To Holden Caulfield
In this classic JD Salinger novel, the carousel in New York City's Central Park served as the stage for the finale. The sixteen year old protagonist Holden Caulfield took his eleven year old sister and best friend Phoebe to ride the carousel. For Holden, the great thing about a carousel is that it has beauty and music and even motion. But it doesn't go anywhere. Nothing really changes. Much like his fascination with the exhibits in the Museum of Natural History, the carousel symbolizes Holden's obsession to cling to the innocence of childhood and to shield it from the nauseating phoniness of grownups.
