  1. “I’d just be the catcher in the rye…that’s the only thing I’d really like to be….” Read over all your answers to previous questions. With these ideas and your knowledge of Holden, what does it mean to be “the catcher in the rye?”
  1. Why do you think Salinger named his novel The Catcher in the Rye? “Coming Thro’ the Rye” The title of the novel The Catcher in the Rye comes from Robert Burns’s poem “Coming Thro’ the Rye”. The original text is as follows, with a modern English translation in italics: Original Text: Modern Translation: O Jenny’s a’ weet, poor body, Oh Jenny’s wet, poor body, Jenny’s seldom dry: Jenny’s seldom dry: She draigl’t a’ her petticoatie, She dragged all her petticoat Comin thro’ the rye! Coming through the rye! Comin thro’ the rye, poor body, Coming through the rye, poor body Comin thro’ the rye, Coming through the rye, She draigl’t a’ her petticoatie, She dragged all her petticoat Comin thro’ the rye! Coming through the rye! Gin a body meet a body If a body meet a body Comin thro’ the rye, Coming through the rye, Gin a body kiss a body, If a body kiss a body, Need a body cry? Need a body cry? Gin a body meet a body If a body meet a body Comin thro’ the glen, Coming through the glen, Gin a body kiss a body, If a body kiss a body Need the warld ken? Need the world know?
