The Catcher In The Rye #2

So I finally figured out what the deal was with the title "The Catcher In The Rye". It's actually in a poem by Robert Burns called 'Comin Thro' The Rye'. And I thought it would be interesting to let yall read it..so here it is...(the word 'draigl't' I looked up and they say it means drag, and a petticoatie is something that is worn with a dress or something)

Comin Thro' The Rye
O, Jenny's a' weet, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry:
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Comin thro' the rye, poor body,
Comin thro' the rye,
She draigl't a' her petticoatie,
Comin thro' the rye!

Gin a body meet a body (or can a person meet a person)
Comin thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the glen,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need the warl' ken? (or without even knowing)

Gin a body meet a body
Comin thro' the grain;
Gin a body kiss a body,
The thing's a body's ain

Holden, the main character, is talking to his little sister and she asks Holden what he wants to do in his life. He replies, “If a body catch a body comin’ through the rye.” Holden says that he imagines a gigantic field of rye on a cliff full of children playing. He wants to stand at the edge of the cliff and catch the children when they come too close to falling off—to be “the catcher in the rye. I didn't understand what Holden meant by this so I looked it up and this is what it said...
"The rye field is a symbol of childhood—the rye is so high that the children cannot see over it, just as children are unable to see beyond the borders of their childhood. Standing on the precipice that separates the rye field of childhood from the cliff of adulthood, Holden wants to protect childhood innocence from the fall into disillusionment that necessarily accompanies adulthood. Trapped between states, with his innocence in jeopardy, Holden wants to be a “catcher in the rye,” a savior of the innocence missing in the world around him, a world that has let him fall over the cliff into adulthood alone."
