Catcher In The Rye Chapter 22

Summary: Holden finally gets Phoebe to listen to him. He tells her why he got kicked out and all of the things he didn't like about the school. She tells him that he hates everything and to name something he likes. All he can think about for awhile was the two nuns he met then he says he likes Allie. Phoebe says that that doesn't count because he is dead. She asks him what he wants to do with his life and he says that he wants to be a catcher in the rye. The only adult in a field of rye where little kids are playing. He would stand by a cliff and catch them before they fell off.

Response: Holden has already changed a lot. He is in a much better mood. Talking to Phoebe was a really good idea. The catcher in the rye idea is something that can't happen, it seems more like a dream than a reality. At least he wants to do something that would help others with his life.
