QUESTION

What part of the book does holden scribble out the curse words off the wall in the catcher in the rye?

ANSWER

Holden Caulfield is a teenager who is writing on a wall in a bar when he scribbles out curse words off the wall in The Catcher in the Rye. He writes these words to pass time and express his thoughts as he feels like everyone is staring at him because he looks like he is acting crazy.

He also scribbles out these curse words because he does not want children to read them and get upset. This is because children are impressionable, so if they see something or hear something that upsets them, it can change their behavior for a long time.
