I Thought What I Would Do Was I Would Pretend I Was a Deaf Mute
Ok so we all know that I'm an absolute Salinger fan and the only reason that I ever actually read Catcher in the Rye was because of GITS SAC. But since I grown to absolutely worship Salingers works, and it is so infuriating the way that people seem to only care about that one quote. There is so much more to Catcher in the Rye and GITS SAC, there are many references to Salinger's works not just Catcher in the Rye. Like the poster for a 'Nice Day for Banana fish' in the episode with the directors cyberbrain. And at the end the 'F%#@ You' carved into the railing, and the left handed baseball mit, although that was explained in the series as the result of Tougasa brain being hacked, the boys name Allie, the mit and the writting on the mitt were all references to the novel, there are others. But people are overlooking these references and ultimately mis reading the real messages within Salingers works. People just think that they Aoi is hidding himself from the phonies of the world, but what they are forgetting is that he just doesn't have the strength to fight them. He is ultimately afraid of becoming one of the masses, he dosen't believe he can make a difference so therefore to stop himself from becoming a phonie he disappears, in what he says is potentially like Holdern's quote, but actually he is just following Buddy's style from Seymore - An Introduction.
It's like people are just over looking the Brillance that is Salingers works and I just can't stand it.
