This book is basically everything to me. Most how I talk is based on this book the use of passive language the old slang the use of listen, phony, and other words. My teachers hate me for being able to only write in a passive voice now and I hate when word pops up that damned putrid little error that says passive voice. This book is the closest I-ve felt to a work of literature and connected it explains every goddamn feeling I have all the damn time.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. -I was standing- is NOT passive voice. It is past continuous which is one of the verb tenses. Passive would be -my view was blocked. - This uses the verb to be, either in the present or past tense, with a past participle. Passive is used to talk about something without mentioning the agent of the action or to mention the agent with the use of the preposition by. -My view was blocked by the building. -

I dont know why, but I damn near bawled when I realised that old phoebe was the catcher in the rye for Holden, that what he yearned to be, was what he needed for himself all along. Boy, Old phoebe sure did save his life, before he could go down that deep spiral had he left town.

Over-analysis? Like, even Holden (or possibly even Salinger) would not care about using the words 'sort of' 179 times. It might just be Holden's style of writing. The passive-voice thing, that was also maybe a little too much? I don't know, I don't live in America.

I have never hated a book more than this one. Ive found certain books uninteresting, ive disliked certain books, but Catcher In the Rye is the 1 book I simply cannot stand and Holden is the one main character of any work of fiction I cannot bear to listen to.

3: 44 =Hahahahha----. That's where you and I agree on. I don't even want to reach adulthood too soon. You are whining about grey hair, Holden, AND I HAVE WHITE HAIR MIXED WITH MY BROWN-BLACK! So screw you at that part.

You: Writes a present tense sentence in a past tense novel
Critics: did you skip English class!
JD Salinger: writes a present tense sentence in a past tense novel
Critics: Brilliant, Absolutely brilliant!

John made a long god damn video about catcher in the rye. John was the kind of guy that would make a long god damn video about catcher in the rye. I liked it though. I really did.

The constant cuts after every sentence or idea in this video is painful -- particularly when he speaks a paragraph in one breath. A little variation would be nice.
