Stream of consciousness

Stradlater asks Holden to write his descriptive composition for him, and Holden instead

writes about this

Allie’s baseball mitt

This is the teacher who comes closest

to reaching out to/understanding

Holden

Mr. Antolini

Describe the symbolism of the

ducks in the Central Park

lagoon

-Question Holden always asks: where do the ducks go in the winter?

-Holden’s preoccupation with where ducks go could be reminiscent of his youthful side (preserving innocence)

-Pond itself as metaphor (half frozen, half not) = the transition of Holden

into adulthood

Describe the symbolism/significance of

the Natural History Museum

(Hint: Why does Holden love it so much?)

-Displays = frozen in time, unchanging = Holden’s desire to “freeze” time and

preserve innocence

Museum displays = Holden’s “catcher in the rye” fantasy

This is where Holden says he is at the start of

the novel (as well as where is he by the end– aka: a full circle ending)

A psychiatric hospital/ “rest home” where he can recover after his mental breakdown

McMurphy’s main opponent?

Nurse Ratched

Has been in the ward the longest, with the exception of Nurse Ratched

Chief Bromden

Describe a way in which Nurse

Ratched maintains power and control

over the Ward

- Manipulation of patients (“pecking party”)

- Hand-picking the staff (Dr. Spivey = weak; black boys = her puppets)

- Medication/EST (“fog”)

- Smaller gestures like locking up toothpaste, etc.

Explain the metaphor of the

Combine

-metaphor for society

-“An organization that aims to adjust” people like the

acutes in the Ward

-“…for fixing up mistakes”

Describe the power of laughter in the

novel

-McMurphy’s laughter = change in the ward

-Laughter = defense against “machine” of Ward/ the

Combine/ Ratched

I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old Phoebe kept going around and

around. I was damn near bawling, I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth.

I don’t know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going

around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could’ve been there

-Holden watching Phoebe on the carousel

-Holden’s “epiphany”?

Mr. McMurphy, my friend, I am not a chicken, I’m a rabbit.

-Harding after the Group Meeting

- Harding explaining the rabbit/wolf analogy of the ward. The men are all “rabbits” who hide, and retreat from the “wolf” (Ratched)

Oh Holden, why’d you do it?

-Phoebe pleading with Holden about having left yet another school (this time, Pencey)

-Reflects Phoebe’s inability to relate to Holden—even though Holden though Phoebe would understand him retreating from yet another uncomfortable situation

There are forty patients on the ward, Mr. McMurphy. Forty patients and only twenty

voted.”

One of the first real “battles” between McMurphy and Ratched

Ward just voted on rearranging the schedule to watch the World Series on TV, McMurphy

only got an initial 20 votes

Chief was vote #21, but TV was still never turned on, as voting had “closed” according to

Ratched

(A bluetick hound bays out there in the fog, running scared and lost because he can’t

see. No tracks on the ground but the ones he’s making, and he sniffs in every direction with his cold red-rubber nose and picks up

no scent but his own fear, fear burning down into him like steam.)

-Chief lost in the “fog”– has a flashback of hunting with his father, and during this

flashback the dog lost in the fog is metaphoric of Chief’s EST/medication side

effects

(end of first mini-section of novel)
