Beats in the building! In my opinion holden hasnt lost his innocence because its kinda hard to lose what you never had. Hes never been an innocent kid i dont believe. thats like saying i lost my scholarship but i never had one in the first place. Holden lives his life with no rules which is rebellious against authority. although if my parents shipped my off to bording schools even if i didnt like them and i kept on gettting kicked out of them i would be rebelling also. when he decides to leave school and go to new york to see his parents he obvisouly does want some authority in his life. if my mom kept shipping me off to bording school i dont think i would go back to see her yeah i would miss her but i think i would be way too upset with her. although some argue that shes looking out for him and giving him the best education but that doesnt matter if he doesnt absorb the information the school is trying to teahc him.
