In these other 3 chapters, I learned a little more about Holden. Holden is somewhat of a loner as iI said in the previous post. In this section, Holden asks Ackley, “‘Listen. What’s the routine on joining a monastery?’ I asked him. I was sort of toying with the idea of joining one. ‘Do you have to be a Catholic and all?’” I think Holden is considering becoming a monk because he has no real direction in life, and I think he enjoys the simplicity and serenity of being quiet and alone. I also think it is because he hates all the “phonies”; the rich people who are completely fake to one another. I like that Holden is honest, and doesn’t put up with people’s crap. I also like that he is his own person, not trying to be like someone else, and he doesn’t care at all what people think. I don’t like that he is so negative, but I think that goes back to having his brother die at a very young age. That could have caused him to think the world is unfair and give him that really negative outlook on life. I also don’t like the fact that Holden keeps trying to get girls, like when he called that Faith Cavendish lady because he thought she would come over and sleep with him. That turns me off Holden, because that isn’t right, but I can understand that when growing up in an all boys school and having money that that idea is not completely out of the question for him.
