What were Holden Caulfield's physical features?

From what the book says, he is young looking even though he claims to be twenty two in some cases. He probably has good hygiene even though he smokes and contradicts his beliefs frequently.


What is Holden Caulfield's religion?

He does not say, nor is it established that he or his family practice any Christian religion, but it is made clear in two different scenes that he is not Catholic, and given that his surname is English/Irish, it is assumed by the reader that he is not Jewish, either.


What were the names of the schools Holden Caulfield flunked out of?

Holden names the following schools as ones he flunked out of: Elkton Hills, The Whooton School and Pency Prep. The first two are probably a combination of McBurney School, where Salinger was originally a student, and did indeed flunk out of. "Pency Prep" is a pseudonym for Valley Forge Military, which Salinger attended next, and graduated from (indeed, he was an excellent student at Valley Forge).


What did the character Holden Caulfield wear in the novel Catcher in the Rye?

Who is the antihero in The Catcher in the Rye?

Holden's biggest heroes are his deceased brother Allie, and his sister Phoebe who is 7 years younger. His older brother D. B. is also a hero to him, thoug he is disgusted with D. B. because he has moved to Hollywood to write for films, which Holden hates with a passion. Mr. Antolini is also a hero to him, though he leaves Antolini's apartment with a different - possibly erroneous - view of him. Between his two girlfriends, it is easy to tell that Jane Gallagher is also somewhat of a hero to him.

What does Holden mean you are quite illiterate but holden read a lot?

First, we have to remember that we can't always trust what Holden tells us; he does lie and admits doing so. Here, however, he means that he isn't as well educated as he thinks he ought to be--he hasn't read, for instance, the books he's been assigned in school perhaps--but he does like to read. His favorite books include Out of Africa, a book that he got by mistake. Any book whose author he believes he could just pick up the phone and talk to is one he thinks he would enjoy. In Chapter 3, he mentions two other books he likes: Return of the Native and Of Human Bondage; both of these are challenging, serious novels that a truly illiterate person could not read.
