Holden views Phoebe as one of the only people he truly cares about and trusts. He values her opinion and seeks her approval and acceptance, as her love is a source of comfort and stability for him in his tumultuous life. Holding Phoebe's forgiveness is crucial to Holden as it reaffirms their bond and his sense of belonging and connection to someone he deeply values.
After Holden thought that he might get pneumonia and die, the idea of what Phoebe would do if this really happened crossed his mind. He remembered how much Phoebe likes him and decided to go home early to see her. -Maya A. Acs
Phoebe's brother Holden Caulfield taught her to dance in the novel "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. He promised to take her to the zoo so they could dance together when she got tired.
yeah listen im not so good with this
Holden Caulfield found it amusing that his younger sister, Phoebe, would get so intensely focused on winning when she played checkers. He noted that she would pout and become serious, which contrasted with the lighthearted nature of the game. This combination of her determination and childlike demeanor struck Holden as funny and endearing.
Holden mentions that he enjoyed The Great Gatsby and the character Gatsby himself, who picked up the affectation of calling people "old sport." Holden also mentions how Gatsby specifically calls people "old sport," which leads the reader to believe that Holden is imitating Gatsby's mannerisms.This is particularly important because Gatsby was a "phony" of sorts; he did not fit into the society of established money and assumed a persona that wasn't his, including a different name. Holden mirrors Gatsby as a character in that he doesn't fit in and feels ostracized. Gatsby is also preoccupied with the past and unsuccessfully strives to relive it; Holden is obsessed by the idea of freezing time like the items in the museum so that time cannot proceed.
He finds her notebook to be so intriguing because he thinks she is still so innocent and still a little kid. He thinks the questions are random and "little" because she hasn't been exposed to the real world yet. Unlike him, she hasn't been exposed to the things he has seen and he wants it to be kept that way
I don't think so.
Watching Phoebe on the carousel, Holden experiences a moment of pure happiness and peace. It represents a rare moment of innocence and joy in his otherwise troubled and confused life, reminding him of the importance of preserving innocence and protecting the young from the harsh realities of the adult world.
Holden liked the museum so much because it never changes.
That might be your opinion but I think that so
Phoebe Caulfield is Holden's little sister. She is around the age of ten and on the brink of corruption, about to become a phony. Holden is constantly trying to immortalize her purity and innocence, but is always reminded of the fact that she is slowly growing up; ex: Holden buys a record entitled "Little Shirley Beans" for Phoebe, but the record breaks. Another way in which Phoebe is slowly becoming a phony and betraying Holden is by her role as Benedict Arnold in her school's play.Jane Gallagher is Holden's childhood friend that he may or may not have had romantic feelings for. Holden notes that she had dealt with hardships within her family, causing her to be very guarded; Ex: In checkers, Jane always kept her kings on the back row instead of moving them. Holden gets in a fight with his roommate at Pencey Prep, Stradlater, because he refuses to give Holden information about his date with Jane."Sunny" The Prostitute is the very young girl that Holden is provided with by Maurice, Sunny's pimp. Instead of doing "proper" business with Sunny, Holden insists that the two just talk. Sunny's green dress is very symbolic in the sense that the dress is hiding her true identity from the world; The dress gives her a youthful and innocent appearance while her true motives on the inside are quite the opposite.Sally Hayes is a girl that Holden is know to have been dating for a long time, even though he views her as the epitome of a phony. Holden takes her out to see a show at Radio City and the two go ice skating, where he proposes that they run away together.
The carrosel shows that 1: Holden has accepted himself into the "adult world' by not going on it. He has accepted that he is grown up. 2: When all the kids are reaching for the "gold ring, if they fall, they fall" you just have to let them "fall" out of childhood, which goes back to the cliff catcher in the rye scene, Holden no longer feels the responsibility of saving kids from falling into adult hood.
