Catcher in the Rye favorite Character


My favorite character in the book The Catcher in the Rye would have to be Phoebe because she is Holden's saving grace kind of in a way. She is his sister and she loves him very much no matter what has happened between the two of them and what Holden has done. She cares about her brother and wants him to get his life on track and straightened out because she knows that he cannot live his life like this anymore. She just wants him to be happy and live life as someone who does not have to get in trouble all the time. Holden I think really appreciates her a lot because without her and the help that she has given him who knows where he would be and what he would be doing? She just really has a lot of love for him no matter what and I think that this should or does really mean a lot to him because he has just always wanted someone there for him and something to love him very much and she does. He feels the love that she brings him. She also brings him happiness. If you are not happy then you are living a sad life. You will always be questioning yourself and always wonder about everything. You need to find something that you love and something that you live for and you need to stay happy. Depression can kill you and make you a heartless person and you do not want to be like that because it is a sad and lonely life. You have your family and they will always care for you and that is why I think Phoebe was such a key role in the book. She reminded Holden of life and what he was missing out on the whole time he was getting in trouble. She also made him think of his dream of being in a rye field. Phoebe was the main reason Holden stays.
