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).

He describes Ackley as an unbearable man, because time to time tends to enter in his room to touch everything that's on it; also because he doesn't care about his oral health as Holden said. Besides, he doesn't take Holden's hints that he should leave the room; he doesn't listen when Holden tells him to stop doing something, like the time Ackley was cutting his nails and dropped them on the floor. Despite Holden's description, the book allow the readers know that Holden know that Ackley does what he does because he's unpopular and insecure. But the protagonist just pay attention to the book's, metaphorically speaking. I'm self conscious that I chose a rock and roll song that has positives vibes, b...
