, nothing more than food and clothing, beyond which is luxury, and luxury is endless. Food and clothing is a natural need, and luxury desire is stimulated by the expanding market. When you become rich, some people can become richer, so you will never be satisfied and must earn more and more money. In this way, making money becomes your only purpose. Even if you are a painter, there is still some pursuit of art; Even if you are a scholar, who cares about the conscience of science? Therefore, there are more and more "celebrities" hyped by the news media in our society, but there are fewer and fewer real great men.
Because everything around us is gradually materialized, even love can't be immune, and some people even deny the meaning of spirit, because they demand that life is forced to pursue material wealth and have no time to take care of spiritual wealth.
For different people, the world presents different faces. In the eyes of the mentally poor, the world is also poor. The rich beauty of the world is open according to the openness of everyone's mind. For tone blindness, Beethoven is equal to non-existence; For painting blindness, Picasso does not exist; For those who are busy with vanity fair, it is equal to non-existence; For those who only read popular novels, the literary treasure house from Homer to Hemingway is equivalent to non-existence.
Think about how many times we have left ourselves out of the richness and beauty of the world. A person who often talks with ancient and modern philosophers and writers in reading and meditation, and a person who only reads anecdotes and murder stories live in different worlds!
So, do we still say that spirit is useless?
So, do we still laugh at the protagonist's naivety?
We are the ones who really don't understand the true meaning of life.

Under the strong recommendation of classmates, the library borrowed this book, and it took two weeks to finish reading it. This is a thin book, only more than 200 pages, but it is a bestseller that influenced a generation of young Americans in the last century. Unfortunately, Salinger, as a master of literature, died in June 5438+this year 10, and many readers who like him can only experience sporadic fragments of thoughts in his works.
Personally, I think this book is novel both in style and content. Perhaps, as everyone said, this book is a bit like Salinger's autobiography, similar to the story of his own experience. /kloc-The image of 0/6-year-old Holden, like young Werther, is rebellious, depressed, hesitant, cynical and full of endless loneliness. Many times, in the real life of society, he has to face one contradiction after another-in fact, this is a common complex psychology in the growth stage of many teenagers. He hates to admit the hypocrisy and affectation of this world and longs for an ideal life, a pure and kind world.
The novel describes Holden's short stay in new york for a few days after he was expelled from an elite school, but during this short time, we can see all kinds of people: men in women's clothes in the hotel, arrogant electrician Maurize, nuns who have met twice, fake girlfriend Sally and so on. When he decided to venture to the western United States and live alone, he remembered to say goodbye to his sister Phoebe. When saying goodbye, he talked about his ideal, which is to be a catcher in the rye. There are thousands of children, and there is no one nearby-no adults, I mean-except me. Me, right on the edge of that damn cliff. My job is to watch over there, and if any children run to the edge of the cliff, I will catch them-I mean, the children are running wildly, and I don't know where they are running. I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. I do this all day. I just want to be a catcher in the rye. "

I also think this is a more basic work, which transcends class, age and national boundaries. As long as you think about it, you will feel the same as holden. After reading it, I already feel that I will never forget this novel. This is not touching, not knowing, not understanding, not these emotions. This is the only novel that hits the soul directly. Greater than Athena is the real Athena. I can't help smiling. I want to smile at the same world. Decades later, the world is still the same. We are contemporaries and in the same place as holden. This is anti-humanity and love for human beings. As long as there are human beings, you can see The Catcher in the Rye, and you will feel that you are talking to yourself. That's it. There will always be a Holden in your heart. From then on, I will talk to you quietly.
Everyone has an unforgettable time. Too much sensitivity, paranoia, absurdity, decadence, sweetness and joy make life lonely and warm. Standing in the endless green wheat field, I remembered a once bad boy-Holden.
There was a time when I was always so upset. I was furious because of my parents' words and my heart was broken because of a friend's action. Later, I gradually realized that that time was called youth. At this time, holden suddenly broke into my world. He had a clean sailor haircut, but his hair was brown and messy, and it looked evil and charming.
