Chapter 6 juvenile Kan

Old Sally didn't talk much, but when she talked about Rant, she was always babbling, because she was too busy listening and showing off.Suddenly she saw an idiot she knew on the opposite side.This guy in a gray flannel suit and checked vest, absolutely typical Ivy League guy, big money.He was standing against the wall, smoking endlessly, and looking terribly bored.Old Sally mumbled, "I know that man, but I forgot where." No matter where she was taken, she always knew someone, or she thought she did.As soon as she started talking, I couldn't stop talking, and I was so annoyed that I said to her: "If you know each other, why don't you get close, he likes it very much." As soon as I said this, she was annoyed.Finally the idiot saw her and came over to say hello.The way they greet you should really show you, as if you haven't seen each other for twenty years, maybe you think they have bathed in the same basin since they were young, it's so shameless, it's disgusting.The funny thing is they've met once before, at a party.Finally, after expressing the feelings between the two, old Sally gave us an introduction.His name was George or something - I can't even remember his name - and he went to Andover University.Really big money, very big.You should have seen the way he answered when old Sally asked him how the play was.These hypocritical people always leave room when answering other people's questions.He took a step back and was stepping on a lady's foot, nearly breaking all her fingers.He said the script itself was not a masterpiece, but the Lanters' performances were absolutely top-notch.First class.God!First class.It made people laugh to death.Then he and old Sally started talking about other acquaintances.It's the most phony talk in the world.

J.D. Salinger (1951) Skaz (skaz) is a rather charming Russian word (reminiscent of "jazz" and "screaming", as the British often hear "singing and shouting"), which is used to refer to some kind of Spoken novels narrated in the first person.In this kind of novel or story, the narrator is also one of the characters. He (or she) calls himself "I" and refers to the reader as "you". Tell a story off-the-cuff, rather than submitting a well-conceived, well-written piece.We listen to stories more than we read, like meeting a chatty stranger in a bar or on a train.Of course this is just an illusion.The work itself is actually created by the "real" author's painstaking efforts.It is not advisable to imitate the narrative style of actual characters like recording conversation recordings. Only by fully expanding the imagination and creating an illusion can it give people a sense of reality and achieve good results.

For American novelists, this kind of rhetorical novel style is an obvious way to break away from the literary tradition of Britain and even Europe as a whole.Mark Twain played a key role in this.Hemingway once claimed: "All modern American literature comes from Mark Twain's - book - "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" - a bit exaggerated, but not without inspiration. In this novel, the narrative The other is a naive young man who thinks he is stupid, but is actually much smarter than he imagined; he sees the adult world with a very fresh and sincere feeling. Twain's brilliance lies in giving dialect colloquial style The teenage narrator. For example, the following monologue recounts Huck's views on different types of Christian believers:

Sometimes the widow would take me aside and tell me things about God that made my mouth water; but maybe next day Miss Watson would grab me and smash them up.I think there are probably two Gods. If the poor boy meets the God mentioned by the widow, he will be happy; if he meets the God mentioned by Miss Watson, it will be miserable. J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield is the learned descendant of Huck Finn.He was the son of a well-to-do New Yorker, more cultured and worldly than Huck.But like Huck, he is a waif who has escaped the hypocrisy, corruption, and, in his own words, the hypocrisy of the adult world.What surprised Holden was that his peers rushed to accept the corrupt behavior and habits of adults.In the middle of the story, Holden takes his girlfriend to see a Broadway daytime play starring Alfred and Lynn Lanter.This paragraph narrates the scene when "Old Sally" greets acquaintances during the intermission, which is intended to illustrate that this behavior is imitating the way adults socialize, and it is a downright hypocritical performance.

Holden's narration sounds like a rambling, and the vocabulary and tone of a teenager are obvious at a glance.The first is the large amount of repetitive vocabulary (because the elegant style rich in lexical changes needs to be carefully conceived), especially the repetitive use of vulgar words, such as "fool", "boring to death", "false feelings and false meanings", "big money", "Laughing to death", "old" (appelling any familiar person or thing, regardless of its age or the newness of the thing).Holden, like many other teenagers, always liked to express his strong emotions with exaggerated words: "can't finish it", "as if we haven't seen each other in twenty years", "expression of emotion", etc. The syntax is also simple; the sentence Short and poor in change. Many sentences still have grammatical problems and lack of predicate verbs. There are also many grammatical errors; the sentences are a little longer, and the clauses in them are just random, rather than arranged according to the main-slave compound structure.

Holden's casual tone and lack of discipline suggest that he's throwing things off without thinking to give them a sense of authenticity.This stylistic style is in stark contrast to George's deliberately pretentious sentence: "He said the script itself is not a masterpiece, but the performance of the Lanter couple is absolutely first-rate." This sentence was repeated from Holden's mouth as an indirect quotation, It was even more pretentious and extremely incongruous, especially in sharp contrast to what Holden himself said angrily to Sally: "Why don't you go and get close..."

As mentioned earlier, Holden's narrative style is not difficult to identify, but what is difficult is why the whole novel can attract our attention and make people feel infinitely interesting.Undoubtedly, what makes this novel interesting is the style itself.The story itself is not complete, it is just a plot, and most of them are trivial.The language, measured by normal literary standards, is also very poor.Salinger is like a ventriloquist, using Holden's tongue to express his views on life, old age, sickness and death, the highest value and other concepts vividly.In doing so, he is bound by the language of this slangy seventeen-year-old New York boy, avoiding all poetic similes, rhythmic sentences, and any literary language.

Of course, another reason for the success of the book lies in the humor—a kind of ironic humor produced by Holden when he used "vulgar" language to comment on the so-called high-class social and cultural life style of people such as Sally and George.His language mistakes are another source of humor—the funniest line in this paragraph is "nearly stepped on all the fingers of the whole body", the correct wording is "the bones of the whole body", which is another hyperbole.Plus, there's more to Holden's language.In this passage, for example, he clearly has an unspoken sense of envy, although he claims to be dismissive of George's prestigious college uniform and refined manners as a sign of social status.Holden Caulfield's pathetic situation is revealed here and throughout the book, all the more poignant because it isn't explicitly stated.

Finally, there is a surprising poetry in this novel; a sense of rhythm in the spoken word.This makes for a fun read, with a swing, as jazz musicians say, and a light-hearted feel.
