My favorite part of The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is when Holden Caulfield, the protagonist, visits his old teacher, Mr. Antolini. Mr. Antolini gives Holden some advice and tells him to "stay away from the phony stuff" and to "try to do something useful with his life". This part of the book resonates with me because it is a reminder to stay true to yourself and to strive to make a difference in the world.
The Catcher in the Rye is a coming-of-age novel that follows Holden Caulfield, a teenager who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is disillusioned with the world around him and is trying to make sense of it all.
The funniest part of The Catcher in the Rye is when Holden is trying to find a place to stay in New York City. He visits a hotel and is asked to pay for a room in advance. He then proceeds to ask the clerk if he can pay for the room in "screwy money", which is a reference to the money he has been given by his parents. The clerk is obviously confused and Holden quickly leaves.
