After reading The Catcher in the Rye, I believe everyone has learned a lot. At this time, it is necessary to write a reading note for The Catcher in the Rye! The following is a model essay of good girl's Reading Notes that I have carefully compiled for you, hoping to help you.
Reading Notes of The Catcher in the Rye (1) During the summer vacation, I read The Catcher in the Rye.
As the name implies, there is a boy of 17 years old. He hates worldly troubles and dreams of a world of children, without the troubles of the city and the hypocrisy of adults.
"Anyway, I always imagine that there are so many children playing games in a big wheat field. There are thousands of children, and there is no one nearby-no adults, I mean-except me. I'm-I'm standing on the edge of that damn cliff. My job is to watch there, and if any children come to the edge of the cliff, I will catch them-I mean, the children are running wildly, and I don't know where I am running, so I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. I do this all day. I just want to be a catcher in the rye. "
These are a few words from his heart in front of his innocent sister, saying what he thinks.
In today's society, reality and cruelty seriously surround people. Many young people who entered the society with dreams gradually lost themselves and lost their direction in the hustle and bustle of the city. Their dreams vanished and humanity was gradually erased.
My grandmother gave birth to three daughters. The eldest daughter is my mother, and the other two are my second aunt and third aunt.
My cousin, the son of my third aunt, went out when she was about five years old. A few years later, she took her cousin to the city where she achieved something. However, the person who raised my cousin was not my third aunt, but my second aunt. My second aunt is famous for her good temper. As long as you don't break her bottom line, she won't get angry no matter what you do. That's it. Third Aunt will use her through her personality-let Second Aunt take care of the children.
Shortly after my cousin went to the big city, my mother and I followed him one after another. So we all got together and had a good time. My second aunt is very kind to me, but it's just a matter of face, and my third aunt doesn't even do it. She went to my hometown earlier, saw the rustic appearance and pretended to cherish me. I also saw disdain in her pitying eyes. She took me to the county seat and bought me a suit to wear. I am so happy that she laughs like a beggar's meal. She took us to a restaurant for dinner, and the food came. Without tasting a few mouthfuls, she took out the charm of a "cultural person" and said, "It's a pity that this restaurant is still in this city, and the dishes made are terrible."
Later, my aunt asked me to go to their big city to see the world, and my mother followed. Originally, in order to be frugal, my brother and sister-in-law were crowded into a two-bedroom apartment with three aunts and two cousins. In order to welcome my mother and me, my brother and sister-in-law specially rented a two-bedroom apartment, and the four of us moved in. On the day we arrived, my brother and sister-in-law bought hundreds of dollars for me and my mother in the supermarket, and my sister-in-law was also more polite to me and my mother.
I remember when I first arrived in the big city, my brother and sister-in-law were waiting to meet us at the station before dawn. We went to my third aunt's house, but my cousin was still sleeping. Third aunt and second aunt just woke up under our knock on the door. Cousin was extremely impatient when she was awakened by her third aunt. Three aunts pulled my cousin and me together, one white and the other yellow, in sharp contrast. The white one is him and the yellow one is me. Third aunt also enjoyed this, saying that she took good care of her son. When the meal was ready, I kindly helped my cousin with the food. He scolded me in disgust and pushed the food away. Third aunt didn't stand up for me, just smiled and said that her son didn't like being caught in the food. I like the unique advantages of city people. It's still fresh in my mind.
Not long after I arrived in the big city, my brother and sister-in-law took care of me every day, buying me this and that and eating countless fruits, which made my originally dark skin white and moist. I remember my third aunt's jealous eyes when she looked at me. My original yellow hair became black and bright. I'm as thin as a bone, and I've put on some meat. Third Aunt got angry at first sight-his son was white and thin. From this, she targeted me everywhere, and also called people around her to target me.
I had a fight with my cousin, and I hit him. He went to complain and put all the blame on me. The third aunt and the second aunt said that I was older than my cousin and asked me to let her go. I can't beat my cousin, so I'll complain. My third aunt and second aunt's eyes are shining with pride when their son comes back, and they let me be their sister. Don't haggle with him. My mother, brother and sister-in-law can only comfort me behind my back. Actually, I'm only two years older than my cousin. Are older children born destined to make way for younger children? This is not clear.
My brother bought me stationery. I felt sorry for his money and asked him to buy less. Cousin pesters his brother once every few days to buy him stationery and toys, for fear that his brother will spend a penny less. I said a word or two when I didn't understand, but my cousin said casually, "He should."
Someone bullied my cousin, and my cousin complained. I didn't say anything, so I went to help. However, when others bullied me, he even hit me when he was down and spoke ill of me in the opposite direction. Now, I don't understand why those people fight with their cousins for no reason. They are a group of people. And after I uphold justice for my cousin, why did those people immediately shift their targets and point the finger at me?
