Holden, the main character in the book, buys a hunting cap. This is a symbol for hunting for Holden for a meaning in his life. Holden always criticizing about how everyone is fake and he never really pays attention to his life. When he buys the hunting cap, it is as if he is searching for the purpose in his life. Also him wearing the hat backward is like when a catcher wears his helmet backwards and Holden wants to be a “catcher in the rye”
