Chapter 15-16 Reflection

I noticed that Holden observes people very closely and has his different views on certain people. For example, he thinks that actors are phony and don't act like normal people, just because of the fact that they are actors. He also like to bring people up people from his past just because. He tends to reconnect with many past friends on accident.

Language

To an adult: So I went to Texas to visit my grandma this past spring.  It was really awkward though because everyone kept staring at us wherever we went.  That was something that really bothered me.

To my friend: Dude I went to Texas this past spring to visit my grandma.  Pisses me off cuz everyone kept staring at us cuz we're Asian.  Frickin haoles...

As Holden: Those goddam haoles up there in Texas ruined the hell out of my vacation.  They kept staring at us.  I wanted to tell those people the hell off, I really did.

Quotations

P. 2: “They don’t do any damn more molding at Pencey than they do at any other school. And I didn’t know anybody there that was splendid and clear-thinking and all. Maybe two guys. If that many. And hey probably came to Pencey that way.”

Pg. 9: "Sometimes I act a lot older than I am - I really do - but people never notice it. People never notice anything."

Pg. 16: “I’d never yell ‘Good luck!’ at anybody. It sounds terrible, when you think about it.”