Holden studied in Percy, a private aristocratic school. Before that, he went to Elton Hill School. There is a very powerful headmaster named Mr. Haas. On Sunday, when Mr. Haas saw the parents who were driving to pick up their children, he ran to shake hands with them. If the parents of students wear vulgar and plain clothes, Old Haas just shakes hands with them, then pretends to smile before talking to other parents. In the days of youth, happiness and pain are easily amplified and stimulate our sensitive nerves. We are always dissatisfied or angry because of one thing or another. Holden couldn't stand such an environment, so he chose to escape, put on his hunter's hat and walked west with his luggage.
Before he left, he wanted to see his sister Wei Fei again. So the customer sent a note, probably next to the museum. After a long time, Faye finally came. She dragged Holden's old suitcase full of luggage when he was studying in Hutton and decided to leave with her brother. Holden had no choice but to give up and go west. Youth is like this, full of rebellion and hegemony, but bent on leaving, and finally gave up the purpose under various obstacles.
There is an impressive passage in the article: "The sign of an immature man is willing to die bravely for a certain cause, and the sign of a mature man is willing to live humbly for a certain cause." It may be hard for us to believe that this sentence comes from a teacher, but it is true. At that time, most of the school teachers were hypocrites of power. They think that people who do whatever it takes to survive are mature and ridiculous for some spirit or ideal. Even children go to school to buy a Cadillac or something. Holden once told his sister that he wanted to be a catcher in the rye and look after a group of children. I believe that many people have had similar ideals, but that ideal is too far away, and they have to grow up to work hard. Growing up means giving up, giving up your beautiful ideals, becoming a so-called "mature man" and living humbly for a certain cause. This is a painful way of life, but most people will betray their hearts for life.
Finally, holden fell ill and went to the hospital. As for what happened later, no one knows. So Holden, who stayed in the book, never grew up. I think he is still that innocent "bad" boy.
Growth seems to be an eternal topic. Sometimes, ignorant people will choose to hide their dissatisfaction and inner rebellion in their hearts. Sometimes, in order to cater to the society, we learn to pretend, compliment, cheat and smirk for others. Sometimes, in pursuit of fame and fortune, we paralyze our hearts, keep our true thoughts in our hearts, wrap ourselves in a naked fake model, and try not to expose our true hearts as much as possible. The more we do this, the more we will find-in fact, everyone else is doing it.
The hero in Good Girl likes nothing. He hates school, classmates and parents. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the "society" that Holden faces is not so hateful. No matter roommates, girlfriends or teachers, it seems that they are not dark forces, but a group of "neither good nor bad" people. If the author writes them in the first person, it may be the same story. But perhaps the worst thing about this society is that it is not even that bad-these people who are neither bad nor bad ruthlessly deprive Holden of his anger, because they are neither bad nor bad, and anger-at least anger-is the fastest way for a person to feel himself. In fact, holden is all over the world. Holden, 16 years old, Holden, 30 years old, Holden, 60 years old. They see through the mediocrity of the world, but they cannot surpass it. They can't be me, but they are too lazy to be him. They feel pain, but really, even this kind of pain is mediocre-how many people in this world see through the nothingness of life and feel angry, and this kind of anger is not enough to become a personality and a comforting force. In fact, since anger became fashionable, it is almost contemptible. In Start Over, Cui Jian sang: I want to leave, I want to exist. In the same song, he sang: I don't want to leave, I don't want to exist.
I don't think holden is really angry, he is just afraid. He is just afraid of his empty life. Out of self-esteem, we always show our fear as arrogance. He loves novels, he loves music, and he loves the smile on his little sister Phoebe's face. In the end, Holden didn't go to the west, maybe it wasn't because he was cowardly, because even if he went to the west, he had to find a job and buy 1 yuan 3 Jin of potatoes in the supermarket. There will still be countless people around him who like to say "Nice to meet you" and "Good luck". Instead of going far away to seek refuge from nonexistent freedom, we should explore the part of life that we can expect-novel music and little sister's smile, and treat the one-inch time that stopped in your palm because of getting lost. When doomed failure comes from the other side of the railway track, close your eyes, shout and disappear neatly.
