The Catcher in the Rye By: J.D. Salinger
Salinger's bluntly precise and gritting use of language in The Catcher in the Rye depicts life in its entirety as seen from a nonchalant teenager. The passage begins with "If you really want to hear about it," suggesting that his life is nothing more than the average teenager's life. The narrator describes his childhood as "lousy." He displays the laziness in teenagers when he says, "I don't feel like going into it." He uses vulgar words like "crap," "hell," "damn," and "goddam." This suggests that Holden Caulfield is somewhat uneducated, rouge, and ignorant of the facts of life.
You find out later in this novel that he is only two of the three that I have proposed.
