WHAT A CHARACTER

My favorite character and the most memorable character for me is Holden from JD Salinger's novel Catcher in the Rye. Salinger uses indirect characterization to describe this nonchalant, confused young adult. His actions speak for him and we are able to view his inner thoughts and they way he sees other people to understand his troubles. I love the way he embodies an arrogant, judgmental, know-it-all yet we really sympathize with him throughout all of his troubles. Also, Salinger uses repetition with Holden's "catchphrases" that he repeats throughout the novel. All in all, Holden is my favorite character that I've ever been lucky enough to meet.
