An Instagram for Holden (The Catcher in the Rye)

Check out this Instagram @oldboyholden!


Holden is a young man who is not afraid to put his middle finger up to society and it rules. You can see that when you look at his profile picture, which is literally a middle finger, and when you realize he's flunked out of multiple schools. In spite of that he is still a good guy. He is an advocate against bullying, not just on social media but also in his every day life. He is a sweet and sensitive kid who tries to include everyone and make everyone feel happy. Just like when he decided to invite Ackley to a movie despite the fact that he and his other friend both found Ackley to be quite annoying. Holden is quite interested in women and finds them sexy. He enjoys the sexiness of women but he is easily turned off by them if they lack intelligence. He fancies calling himself a Sapiosexual. Considering that he's flunked out of so many school's that fact should be surprising, but it isn't because he is actually quite bright. He is a wiz at literature and the only thing that really holds him back is his susceptibility to boredom and his inability to persevere through adversity.


Again you should check out his page @oldboyholden you won't regret it.

  1. Hi Heidi,

    I like the name of the instagram account and the bio sounds particularly like Holden. In future creative posts, it would be helpful to embed some of the images into the blog post so we can see them without linking through to instagram. I would also like to see a bit more metadiscourse in your reflection. For example, why does each of these images encapsulate Holden? Also, how would Holden caption these images? After all, having an Instagram at all is kind of phony, and he would probably struggle with justifying his posts.
