Mental Instability By Erin W
Holden has a mental instability that causes him to separate himself from his school, classmates, and his family. His brother died of cancer when he was very young. I think that this causes him to rebel and disclose himself from society. The roots to his problems cause him not to talk to people, go to football games, and he has trouble confronting his peers. When stradlander asks him to do his homework, he just does it. Instead of sticking up for himself he just does his essay for him without a complaint. There is this girl names Jayne that he has a crush on. He has a hard time trying to confronting her and other people. When he moves to New York he doesnt want to know people and does want to talk to them. He is not a normal teenage kid. Normal kids want to go socialize and be with friends. Holden , on the other hand, doesnt want any confrontation. This is sad because he should enjoy his younger years and want to become part of society. His mental Instability causes these problems andI do not think it is fair. so im going to conclude with saying his instability causes him to be anti-social.

I think Holden is very mentally unstable like you said. He has no idea what he wants from life and he just keeps sheltering himself from society. Holden should be able to enjoy being young and not try to grow up too fast and skip all his school events. His mental instability causes him to do things a normal teenager wouldn't do. He is confused and alone, therefore he just needs someone to talk to. A kid his age would not hire a prostitute just t because they needed someone to talk to. Holden gets himself into a big mess. He would try in school and not let people step all over him then he will be able
ReplyDeleteto enjoy being young. Like you said, he doesn't stick up for himself. When his roommate asked him to write the paper and when the man makes me him pay more money, he doesn't even fight back. Holden just needs something or someone to help him get his feet back on the ground.
