<< I expected it was going to be revealed as the
whole meaning of the book - *Holden is meant to be a teacher*! It seemed
all to make sense then - he cannot be a student because he is an innate
teacher; that is what he is meant to do. It's strange, it's barely occured
to me since then. But I guess, like you say, that a teacher (a *good*
teacher) is a kind of formalised catcher in the rye. >>
I never thought of that...it makes a lot of sense. That's why I love this
list, new insights. Anyway, my sister and I were tackling the idea of what a
'catcher in the rye' would actually be...she decided that a school crossing
guard would be the best fit job. A teacher...that makes so much sense.
Thanks.
