In J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," Holden Caulfield expresses a desire for his body to be preserved and to remain intact after his death. He hopes that he will not be buried in a grave but instead wishes to be placed in a peaceful, natural setting, reflecting his longing for connection with nature and the innocence he cherishes. This desire reveals his fears about mortality and his struggle with the complexities of adulthood.
