Childhood to Adulthood

I find Holden as a very hypocritical person. I don't think that he is conscience of how he will think of one thing and then do the exact opposite. Like the fact that he tries to buy alcohol but yet is like a child, too scared to confront his parents about beeing kicked out of Pencey. It seems that normally the transition between childhood and adulthood may be hard, but not as difficult as Holden's. I feel that he is scared to leave his childhood because he was a child when Allie was alive and maybe that growing up will distance his connection and memory of him. I think that he also has problems with the idea of attatchment. He has never stayed long at one school, his parents and him are not close, he lost a brother at a young age, and that maybe growing up will "detatch" the one thing that he is still attatched to, his brother's memory.
