RE: The Catcher in the Rye help with homework Chapter 25
Chapter 25
- How is Holden’s physical condition deteriorating in this chapter?
- How is Holden’s mental condition deteriorating in this chapter?
- What indication is there that Holden may be starting to question his own generalizations?
- Why does Holden want to be a deaf mute?
- Relate the writing on the wall at Phoebe’s school to Holden’s wanting to be a “catcher in the rye.”
Relate the writing on the wall at Phoebe’s school to Holden’s wanting to be a “catcher in the rye.”
While delivering a note for Phoebe to the principal’s office of her school, he sees that someone has written “Fuck you” on the wall by the stairs. This enrages him. Holden’s own vocabulary is often salty, and Phoebe asked him to break off cursing when he visited her in the apartment, but he finds this word especially detestable and does not use it around his sister.
