What is an example of a flashback in The Catcher in the Rye?

Answer 1

"The Catcher in the Rye" is a novel by J. D. Salinger. An example of verbal iron is when Holden has sex with women, but at the same time he fears having meaningless sexual relationship and he feels bad he thinks it's wrong to sleep with women he does not care about.

Answer 2

There are many flashbacks throughout the entire book.

One, however, is when Holden remembers this one time he was at a boarding school with his nice suitcase and realizes that his roommate has stolen it because it was nice and expensive.

He also remembers Jane Gallagher and their summers together and the one time she cried on the porch as they were playing checkers.

Another flashback would have to be the night when he smashed the glass in the garage because of his little brother, Allie's death.

Answer 3

The book title is actually a metaphor. Holden talks about how he wants to be a "catcher in the rye." This fantasy itself is a metaphor.

Another metaphor is the pond for the ducks. Something about it being "partly frozen and partly unfrozen" compares it to the transition of childhood and adulthood.
