I need to write a thematic essay on this shit.

I have read the book.

What are the three best examples to talk about loss of innocence and corruption of adults in this novel

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 31 00:02:03 2010 No.497154 Were you assigned the themes "loss of innocence" and "corruption of adults"? Because those are about the most obvious and least interesting themes in that book.

>>497137

The best part of the novel to talk about, with regard to the corruption of adults as compared with Holden's idealized visions of innocence, is when [opens mouth wide, strange buzzing sounds, eyes glow yellow, mouth opens wider, jaw snaps open, mouth wider still, buzzing louder like a jet taking off, eyes larger now, more yellow still, hands go up like a marionette taking the stage, hands outstretched, long fingers, get up from chair, jet sound loud enough to kill a man, a sound like an iron beam through your skull, the teeth gone long and filed pointy sharp, yellow eyes no pupil yet looking directly at you, toes creep closer and closer, the body smells like old paper and acid in your nose, a warm and septic breeze, you can't move, you're still, the monster comes closer, the howl louder, and your answer comes in the form of a hit on your head and the flash of light and the taste of blood in your mouth a split second before you wake up in darkness and you feel the warmth of the man tying you up, smearing slime on your mouth that burns as you can't help but lick and let it go down, burn your esophagus, burn your stomach, churn your stomach, feel something happening...]