# "The Catcher in the Rye" Excellent Review Composition 6#
From the end of World War II to today's American contemporary literature, two novels have been tested for more than 30 years and are considered as "modern classics": one is The Visitor by the black writer Ralph Ellison (1952), and the other is this book.
As soon as the novel was published, it was warmly welcomed by domestic teenagers, who thought it expressed their own feelings. At one time, the campuses of universities and middle schools were everywhere imitating the protagonist Horton-wearing a trench coat and a red hat upside down in winter, learning Horton's words and actions. Even in the early 1960s, as soon as foreign scholars talked about literature with American students, they immediately put forward The Catcher in the Rye.
The importance of The Catcher in the Rye lies not only in the novel artistic style created by the author, but also in the fact that the first person narrates the book in the voice of a teenager, which is more important for the spiritual civilization essence of capitalist society. In addition to material life, people should also have a spiritual life, which is often more important than material life in a relatively rich society.
Holden Calder, a middle school student aged 16, is one of the earliest anti-hero images in contemporary American literature. Holden comes from a wealthy middle-class family in new york. Teachers at school and their parents forced him to study hard in order to get ahead in the future and buy a Cadillac. At school, he only talks about women, alcohol and sex. He doesn't like everything around him and is too lazy to study hard, so he is always punished. When he was fired for the fourth time, he was afraid to go home. He wandered around new york, the most prosperous city in the United States, for a day and two nights, staying in an inn and having promiscuous girlfriends in nightclubs. He bored away his time in the cinema, called a prostitute in a daze, and couldn't help hugging his vain girlfriend. At the same time, his heart is very depressed, trying to escape from the hypocritical adult world and seek pure and true experiences and feelings. This spiritual irreconcilable extreme contradiction finally caused him to completely collapse and lie in a mental hospital.
As soon as the novel was published, it was warmly welcomed by domestic teenagers, who thought it expressed their own feelings. At one time, the campuses of universities and middle schools were full of imitations of the protagonist Horton-children wore windbreakers and red hunting hats in winter to learn Horton's words and actions. Even in the early 1960s, when foreign scholars and American students talked about literature, they immediately proposed good girls. Holden Kauffeld, a middle school student aged 16, is one of the earliest anti-hero images in contemporary American literature. Holden comes from a wealthy middle-class family in new york. Teachers at school and their parents forced him to study hard in order to get ahead in the future and buy a Cadillac. All he does at school is talk about women, wine and _ _ _ _. He doesn't like everything around him and is too lazy to study hard, so he is always punished. When he was fired for the fourth time, he was afraid to go home.

"So many children are playing games in a big wheat field. There are thousands of children, and there is no one nearby-no adults, I mean-except me. I'm-I'm standing on the edge of that damn cliff. My job is to keep watch there. If any children run to the edge of the cliff, I will catch them-I mean, the children are running wildly, and I don't know where I am running. I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. I do this all day. I just want to be a catcher in the rye. " Holden wants to be a catcher in the rye, watching those children not fall, but he wants to protect others in a society where he can't even protect himself. This is just a beautiful ideal. Can he be on duty? "Here comes the trouble. You will never find a quiet and comfortable place, because such a place does not exist! " The author also knows what it is like in real life, but he is making up a legend who can't realize his dream. This is why this work has too many fantasies! It is not the reality of life, but the need of fantasy, which is very suitable for the thoughts of teenagers in their youth!
In my opinion, over the years, readers in China have neglected an important issue: the author is calling for social education reform in disguise! At the same time, he created a model he thought with the image of the protagonist. We don't know whether this novel has influenced the reform of American education system. I think the acceptance of this writer by American society means that it is a kind of acquiescence! Now many private education schools in China are promoting western teaching methods, not only to make money, but also to sound the alarm from another side!
Aren't the children we teach also suffering? The teacher's harsh criticism and serious expression make children physically and mentally tired and hate going to school. So there are phenomena such as not doing homework and playing truant. The burden on students is too heavy, and the social pressure on teachers is increasing, and the pressure is passed on to students. One day, another student will become a "catcher in the rye". Isn't this the sorrow of the education session?
As teachers, we really should be kind to students, respect them, and make them love learning, at least not hate going to school.
