__Your ideas:__ I believe he was horny or bored. It doesn't make much sense to do that even if you are in those circumstances though, its a bit odd. __Your ideas:__ He must love his sister a lot, but when I read this section I was a bit disturbed by how much he says about her. To me it sounds like a crush. Ew. __Your ideas:__ I thought they were stupid and literally got annoyed by them. I couldn't imagine why he liked the blonde one so much because the fact that she wouldn't answer him directly the first time was enough to drive me nuts. __Your ideas:__ I've noticed throughout the story that the narrator constantly repeats his statements over and over. For instance he will say that he really thinks you'll like his sister. You really will. It somewhat annoys me to read the same claims over and over again in the story, but maybe the narrator is just trying to clarify. __Your ideas:__ I believe that the narrator is in love with Jane because he goes on and on and on about how he met her and how his mother doesn't like her and how she is such a good kid. He tends to linger on the subjects that interest him the most and elaborate like crazy on the ones that mean something to him. He loves things when he thinks about them or is in their presence. He fell in "love" with the stupid blonde girl from the lavender room and forgot about her within 5 minutes of her departure. He is a very in the moment thinker. __Your ideas:__ I thought this whole situation was interesting because he did not like Lillian. He usually doesn't care what a girl is like and he will spend time with her and dance. She came over to ask him to sit at her table and instead of saying no thank you, he told her that he was leaving and was angry because after that lie he literally had to leave. I thought it was strange that sometimes he likes everyone and sometimes he hates everyone. __**//Types of Questions://**__

__Your ideas: __I viewed this as a weird situation and believe that the only reason Holden agreed to be involved with a prostitute was because he was so lonely and felt as though it would make him less of a coward, as well as more experienced with girls. __**//2. //**__**//_//** Do you believe Holden is a coward? __Your ideas: __ I think Holden tries to be tough inside his head but in the real world would do anything in order to avoid confrontation, as you can see in chapter 14 when sunny demands her extra five dollars; making him a coward. __**//3. //**__**//_//** Why do you think Holden keeps mentioning Allie? __Your ideas: __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> I believe the loss of his brother is a huge part of his life; therefore it is very difficult for him to let go of so easily. This would explain his random stories dealing with Allie throughout the novel. __**//<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">4. //**__**//_//** What do you think about Holden's relationships with women? __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Your ideas: __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> Between his loss of friends and departure from pencey i believe Holden's actions with the women he encounters all has to do with desperation. Because of his lonliness he finds no other way to entertain himself but going out with different girls. __**//<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">5. //**__**//_//** Would you tell your parents you got kicked out of school?, even if they were currently going through tough situations? __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Your ideas: __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">I believe my parents would be the first people to know about my expulsion, and although my news of explusion would just add to there problems i think they have the right to know no matter what. __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">Your ideas: __<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> At first i though it was kind of him to just give them the money out of charity but i then had second thoughts after he kind of regretted giving it to them.

**//Discussion Questions or Topics for Our Lit Circle://**

__Your ideas:__ It was hard for me to come up with a clear and logical explanation for this. The significance of the title being quoted by the main chatacter obviously has some degree of importance, but it took me a while to come up with a suitable answer. I decided to research the song that Holden mistakes the lyrics for. It is a song about questioning if it is okay for two people to have a romantic relationship out in the fields away from the publics eye. This could tie into the story because Holden feels like he is far away from the publics eye and seems to be a very independent traveler. All Holden wants is true love... and he would find it absolutely okay to have it in the middle of a field somewhere, because he is missing the love that was once Allie. __Your ideas:__ After coming out from hiding from his mother in the closet, Holden tells Phoebe that he will be leaving to go out west. As he leaves, he turns around at the last minute to give Phoebe his red hunting hat. I've come to the conclusion that every action that Holden does can tie into Allie in some way. The hat being given to Phoebe symbolizes that Holden wants to give her something to remember him by. He doesn't sit well with the thought of forgetting someone you love, and so he gives her the hat as a symbol of himself. Holden has been mentally and emotionally scarred from Allie's death, and so I believe all his strange acts are a sort of result of his unhappy and grieving self. __Your ideas:__ Mr. Antolini began to give Holden a speech about how his actions will result in a downfall that will leave him angry with himself and the world. Holden becomes interested (which surprised me... I thought he would be extremely offended) and wants to hear what Mr. A is going to say. Instead, Mr. A goes on and on about how Holden will learn a great amount about his own mind and Holden becomes bored. I thought it was strange because usually at something this strange and accusatory, Holden would be offended and end up either leaving or changing the subject right away. Mr. A could possibly be right about Holden's downfall, but the fact that Holden mentions that he was drinking could affect that statement because he could not be aware of what he is saying at all. Personally... I figure Holden will have a downfall that will cause extreme depression and a sudden outburst that will land him in a home. __Your ideas:__ I believe that Mr. A was either extremely drunk or showing an act of sympathy toward Holden. He has just gained the knowledge that Holden has dropped out of another college and is very upset that he is on his own again. Offering for Holden to stay with him is the first kind and fatherly gesture that Mr. A gives Holden. Lecturing Holden is another act of sympathetic fatherly like expression that Mr. A expresses toward Holden. I have a few thoughts including maybe Mr. A never had a son (like he possibly tried to concieve and failed and therefore is reaching out to Holden like a father) or is too drunk to realize that Holden is there and is just being drunk and stange. Either way I personally do not think that it was an act of homosexuality. __Your ideas:__ Wow. This was probably the strangest chapter of any book i've ever read. First he sleeps on the bench at the train station and probably doesn't get well rested. Then he winds up back in New York and begins talking to his dead brother Allie. I thought it was so strange that he would do this in public, but he is so upset and STILL grieving over his lost brother that he doesn't seem to care (and this makes me wish he had a shrink he could talk to). After this he goes back to his old school to write Phoebe a note that tells her to meet him at the museum so he could return her money. This was interesting too because the usual Holden would normally keep it, but I think that he really loves Phoebe and that causes him to want to return it. He gets dizzy and faints at the museum and wakes up and acts like nothing is wrong (WEIRDDDDD!!!!) and eventually finds Phoebe as he gets dizzy again. He should be smart enough to know that if you pass out and are still feeling dizzy something is not right with your health and you should see a doctor! Kids that are about 5 or 6 would know to see a doctor if something like this happened, but Holden doesn't even say anything about it... that really irked me. He takes Phoebe to the zoo and they walk on opposite sides of the street (weird again... why wouldn't they just walk together?!) and tells her to ride the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round makes him so happy he wants to cry... is that not weird? His mental health is plummeting at his point I believe from depression. He is so depressed that it is making his physically sick... everything that comes to him ends badly. He is not even himself anymore... he is losing himself to the depression.

__//6.//__<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"> __**//What did you think of the end of the story?//**__
__Your ideas:__ I thought that it was sad and anti-climactic. It made me sad to hear him say that he did not want to talk about the rest of the story because it made him sad. It was a very depressing ending to the story and I thought Holden should stay in the home and not apply to any more schools. All his experiences in the past with schools have just turned out badly. __**//Types of Questions://**__
