Journal 11

Chapter 11

Characters: Holden

Theme: Innocence

Summary: He walks to his room and thinks about Jane; how they met at their summer homes after his mother complained about her dog that went to the bathroom on their lawn. They became good friends, and she was the only one who he had ever shown Allie's baseball glove too because he not only trusted her but knew she liked to write and read poetry. He also recalled the day where Jane's drunk stepfather asked her for cigarettes, but didn't answer him. He left, and she began to cry so Holden held her and kissed her. They always held hands, but not much more than that. 'All you knew was, you were happy,' that's how he thought about holding Jane's hand, and he said she was very good at holding hands. He got back to his room, and was upset about all his thoughts. Instead of sleeping when he wasn't tired, he headed back downstairs to get in a taxi.
