catcher and the rye

Holden seems like a very critical and honest person. He always puts it like it is and never lies. He lives a life that most would frown upon with the dropping out of school and getting a hooker. There is a lot about Holden that I like and share a bond with. For one thing his analyzing of people and sarcasm is the kind of humor I share.  He’s not afraid to be honest and different from others, a quality I admire. It seems that he always does what he feels is right despite other opinions.  I see him as a free thinker in a world of conformists and liars, This is how I feel about Holden as a character.

Focus in on my opinion and post your own thoughts about Holden

  1. Brandon, you write in a particularly powerful and eloquent way when you state, "I see him as a free thinker in a world of conformists and liars. This is how I feel about Holden as a character." I wish you had begun your post this way and then systematically worked to develop this argument. Your writing is filled with these kinds of moments, and you should work to developed these insights in to sophisticated analytic pieces. You take the initial step, but you must follow through!
