Catcher in the Rye Padlet Project (Thursday April 6, 2017 9-19 AM, EDT)

# data[].attributes.body
Phoebe: Holden's younger sister who is riding the carousel. She is his representation of purity and innocence in the novel.

Holden: Main character and narrator who is desperate to hold onto his youth and innocence, so instead relies on children to represent the innocence he's lost.

# data[].attributes.body
"That's one nice thing about carousels, they always play the same songs." (210)

# data[].attributes.body
"I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. I don't know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could've been there." (213)

# data[].attributes.body
Holden spends the entire novel yearning after his former childhood innocence even though it continually escapes him. But by the end of the story when he has reconnected with Phoebe his focus shifts away from his own innocence and he begins trying to protect hers. They arrive at the carousel, a ride Holden remembers fondly from his childhood, but Holden refuses to ride it.  He tells her "No, I'll just watch ya. I think I'll just watch" (212) as he continues to give her more money to ride again and again. He sits back on the park bench getting drenched in rain, essentially accepting his own aging, focusing on Phoebe. This is also shown by the fact that Holden gives Phoebe his red cap, a symbol of his desire to be unique and hide himself from the real world. By giving it to Phoebe and watching her ride the carousel Holden lives out his dream of being a catcher in the rye; a protector of innocence.
The carousel is an endless cycle of childhood, and Salinger's inclusion of it so close to the end of the story brings Holden's journey full circle, shifting from protecting his own youthfulness to protecting his sister's.

In the book, the Catcher in the Rye, the main character Holden has an obsession with innocence which is a theme laced throughout the story. It is not elaborated on further than the simple "small-kids-make-me-happy-and-I-want-to-be-happy-forever" idea, but with in depth analysis, readers can infer what Holden really means and wants with his assumed obsession with small children.
