Because he couldn't inspire you to read 'Catcher in the Rye" so you could do your own homework!
So you want to send me an insulting e-mail but not let me reply to you.
First you need to get the grip not I. I've done my homework - just like most of the people on this board. And we all know you will learn something from doing your own work. That's what we want - someone with the intelligence to do his/her own homework and think analytically to come into the workforce in a few years...not someone looking for the easy way out.
If you've read this book, as you claim, explain to me why Holden Caufield was a tragic hero. If you've got time to come on this board to get others to do your homework, you've got more than enough time to write your own paper.
With the help of his parents, I just got one of my nephews to read a book when I could have let him watch my movie of the book. He loved the book, wrote a great review and appreciated the movie even more for the work he had put into it - even knew when the movie didn't follow the exact history or elaborated or winged it for entertainment effect.
Teachers and parents and other adults are not out to get you, we're out to make you smarter by helping you learn to think for yourself. In the end, it helps us, too.

A hero because his whole being and purpose is to protect children and prevent their loss of innocence. Even his desire to be a "catcher in the rye," a person who devotes his life to standing on a hill in a field of rye and catch any of the kids who come close to the edge of the cliff makes him a hero. And he is definitely a hero to his sister Phoebe, especially in her eyes.He is "tragic" because he sees no beauty or meaning in life. All he sees are hypocrites and phonies, and in his journey to preserve his innocence and not become another phony adult, he does grow up and he does lose his innocence, if he ever did even have any to begin with. A post-modern day Peter Pan, with actually a lot in common with J.M. Barrie.
