What Really Hard Things are Happening in the Catcher in the Rye?

What really hard things are happening in the text? 


          I am currently reading the book The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Holden has been kicked out of boarding school and I am at the part where he is talking to his roommates and they are ignoring him. I think people's lack of listening to others is a really hard thing going on in the book, and also in the world.
        
           First of all, when Holden is talking to the boy whose room is next to his, Ackley, he has trouble communicating with him. Ackley doesn't listen to Holden when he says to get out, and he touches everything he wants to in the room. Ackley keeps bringing up that he is eighteen and an adult, while Holden is just sixteen. This also has to do with when Holden is talking to his roommate Stradlater, who is going on a date. Holden knows the girl Stradlater's going with, and he tells Stradlater about all the experiences he had with her the previous summer. Stradlater doesn't care. All he's interested in is borrowing Holden's jacket and having him write his English paper. Both these guys are ignoring Holden, and he doesn't get a chance to get his voice across.
         
           Ackley and Stradlater's behavior towards Holden is similar to Holden's behavior towards Mr. Spencer, at the beginning of the book. Like I talked about in my last blog post, Holden is getting advice from Mr. Spencer about how to do better in life now that he flunked out of school. Instead of learning from his strong words, Holden just dismisses it and doesn't keep in mind what Mr. Spencer is saying. Holden is ignoring the voice of his teacher, who is trying to be helpful.
         
           I think that the lack of attention being given to Holden and Mr. Spencer is relevant to the world, and it's a really hard thing to get over. For example, in an oppressive government often times a lot of the people's voices, opinions, and point of views are being forgotten and not heard. It's not fair that Ackley and Stradlater do not listen to their peer, and it's not good that Holden doesn't pay attention to Mr. Spencer. I believe that in order for there to be justice in the book and in the world, everybody should listen to what each other has to say. This way, everything will be more balanced and equal, more fair.