During the Chinese New Year, my brother and sister-in-law rushed home to get married, and my mother followed me back to preside over the wedding, leaving me alone in the big city. My cousin got the chance and got back at me severely.
One day, my cousin tempted me to fight, and I fought with him. Because every time he provoked me first, I ignored him, and he became more and more complacent and violated my bottom line. He didn't fight with me until I couldn't stand it anymore.
My second aunt happened to come here when I was fighting with my cousin. My cousin quickly hid behind my second aunt and said that I bullied him and put the blame on me. Anyone with long eyes knows that my cousin bullies me. But the second aunt has raised her cousin for so many years like her mother, and the time spent with her daughter is not as long as that spent with her cousin. It is conceivable that my second aunt and I can't compare with her and her cousin's affection again.
My second aunt protected my cousin from hitting him. I was so angry that I couldn't keep my mouth shut and said that my second aunt was partial to my cousin. Because of this sentence, she lost her temper with me and growled, "Say it again!" " "I eagerly rushed forward and raised my hand and stared at me.
I was in tears and never dared to speak again. She's an adult. How can I hit her? Even if I hide in the past, I am still alone at home, with no food to eat, and I dare not sleep alone at night. Tears of helplessness suddenly burst out.
I looked behind my second aunt, and my cousin poked her head out with a smug smile. Every time I am wronged, he always looks wronged in front of adults and smiles at me behind their backs. His achievements are calculated. I can't compete with him How can I compete with him? Two aunts came against me together, and we had to rely on them to eat at home. So, I endured it.
Many years later, I returned to my hometown and moved to a small county. Every time I think of a period of time there, my heart can't stop getting cold. When my third aunt saw me move back, she moved back with her cousin, and the room was less than 30 meters apart. Go to the same school as me. I am still upholding justice for my cousin. Of course, he still enjoys my protection, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will turn around and bite me. It's just that I didn't fight him anymore, because after they moved here, my mother and I moved to a place three blocks away from their home. He never wants to get my "deserved" love again, and he never wants to break my heart again.
That is the reality. Like the protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye, I hope to go to a world with only children. Oh, no-there can only be innocent children in the world of children, not children like my cousin. A child like that is no different from an adult in thought, except that he is a big boy.
Reading Notes of The Catcher in the Rye (Part II) This book describes the wandering experience of the protagonist Holden in new york after being expelled from school, and describes his psychological changes and inner thoughts with a lot of pen and ink, fully excavating the inner world of teenagers. The author describes a despicable and hypocritical social phenomenon from the perspective of "bad boy". The description is mixed with some inner complaints and exaggerations of "bad boys", but to a certain extent, it objectively writes out the harm that indifference and meanness bring to family, school and society.
The most impressive part of this novel is the author's description of teenagers' hearts, which reflects the psychological characteristics of most teenagers. For example, when old Spencer taught him, Horton's psychological monologue: "Life is a ball game, but only for some people, if you participate in a strong side, it can be said to be a ball game-I admit this, but if you participate in the other side, you have no strength at all, that's not bad." It shows that Holden seems to resist the information given by the outside world, but he is unwilling to accept the reality in his heart. At the same time, he shows his insecurity and loneliness, and tries his best to cover up his inner fragility with indifference. Some holden said that what he really wanted to do was to be a catcher in the rye. This makes me feel deeply and often happens in today's society. People often ask you what school you study in, what unit you work in, what your ideal is, and your purpose' mostly comes from wanting to know whether you are promising enough, rather than whether you really like doing your job and what your dream is. Each of us will have a pure dream in our hearts. Like Holden, not to think about how to get ahead, but to really bring happiness to yourself, simple happiness.
The author describes Holden's inner world incisively and vividly, and brings readers into the world from the perspective of the protagonist. Reading not only took me to different worlds, saw different stories, but also made me think a lot. This book has brought me a lot of fun.
The catcher in the rye's reading notes (Part III) We really had a hard time. We have to bear all kinds of external pressures, but also face our own inner confusion. In the struggle, if someone gives you an understanding look, you will feel the warmth of life, maybe just a brief glance will make me feel excited. A juvenile delinquent-holden.
In the United States in the 1950s after World War II, the production industry developed rapidly and the number of middle class increased rapidly, but the spirit of the broad masses of people became increasingly poor. People living in this era can be roughly divided into three types. Some people live a chaotic life all day without worrying at all. There are people who don't like the world, but want to resist but lack these great and glorious leaders. Others resist this unfair reality in a negative way. ...
When I first opened this book, I thought it was very bad. For us young people, we pay attention to the plot and attraction. The plot is barely passable, but it is not attractive. Even the words are ordinary and full of dirty words. Horton, the protagonist, keeps silent and is a sensitive word such as "damn", "asshole" and "idiot". He is an out-and-out hooligan, which is really a little uncomfortable for a normal modern youth. Is this book to teach us to be equal to a bad rascal? Unwilling, I watched it again.
