Catcher in the Rye and innocence ?!?!?
okay so lets see if i have this right....can the theme of the catcher in the rye relating to innocence be that ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PERSERVE ALL OF A PERSON'S INNCOCENCE, EVERYONE STILL HAS SOME INNOCENCE LEFT IN THEM; EVERYONE STILL HAS SOME ASPECT OF INNOCNCE REMAINING.

I think it can, definitely. Also, Holden's cynicism can be further proof that there's innocence in all of us because he obviously views himself as someone who has lost it, and he clearly wants to recover (at least part of) his innocence. Yet, there are numerous parts of the book where he seems innocent -- nuns talking about sexy stuff?
Source(s): read the book. a few times.
