Chapter 17

chapter 17 is probably the most blatant reference to the theme of 'escape', it represents the theme in its most stereotypical form, escaping physically away from the monotoness, miserable life in which Holden lives. He suggests this idea by proposing that he wants to run away with sally and marry her, and escape from the 'phonies'. This chapter shows Holdens desperate state, in actual fact he doesnt really like her, shes a 'pain in the ass' yet hes still suggesting escaping society with her?
