Capturing the essence of Holden Caulfield

This title might bring to mind vials, syringes, and other tools of that nature. Let me assure you that I would never do something so disgusting to represent a literary work.

(Not in this post, anyway.)

During a mock legislative session -- this is what I do with my summers, you see -- my friend passed me a note that, in an excitingly brief manner, managed to encompass the complex themes of The Catcher in the Rye.

I don't have a scanner, but I think an approximate representation will do.

SIDE 1:

Catcher in the Rye Fan Fic
SEX, PHONICS & NEW YORK
"Changed me life!" - Every Student
[Insert shoddily drawn pictures of cigs and alc]

SIDE 2:

Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
Phony phony phony phony phony phony phony phony
phony phony phony phony phony I don't like phonies.
I like my sister. She isn't a phony.
That really gets me.

Brilliant interpretation.
