Chapters 9-26
There are a lot of new things i discovered about Holden, reading a these chapters gave new impressions of Holden. The most sad thing was that he felt depressed for everything, it's weird but he was getting depressed really easy. Something really interesting is that Holden was trying to be social to people he meet. For example he invited Ernest Morrow's , cab drivers and some other people to have a cocktail, The thing was that everyone rejected his invitation it seemed that they had something better to do. After he left Pencey i can say that his life turned to an adventure. He got in trouble with a prostitute it was a misunderstood situation however Holden ended up getting in trouble with a guy name Maurice. Holden also had another teacher he appreciated a lot that was Mr Antolini one of his former English teachers at some other school he attended. Personally i couldn't imagine Holden being social but reading all this chapters made discovered people can change. Holden even went to see a play with some girl that was a friend of him. However it wasn't always like that he just didn't liked some people or a lot of things. Even his sister Phoebe told him that, he didn't like anything. Holden met three girls in a bar he even danced with one of them but at the end didn't like them the same happen when he saw one girl his brother D.B used to date and some navy guy. One of the few things he liked was that little boy singing "the catcher in the rye". Also the only person he cared for was his sister Phoebe , we can really tell he likes her and loves her a lot. He even risked getting caught by his parents just to see her. He admires her and describes her as a nice cute little girl. There were some moment where Holden had some crazy ideas like working on a gas station and make people think he is deaf-mute person or when he thought on killing the one who wrote bad word on the walls. Holden even admitted he was a coward when he talks about his Pencey gloves and killing the one who wrote bad words in the wall, he admits he doesn't have what it takes to face that kind of people which made him get depressed. Something really interesting was that Holden never got to talk to Jane the girl he liked. The end of the story it's pretty much the same way he started he goes back to his same attitude, which for reason i don't know why reminds he is a terrific liar and once he starts lying he can't stop.
