The scene where Holden talks to Phoebe is a key scene in the book. Holden reveals that he figures "I've got to catch everyone if they start falling off the cliff...I'd just be the catcher in the rye" (173). This scene is important because it explains the title and conveys Holden's desire to matter in life. Another key scene is with Mr. Antolini on page 186 of chapter 24, when Mr. Antolini tells Holden that he is destined for a great fall. This scene makes Holden reconsider his decision to run away. Holden decides to return home and attend school in the fall. The final key scene is the scene in the museum on page 121, when Holden thinks to himself that he doesn't want any change.
