Summary
The leading character, Holden, was dropped out because his terrible grades. He didn’t want to go home at once. He went back to New York and fooled around, meeting some people he knew. When he met his sister in the dark, he told her that he wanted to find a lonely place to live, not going back forever. But he didn’t because his sister wanted to follow him. At last, He went home and waited for an acknowledgement from another school.
Impressions
Holden is about sixty years ago and he is a teenager like me but I don’t like him at first because he always speaks bad language and he is too critic. But afterward I change my opinion to him. Although he sometimes is such a rebel, he is a kind boy actually.
He hates dissimulation and likes honesty. For example, he dislikes the pretentious accent of priests, but he is willing to donate his money to two affable nuns. He is so compassionate that he worries about the live of the ducks in the winter in certain park. He also respects women. He buys a bawd but just talks with her. He is a terribly dogged person. He doesn’t crack up at all even if he is boxed severely. From some paragraph, I can see his love for his siblings, above all his sister and his dead brother.
Most of adult maybe don’t like someone like Holden. I do at first, too. But comparing with some people who are good on their surface but decayed in their heart, no doubt, Holden is far batter. I think whether a man is good or well according as not only his outward behaviors but also his inward bosom. Do you agree with that?
