I chose this, apparently homemade, rap that talks about the entire book, or least the most important  events of the story. It starts talking from when Holden got expelled, passing through minor details like his smoking habit to his constantly thinking about his siblings and the girl called Jane, which he seems to have feelings for. Even makes a reference when Holden explicitly thinks about the guy he knew that committed suicide and how that thought started to mess up his mind while he was analyzing everything while he was at a park. It also goes through Holden's desire of save the children's innocence. This rap gives to the listener an accurate summary about who is Holden Caulfield; a misfortune teenager that's facing a depression and doesn't know to assimilate he's becoming a grown man and maybe that's why he's so in to be the "Catcher in the rye" (for a better understanding check out the other entrance on this blog). I really like this song's lyrics because it's a difference artistic expression from the book, which is also a good representation, about a real mental disease that has been affecting societies and it continuous affecting us; the depression. The protagonist is an example of someone who's been overwhelmed by difference thing in his life and it's ok that he feels in that way; what's wrong and I think is also lesson from the book is to be the opposite of Holden, it's ok not to feel ok what's not ok is not ask for help.
