Catcher in the Rye Character
Descriptions Questions and Answers
Ackley - answer Ackley is dirty, pimply, and all-around unhygienic. He's annoying.
He'll come into your room and pick up your personal stuff and put it back in the wrong
place. He'll cut his toenails all over your floor. And he thinks being two years older than
Holden makes him superior.
Jane - answer she's "fond of all athletic sports" (11.1); she's "muckle-mouthed";
she's "always reading, and she read very good books" (11.3); and she "wouldn't take
her kings out of the back row" when she played checkers" (11.5).
Phoebe - answer You'd like her. I mean if you tell old Phoebe something, she knows
exactly what the hell you're talking about. I mean you can even take her anywhere with
you. If you take her to a lousy movie, for instance, she knows it's a lousy movie. If you
take her to a pretty good movie, she knows it's a pretty good movie. (10.3)
Allie - answer "it wasn't just that he was the most intelligent member in the family. He
was also the nicest .... God, he was a nice kid, though" (5.7).
Maurice - answer He wears a "phony shirt collar" under his uniform, has a "big fat
hairy stomach" and looks "very, very tired or very, very bored" the whole time he's
intimidating Holden into paying five more dollars for the privilege of talking to a nervous
teenager (14.20, 22).
Sally - answer He invents this cute little fantasy of borrowing a car and living in a
wood cabin and getting married, and she tells him flat out, "You can't just do something
like that" (17.50). And she has really solid reasons: "we're both practically children"; "did
you ever stop to think what you'd do if you didn't get a job when your money ran out?";
"We'll have oodles of time to those things ... after you go to college" (17.54, 56).
Carl Luce - answer Apparently, all he did at the Whooton school as a student adviser
was "give these sex talks ... late at night when there was a bunch of guys in his room"
(19.3).
Mr. Antolini - answer And then there's Mr. Antolini's lecture on education, which
basically boils down to his last comment: "If you go along with it [...] it'll begin to give you
an idea what size mind you have [...] After a while, you'll have an idea what kind of
thoughts your particular size mind should be wearing. For one thing, it may save you an
extraordinary amount of time trying on ideas that don't suit you, aren't becoming to you"
(24.59).
