Moreover, he dealt with his internal pressures of having sex and how the world around him seems to be nothing but phony. Not only do these obstacles chop Holden down, they also help him to become a stronger person. Salinger uses these dilemmas of Holden’s in Catcher in the Rye to show his loss of innocence during his childhood in which he was forced to grow up quicker than most people his age. Salinger uses Holden’s loss of innocence experience through his growing up with his younger brother’s death, experimenting with alcohol and sex, and phoniness in society.
Not many people have to deal with a loss of a close family member at such a young age, but Holden experiences the loss of his brother Allie which makes him more perceptible to life.