Holden, the hero, is a boy of 16 years old and can be seen everywhere in the street. He doesn't study well. He smokes, drinks and fights every day. He is evil and rebellious. But it is such a bad rascal who has become the hero of this classic.
He was expelled from school for failing the exam four times. He got into a fight with his classmates and was told to leave the campus. He was afraid to go home and spent the night in the hotel. The next day, holden broke up because of his girlfriend Lily's hypocrisy. He went to the bar decadent, got drunk and accidentally got ice on his head. He was afraid of dying and never seeing his sister Phoebe again, so he decided to venture home.
In the evening, holden woke Phoebe up, told her about her frustration and ideals, and said something unexpected to our readers, "There are so many children playing games in a big wheat field. There are thousands of children, and there is no one nearby-no one is an adult, I mean, except me. I'm-I'm on that damn cliff. My job is to watch over there. If there is any child Wang Xuan running, I will catch him-I mean, all the children are running, and I don't know where they are running. I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. I do this every day. I just want to be a catcher in the rye. I know it's crazy, but it's the only thing I want to do I know it's crazy. " Holden's heartfelt words, I imagine that when he said this, he was soft, with a simple dream and a daydream about the ideal world. If the world really exists, people are kind, without any hypocrisy and evil, how peaceful and peaceful it would be. Children run carefree in the waves of this scenery, and some will go astray. Holden will catch them and teach them carefully. Holden will always guard them and live in this golden wave.
Seeing is a rare feeling and effort, which contains expectation. Seeing the end again, holden completely subverted my understanding of him. Like a teenager. Everyone is not satisfied with his method, but the boy feels that what he has done is not as bad as others say. He longs for someone to read himself.
At the end of the book, Holden doesn't want to go home or go back to that junk school. He will go to the west to make a living and pretend to be deaf and dumb, so that he can ignore each other's words and talk less. If others want to talk to him, they have to write it down. If he wrote it down, he would certainly save a lot of nonsense. But before he left, he still wanted to see his sister Phoebe, so he asked someone to give the note to his sister. She arrived as promised, but she still brought a suitcase. It turns out that my sister also wants to find a "wheat field" with her brother and be a "guardian". Holden couldn't convince his sister, so he had to give up going to the west and go home with his sister.
At the end of the story, Holden was seriously ill and went to the hospital. I don't know what happened afterwards. He stayed in the book and never grew up. He will always be a child eager to be a "guardian".
In China, the new generation after zero zero is also facing the problems faced by American youth. Where are we going? It is also a wheat field, but it spans a Pacific Ocean. Here, who will watch here? How many empty, helpless and fragile watchmen are there?
Later, I searched the author online. After the book became famous, the author bought a large piece of land in an American village, built a house, planted trees and pulled barbed wire next to it. He never gives interviews to reporters. Only a 65,438+06-year-old student talked to him alone because of school writing, so The Catcher in the Rye is very famous, but the author is not familiar with it. Give people a more mysterious feeling and respect the author!
Notes on the catcher in the rye (Part 4) I have heard of this book for a long time, and I am curious about what it is about and who the catcher is. I found this book at a friend's house occasionally and borrowed it.
The hero of this book, holden, a boy of 15 years old, failed four courses and was expelled from school. He wore a big trench coat, smoked and drank, and his mouth was full of "Fuck, asshole". Being fired and afraid to go home, he began to wander for a few days. He hates the world. He thinks adults let him study in order to buy a "fucking Cadillac" in the future. He hates this money-oriented society, but this family is extravagant, saying that he either spends money or throws it away. He is a complete black sheep. I hate people talking about debauchery, but I love wine and beauty, and I found a prostitute in a daze during a few days of wandering. The inconsistency between what he thinks and what he does makes him miserable. The only teacher he loves is actually gay.
In this contradiction, he couldn't extricate himself and finally lay in a mental hospital. Holden is a cynical bad boy on the surface, but in fact he has a pure and kind heart. He loves his sister. On the night of meeting her, holden said, "I just want to be a catcher in the rye!" "And imagine that in a large wheat field, tens of thousands of children are playing games, except for adults around him. He stood on the edge of the cliff near the wheat field, watching which child ran towards the cliff, and grabbed him to prevent him from falling off the cliff.
This is his beautiful fantasy, and it is also the testimony of his beautiful heart. He hopes that children who live in a materialistic spiritual world will not lose themselves and go to the cliff. Compared with his two confused roommates, Holden has a clearer understanding of what his world is like. And he hates all this, because he hates it. In adolescence, he becomes more and more like this, which seems to be a kind of resistance.
