"Explain the irony of language in the novel. Holden swears all the time, but wants to erase swearing so kids don’t see. Why? What does this say about him?"
Holden is a bit of a hypocrite, but I think he also believes that he's already "ruined", so there's no hope left for him. Although he may think that, he still wants to protect kids from people like himself.
And, he just really likes kids.
Jessica, the journals you write are well done. But where are the rest of your journals?? You're missing 16-21. Why?
