 Ooh, yeah, she's the one who wouldn't let him go off by himself, who
insisted
 on going with him if he left.  She wouldn't let him cut himself off from
 everyone... >>
No,I don't think she stood for that.Just because that can do with a title
like The Catcher in the Rye,doesn't mean that that it is the way it was.I
think that the catcher is the person who keeps everybody on the cliff to
remain happy,or nice,like the girl who was singing the song.Holden wants
people to notice the nice things within the world.But he isn't the catcher in
the rye.He can't be,everybody falls going through life at times.He realizes
the cruelty of the world.Everyone eventually does in their own way.They can't
be the catcher.That's why he said that he knew it sounded crazy when telling
Phoebe.And Phoebe is not the catcher in the rye either because she eventually
will realize the things about the world and will truly be unhappy at
times.Maybe she already has.She just represents the sweet and true innocence
of a child.And Allie,he can't be the catcher in the rye because he died.He's
the closest though because he didn't fall as much as most people.He didn't
live long enough.He still thinks there can be a catcher in the rye
because(maybe)he never really saw the falseness of the world.My thoughts on
Allie are not well developed but I really don't think it was him.Nobody is
THE catcher.Allie was the catcher for Holden.Everybody has a catcher to go on
living.Whether it's a person,a certain perspective on how to live,or a desire
of something you like to do.But these things(including Allie)are not really
catchers.We all fall,except that we all help eachother stay happy even though
we have fallen.The catcher in the rye is fictional.There is no catcher unless
maybe it could be God himself.He keeps everything balanced.Or maybe not.I'm
pretty sure about all those things except God being the catcher.It's an
idea,though.It sounds a lot like the fat lady,doesn't it?To conclude,(I guess
I have to)realizing the falseness of this world makes you like everybody
else.We are not the catchers.It would just be a great thing to
be.-----------Jared
