The opening scene is important because it takes place in a mental hospital and that questions the reader about how Holden got there and the events that leads to that. This book is in "bookend" structure- meaning that it begins and ends in the same place. (i think)
The closing scene is significant because the rain represents Holden starting over, or realising the sadness, and anger he kept with him. The carousel represents Holden's acceptance into the adult world.

The graffiti Holden sees in Phoebe's school symbolizes his desire to protect innocence and preserve childhood. It reflects Holden's fear of growing up and entering the adult world, which he sees as corrupt and tainted. The messages on the walls remind him of the harsh realities and phoniness of society, reinforcing his sense of alienation.
