Holden lives in NYC
he doesn't actually like it
they're all "phonies" , hates taking cabs & buses.
He seems to only like central park because he seems to find his happy medium there.
he knows it "backwards & forwards"
Amanda found a quote relating to our discussion & noted it down:
"Well, I hate it. Body, do I hate it" I said. "But it isn't just that. It's everything. I hate living in New York and all. Taxicabs, and Madison Avenue buses, with the drivers and all always yelling at you to get out at the rear door and be introduced to phony guys that call the Lunts angel and going up and down in elevators when you just want to go outside, and guys fitting your pants all the time at Brooks, and people always-" pg. 130
Jenna- Thinks that living in NYC effects his personality; he's rough and tough, he smokes, and in school, he acts as a bully. The only reason he lives in New York right now is because he got kicked out of school.
Jessye- I think it's interesting how at school, Holden seemed to act so tough and as if he was amazing and higher then everyone. At this point he is now hating everyone and everything around him. He can never live in a place that makes him happy, his utopia doesn't exist.
