I don't remember who it was, but someone mentioned on the list once that
Salinger's stories were like puzzles, and our life experiences were the keys
that gave the puzzles understanding.
As I take philosophy for the first time this year, I can't say how true
this is. The idea of everything being in flux seems to be exactly what Holden
was talking about with everybody being just different after seeing oil
rainbows.
Plato's theory of the forms comes up time and time again in Teddy.
Especially when he is talking about the arm. And Plato's theory of education
seems to coincide almost exactly with Teddy's anti-apple-eater theory.
I'm sure there's a million others too. But what do I know, I'm just a kid.
