  • Phil Klay Redeployment Analysis

    145 Words  | 1 Pages

    In his novel, Redeployment, Phil Klay immerses his readers into the minds of a variety of different characters with one thing in common, they are men of war. The novel is divided into twelve short stories with each one focusing in on a Marine or Soldier and their particular struggles. These men vary in age, rank, specialization, and where they are in their lives with some of them being active duty in Iraq to others being back home in New York. While some moments in the novel are heavy and almost too real, Klay captures the Marine’s sarcastic and often crude banter showing the glimmers of light in their war torn lives.

In the novel ‘The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D Salinger is about a boy named Holden Caulfield who is deeply affected by the death of his brother Allie but also has a problem with accepting the fact that he soon has to enter adulthood. The novel explains his idea of the world and what he feels his purpose is in it.

Just like teens today Holden just wants someone to hear him out and understand what he’s feeling but at the same time he feels like explaining his feelings is useless.

    820 Words  | 4 Pages

    In "Catcher in the Rye" the idea of being a catcher is based upon Holden’s complete misreading of a line in the poem "Comin ' Thro ' the Rye," by Robert Burns, of which Holden hears a young boy singing. The young boy instead substitutes the line "When a body catch a body, comin ' thro ' the rye" for "When a body meet a body, comin ' thro ' the rye. " Holden has a dream in which children play a game in a field of rye near a cliff, it being his role to protect the children by catching anyone who gets close to going over the edge. Symbolically a rescuer of children, a catcher is such a job he says would make him truly happy. As Holden receives guidance, and direction from various characters throughout the novel, one may argue that multiple characters could fit Holden’s description of a catcher.
