The Catcher in the Rye 1. “In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They’re quite touchy about anything like that especially my father.” This passage sets the setting of this book. It doesn’t start out on a happy note, but instead on a grim one. This boy apparently does not have a great appreciation in life and his parents. He treats them with great disregard, thinking of them simply as hemorrhages when he does a wrongdoing. It also put a bad boy aura around him. If he knows how they will act when he does something wrong, he apparently has tried it. When the reader reads this book, he or she will know that this will not be a book with a very happy mood. 2. “So I got the ax. They give guys the ax quite frequently at Pencey. It has a very good academic rating, Pencey. It really does.” Holden, the boy in the book, talks about his expulsion as merely a trifle matter. To him it’s just like being scolded by his parents for stealing candy from the pantry. While, instead this is a serious matter. He apparently has been removed from more that one school and at each given a warning on his grounds for expulsion. However he heeds these warnings with disregard and sometimes with blatant disobedience and could care less.
