Review of the book "The guardian between the rye"
Already in more precise terms the work revolves around the young Holden, a 16 -year -old teenager who tells us, in the first person, his day to day and his thoughts, after being expelled from his elitist school, bad student, rebel and with aActive tremendous for life, Holden is "fed up with everything and everyone". He does not support his teammates, whom he considers "Charlatans and Patanes";He feels that his parents are too stretched, and sees, in general, that society and personal relationships are plagued by lies, dishonesty and falsehood. Everyone appears to be what is not. No one has the courage to really show and proud of it. Holden is a complete maladjeThe school director informs him that they will expel him and as is Wednesday and the director did not call his parents until Monday, he decides to make a radical and adventure decision at the same time, makes the decision to escape from boarding school and travel toNew York to spend those days of "freedom".
Holden’s plans are not as expected, the young man stays in a hotel of bad death, far from all the comforts, his desire to do adult activities are a total failure, a bar goes and the waiters do not serve alcohol for being minor and the women who speak are not to his liking, back to his room, the man in charge of the elevator offers him a slight female company something that Holden accepts, Sunny arrives at his room a young prostitute who finally does not finally He wants to have any kind of relationship to get heat because With the person in charge of the elevator that is overwhelming an overwhelming, while the prostitute steals his wallet.
Without money and totally evicted for not having a fixed course, Holden spends the hours touring New York and staying with Sally, a girl who had seen several times, after an afternoon of plans, proposes escaping with him to New England, where they will live In a cabin together in nature, however, after being insulted, Sally breaks any relationship with Holden and this feels a rare relief. Later and taking advantage that their parents are not at home, Holden meets with his little sister Phoebe and she discovered that they have expelled her brother from a boarding school, she gets angry at him, after the return of her parents, Holden leaves the house withoutto be seen.
In the last of his visits, Holden is going to see Mr. Antolini one of his former teachers, he allows Holden to keep him and his wife after Holden leaves home. When Holden wakes up and finds Mr. Antolini touching his head, Holden interprets this fact as a homosexual indication and quickly leaves the house, after leaving the apartment and having slept in a zoo, Holden meets with his sister the next morning, Consequently, announces Phoebe, through a note, that will go to the west of the United States, however something happens here that the boy never foresaw, the girl wants to leave with him.
Thus, the two facts proposed previously are activated, he must be the guardian between the rye and has to look for a clear task in his life, trying not to die in the attempt. So, persuade the sister to stay and did not waste time, on roads that will never bear fruit. That breakdown also helps Holden make the decision to remain in the house, along with trying his luck in school subjects and discovering his true talents.
I must point out that the book is a surprising human reality, which is evidenced in the lack of direction that our lives can have, before difficult moments. Therefore, the work invites us to ask ourselves about what we really want and make sure we have that knowledge ready, in the minute of making decisions, which will mark our lives forever. Particularly this book is related to numerous cases of murders and violence, how John Lennon’s, (whose author for the connoisseurs, lacks name). I don’t think these people have really understood Holden, and they have clearly misunderstood the message. It is as it is obvious of disturbed subjects, who would have committed a homicide even if they had read a Poem of Neruda instead, they stayed with their misanthropean side, without understanding the true meaning of the intrapersonal search of the protagonist.