Many times, we carefully hide our dissatisfaction with rebellion in our hearts. In order to cater to the society, we learned to disguise and cheat. In pursuit of fame and fortune, we paralyze our hearts, and those real thoughts are gradually sealed in our hearts, perhaps a kind of self-protection. After all, it is not safe to completely expose yourself in this strange world. "The sign of an immature man is that he is willing to die bravely for a certain cause, and the sign of a mature man is that he is willing to live humbly for a certain cause." A teacher teaches the leading role. Is this reason and maturity? I don't agree. Maybe I haven't touched the world yet, but at least for now, I still hope I have a fiery heart to face the world. Whose wish will be to be a good girl?
Perhaps because Holden is a rich boy, he expressed his truest wish. However, reality is always reality. Holden finally returned to the real world, ostensibly because of his sister's retention, but in fact Holden could not leave his position. Maybe he understands that the end of wandering life also indicates the end of his adolescent transformation. "People only grow up in the process of constantly fleeing and going home, and real life is meaningful in this process." Did we realize when we were growing up?
The catcher in the rye is Salinger's only novel. Although it is only a few hundred thousand words, it has a great influence on American society and literature. At 195 1, the novel immediately caused a sensation. The hero's experience and thoughts aroused strong repercussions among teenagers and were warmly welcomed by readers, especially college students and middle school students. They all imitate the clothes of the protagonist Holden and speak "Holden-style" language, because this novel tells their hearts and reflects their ideals, anguish and wishes. Parents and literary circles are also arguing about this book. Some people think that teenagers can increase their understanding of life, be alert to ugly reality, and urge them to choose the road of self-love; Adults can also improve their understanding of teenagers through this book. However, some people think this is a bad book. The protagonist doesn't study hard, but also smokes and drinks and engages in women. His mind is full of menial work. Opening his mouth is "fuck", so it should be banned. After more than 30 years' test, it has been proved to be one of the "modern classic novels" in contemporary American literature. At present, most middle schools and universities list it as a must-read after class. As some critics have said, it has "almost greatly influenced several generations of American youth".
The book tells about his experiences and spiritual feelings of wandering in new york for nearly two days and two nights after he was expelled from school. It not only vividly and meticulously depicts the depressed, wandering, lonely and cynical spiritual world of a middle-class child who is uneasy about the status quo, but also criticizes the hypocrisy and affectation of adult society. Holden is a typical teenager with complex and contradictory personality. He has a pure and kind heart and pursues a better life and lofty ideals. He hates those who are keen to talk about women and wine, and hates the hypocrisy and snobbery of the principal. When he saw the dirty words on the wall, he erased them angrily, and the nuns raised money for the victims, and he also gave generously. He sincerely loves and takes care of his sister Phoebe. In order to protect the child from falling off the cliff, he is also eager to be a "catcher in the rye" all his life and make a sound like "save the child". However, the negative resistance brought by cynical thoughts and the adolescent psychology of sensitivity, curiosity, anxiety, uneasiness, venting and impulsiveness made him refuse to study, pursue excitement and be cynical; He smokes, drinks, fights and flirts. He thinks that teachers and parents want him to learn and progress just to "get ahead" ... so that he can buy a fucking Cadillac in the future. He thinks that no one in adult society can be trusted, and they are all "hypocrites". Even the only teacher he admired later discovered that he might be gay and taught him that the sign of an immature man is willing to die bravely for a certain cause, and the sign of a mature man is willing to live humbly for a certain cause. He doesn't like secular human feelings in real society. What he longed for was simplicity and sincerity, but all he met was hypocrisy and deception, and he was unable to change this situation, so he had to be depressed, hesitant and indulgent, and finally even wanted to escape from this real world and pretend to be a deaf-mute in the hinterland. After World War II, under the pressure of social alienation, political pressure and conservative culture, the United States formed a "silent decade", and the first to rise up against it was the "Beat Generation". Holden, the hero of this book, is actually a "beat-up" and the earliest "anti-hero", but he hasn't sunk to their level and is confused to their level.
The Catcher in the Rye has such a great influence because the author has created a novel artistic style. Through the first person, the book narrates what he thinks, sees, hears and does in the tone of a teenager, and also criticizes the hypocrisy and deception of the adult world from the perspective of a teenager. The author analyzes the complex psychology of the hero with delicate and profound brushstrokes, which not only grasps the conflict between his ideal and reality, but also firmly grasps the psychological characteristics of adolescence to show the hero's kindness, innocence and absurd indulgence. The novel uses both "stream of life" and "stream of consciousness" and skillfully combines them. In the use of language, this book is also original. The book is straightforward in a teenager's tone, does not avoid triviality, is outspoken about privacy, uses a lot of spoken language and slang, is vivid and easy to understand, achieves the effect of hearing his voice and understanding his people, increases the appeal of the work, and can arouse readers' thoughts and thoughts, and arouse readers' association and response.
