I like The Catcher in the Rye. 
 ***** 
 I'll make this quick. I like Holden, I really do.With his disgust for phonies, even his foul mouth. But let's face it, not everyone who read The Catcher in the Rye will get whatever it is that Salinger wants to convey. I didn't get it at first. But once I knew Salinger's message behind the book, it was just okay. The impact was not that gut-wrenching for me. 
 The thing that struck me the most is Holden's relationship with his sister. Even if he is on the brink of self-destruction, his love for her never got tainted. That even if Holden wants to forget everything in his life, she anchored him to hope, kindness, and life. 
 I saw why The Catcher in the Rye is a banned book. But once I looked closely on why Holden wanted to be the catcher in the rye, it was a realization that troubled teenagers need to know. Therefore, it must be available, and not banned, right?
