If you really want to hear me talk, the first thing you want to know is probably where I was born, how I got through my terrible childhood, what my parents did before I was born, and some David Copperfield story-like bullshit, but to be honest, I don't want to talk about that. Firstly, I find it annoying, and secondly, if I mention anything very personal to my parents, they will be so angry that they vomit blood.

Ten thousand fucks

The word (fuck) appears not 200 times but 199 times in this book. It may seem vulgar but it hides the truth, such as this passage (The sign of an immature person is that he is willing to die spectacularly for a certain reason, while the sign of a mature person is that he is willing to live humbly for a certain reason.'") Life is like this, some people are full of foul language but are warm and kind, and some people are moral and righteous, but they are just fucking around.

Holden was very rebellious at the age of 16. No matter what others say, he will feel that others are ill-intentioned towards him, and he only feels that he is right. This is normal, and that state will only happen after something happens to him. I knew I was actually thinking too much.

Holden

A boy with strong learning ability also has complex psychological activities. Part of the reason why he had a series of twists and turns was because of his living environment. He saw people too clearly, and thinking too much would make him anxious. There used to be many people that he hated extremely much, but later he didn't hate them so much anymore, and he still missed them a little bit. Some people may hate it at the time, but it remains deeply in their memory and they think of it from time to time.

Sorry, it must be my lack of knowledge

After reading the entire article, I only knew that I had been negatively affected by the article. No matter how nice the words were, the book still felt like that in my mind. The whole book did not bring me anything of value. On the contrary, after reading it, I felt that it was a waste of my time. This is my personal opinion.
