Holden

This is going to be short cause it’s 2 in the mornin’ and I have work tomorrow

Holden has issues…clearly. What he longs for most is human interaction, but by all means, GOD BY ALL MEANS he avoids humans. For some reason he isn’t willing to look past the surface of someone’s skin to actually meet the very real person that they are. To be honest, everyone puts up an act in front of people they don’t know, or at least dilute their personality; in fact, it would be considered rude if you didn’t and were too comfortable. Getting close to anyone, and I am mean truly close, you’re bound to eventually figure them out and discard that “phony” image once seen before.

And although I really do like Holden either way, we can see that his judgment is not always accurate; he even said it himself. Whoever he falls for, that girl is suddenly intellectual, and when they’re through, he’s sitting there thinking what the hell I was thinkin’. Apparently lust blinds everyone, so maybe that’s not a good example. How about this then: Holden can come to the point of hating people with cheap suitcases. SUITCASES have nothing to DO with PERSONALITY. Just seeing the way he lays out a person’s whole background persona just from looking at them, and only being associated with them for like what…two months tops, shows all the thoughts going through his head aren’t going to be as deep as we wanted. Sorry guys.

What Holden is shooting down is not phony people, if that were true then so many people would be on the ground. What he’s aiming at is the general population who doesn’t connect with him instantly. If you look, Holden’s searching for people who could become close with him immediately. Fast friendship is what wants/needs, and he’s not willing to wait to getta know anyone step by step while breaking those barriers.
