    The Catcher in The Rye Powerpoint

    The document discusses the first-person point of view in The Catcher in the Rye. Through Holden's eyes, the story is very one-sided without insight from others. Narrating in first-person allows readers access to Holden's thoughts and prevents him seeming crazy. His breakdowns become more apparent as his depression worsens. Telling the story in third-person would change how Holden is portrayed, possibly making him seem socially awkward with few friends.

    THE CATCHER IN THE

    RYE
    Point of View
     The point of view is through Holden’s
    eyes and how he see his world

     The story he tells you is very one sided
    because he doesn’t give other people
    insight on things

    The Benefits of Holden’s
    Point of View
     Some of the benefits would be Holden
    letting us in on how he thinks about
    things

     If we didn’t know what he was thinking
    we would probably think he was crazy
    Examples of Benefits
     Andexample of this would be when he
    meets people.

     Anotherexample is when he was with
    Sunny but didn’t do anything
    Held Back Information
     Holden holds back information from us to
    give us the same perception he has

     An example of this is when he talks about
    Stradlater and Jane
    Holden’s Breakdowns
     The digression shows the progression of
    his depression like when he talks
    about innocent and phony people.

     The length of the paragraphs going into
    more depth on his feelings shows his
    depression getting worse.
    The Story in Third Person
     If
    the Catcher In The Rye were written in
    third person people would think that
    Holden is crazy
     He could also be portrayed as
    depressed, angry, or prude.
     People have to know what he's thinking
    otherwise they would draw these
    conclusions about him.
    Third Person cont.
    the story had been in written in 3rd
     If
    person some parts of the story would
    seem ridiculous like:
     When he acts like he was shot by
    Maurice
     As he talked to the man who played the
    piano at the bar.
    Summary
     Holden tells the story through first person
    which gives you only one view of the
    story but also lets you in his head to
    know what he’s thinking
     Holden’s breakdowns become more
    obvious and worse as his depression
    deepens and he talks more about his
    emotions
    Summary cont.
     If the story was written in third person
    that would drastically change how we
    look at Holden in the story.
     it would make him seem like a socially
    awkward person with not many friends.
    The End
