Holden Caulfield a very infamously famous fictional character who bears the brunt of wedging
some unforeseen occurences both positive and negative.
He is somebody who has successfully glorified dereliction.The character has influenced innumerable artistic works including
television....psychedelic rock music...and has also been equally controversial(supposed to have influenced john lennon's assasination).
Everything about the character is so damn significant....his lecherousness,even his name...rightly pronounced as hold-on caul(a protective membrane for embryos)-field.He is churned up by the terrible realities of the world and resorts to alienation as its solution,and has his own profound theories for everything in existence.
Now the relevance of the image...I discovered it somewhere dont remember where...its the image of the little lake near the Central Park South(new york city) which holden
caulfield used to visit in his seek out for ducks.
He always wondered where the ducks went during winter.Like I said every thought of his was momentous.I couldnt figure out the duck disappearing theory...although i'd lik to believe that he is talking about temporariness...
And the image is supposed have ducks in the background...but I have to admit I cant
see them!! can you?

@iceman
if u r really interested i hav it...lemmi me know if u want..
The guy who murdered John Lennon actually had this book on him when he was arrested........he even read a passage from it during his sentencing........ :)
and about the ducks......i'v always wondered why he repeats it so many times......... your take on it symbolizing "temporariness" is actually a good explanation.......
