Can someone come up with 5 discussion questions for the book Catcher in the Rye?

1. Holden constantly uses the word “phony” to describe people, events, and popular culture such as movies. What does he mean by this word and what does it indicate about his values?

2. Although he discusses the subject with ironic humor, the idea of war clearly disturbs Holden. He states that his older brother “hated” the army and World War II. Holden dreads military experience because he will not be able to choose the people with whom he associates. What does this tell us about Holden’s social ideal?

1.Holden’s lonileness

2.Holden’s attitude towards children

3.Holden’s attitude towards adults(he considers the adult world totally “phony”)

4.Holden’s attitude towards his dead brother

5.Holden’s character(there are some passages which are very significant and they show that he has a gentle soul)

6″Catcher in the rye”,”the cliff” it has a metaphorical meaning.
