Catcher in the Rye Chapters 7-12

*If I had just been kicked out of school, I would go to the library. I would spend days there, just reading all the books I never have time to read. What I do next would depend on where I am. If I was in NYC, I would go to Central Park or go window shopping or visit the zoo. If I got kicked out of school right now, I would probably go downtown. The only problem with getting kicked out of school now is that I would run into somebody I know eventually. It would be fun to pretend to be someone else though...
*I don't think people are always ruining things for you. But, it all depends on your POV. If you look at a situation and think of all the horrible possibilities/outcomes, then people are always ruining things for you. But if you look at all the good things that happened, then people are always making life better.

*Jane is someone who Holden really feels connected too. I think that they really understand each other. From what I know about Holden; Jane, Allie, and Phoebe are the people that matter most to him. This is partially because these are the people Holden can act normal around. He doesn't always have to play the part of the "big, tough guy", he can let the little kid inside of himself show. The difference between Jane and Phoebe/Allie is that she is his age, so he can be the older part of himself too. So, I think the real reason that Holden likes Jane so much is because he can act like the smaller and bigger parts of himself.
