In the excerpt from Catcher in the Rye, the straightforward diction portrays the condescending personality of the narrator and his or her vague life. The narrator describes his childhood as “lousy” and giving background on his or her life “bores [him/her].” The narrator refuses to talk about his parents because “They’re quite touchy” about anything personal “especially [the] father.” This depiction of the narrator’s life illustrates an unfriendly personality and the rough childhood this narrator has gone through. This narrator can relate to many people making this story an interesting read.
