The main idea of the story is basically Holden Caulfield's motivation throughout the story. Holden goes to New York City and spends most of his time looking for something, but he never tells the reader exactly what he is looking for, I don’t even think he knows exactly what it is he is looking for. He seems to be looking for friendship or just genuine communication, but he is looking for it in the wrong place. Nobody else is concerned with friendship or honesty, besides his little sister Phoebe. After, Holden talks to someone he usually decides that a person is a phony unless they are a child. Whatever he wants from people he’s not getting it and this makes him bitter and lonely. The main idea of “The Catcher in the Rye” is that growing up sucks, because you become a phony, and the world around you is not an easy place to live, also loneliness and oblivion are waiting for you. So you need to learn how to deal with them while trying to understand something or else you’ll go mad.

The salesman probably just thought she was a regular girl when she bought it. It made me feel sad as hell—I don't know why exactly.” Throughout the whole book, Holden constantly judges people calling them phonies, nasty, a bore, and etc. The tone is sad because throughout the entire book nothing but horrible things has happened to
