Catcher in the Rye has many relevant meanings for the teenagers of today. Holden Caufield’s confusions and frustrations are those of most teenagers who want to connect with other people and belong to a certain social quota. J.D Salinger presents to us a novel full of symbolism, imagery, and adolescent complexity that fufills it’s overall goals of giving us a glimpse into the life and psyche of a troubled and disturbed teenager who tries making connections with people he doesn’t know ending up in, as mean as this may sound, humorous failed attempts. The overall theme in this novel doesn’t comply any moral as did Ovid’s fables back in ancient Greece. Catcher in the Rye tends to be more interpretive in that manner. Holden’s inability to truly connect with people is due to his inability to immature and let go of pain.
“People never notice anything” (Pg 9). It’s in this quote that we really see what type of person Holden really is. Nobody around Holden seems to understand him, seems to understand his angers and confusions. Everyone is just as about as “phony as he is”. It’s in these beginning chapters we notice that something is wrong with Holden. something that doesn’t quite match up. He’s a white male with well-off parents that can afford to send him off to boarding school and he purposefully flunks out by not even attempting to study. It’s not until later on in the novel that we learn of James Castle and his brother Allie that there is a reason for this rebellion and personal wall that he has erected for himself. It’s how Holden breaks this wall that makes this book powerful and a very compelling and humorous read.

It’s rare that I am surprised and astounded by the performance of a product. I’ve used a Ultimate Touch Instant Mat & Tangle Remover and it’s like for a long time on my cats. I have a fairly long haired cat that doesn’t shed excessively, but does shed. I can spend a 15 minutes working over my cat with the aforementioned and get an amount of fur equal to maybe 5 seconds with the FURminator.

I can see why they say it helps to reduce shedding. My cat enjoyed being groomed with this, for a while. Then he started nipping at me as if to say “I’ve had enough of this”. By that time (about 10 minutes) I’d gotten perhaps 2 or 3 heaping handfuls of loose fur off of him. He looks fine, and his coat feels great.

I will never use another cat brush again. There is no need to find a better product, and every product I’ve tried thus far has been vastly inferior to this one. The small size is just fine for a cat-sized animal.

Highest rating; best of breed.
