Throughout Salingers novel, he exceptionally uses the Catcher In The Rye poem to portray the theme of innocence. For instance, while Holden is progressing towards the record store to purchase Alittle Shirley beans@ for Phoebe, he encounters a fragile - but strong - young boy; who is surrounded by the industrious city of New York, yet protected within his own little world. During this incident, Holden noticed AHow this family just came out of some church@ and consisted of AA father, a mother, and a little kid about six years old@ and that they Alooked sort of poor@ and continued Awalking along, talking, not paying any attention to their kid@ who was Aright next to the curb@ walking a Avery strait line@ singing Aif a body catch a body coming through the rye@ while the Acars zoomed bye, while the brakes screeched all over the place@ (115). Symbolically -regardless of the boy=s neglective parents and hazardous city around him - he is still able to follow a clear-cut path through the edge of the rye field, unable to fall off the edge of the cliff; incapable of becoming a phony - like his parents - because of his innocence and lack of understanding of the world around him. Salinger refers to the infamous lyrics composed by Robert Burns a second time: during Holden=s quarrel with Phoebe.
