catcher in the rye. 2

The second part was so much better. I really felt like I got to know Holden, and what he was going through. I feel that Holden thinks its his job to protect everyone. He puts too much stress on his himself,and he doesn't let other people into his life help him out through this tough time he's having. For example when he talks about him standing on the cliff having to protect the children. I think this shows one that he is finally maturing, and seeing that he has to be responsible, and two he does take too much on. He needs to let other people into his life. Just like Mr. Andilini says he doesn't know how to deal with whats going on in his life. If he would just tell someone. I think that his relationship with Pheobe lets him express himself. But i also feel that he is that close with her because he wants to be a good big brother after loosing allie. He thinks that it is important for him to fill the role, and be the best big brother she has, so he doesn't think about how much he is missing his own. I find his relationships with his teachers/ former teachers really strange. Who just walks into their teachers house and spends the night? Holden shouldn't feel that he has to please his parents all the time. I know that now, parents are probably one of the main sources of stress in a teenagers life, but that they should be the people helping us get of it. Holden is afraid of what his parents are going to do after they find out that he has been kicked out of school, and that he has been wondering around NYC for the past three days. When he sneaks home to see his sister, he is very paranoid about his parents showing up and finding him there, which I think he should be able to look to his parents for help. This brings it back to the he puts too much on himself, because he can't look to his parents for that help, and loving support because he feels that he isn't as good as D.B. for them to deal with.
Well, this project is now over, so I will probably never come back on here, unless we have to use it next year.
