Phoebe

Phoebe is the only person that Holden feels he can trust. She is perfect in his eyes, and will always be. I think that he almost looks up to her, rather than her looking up to him. I think the hardest part is that Holden is starting to see her grow up, and that is the one thing he does not want to happen. I can relate to Holden because I don't want to see my sisters grow up either. I think it would be nice if they stayed young forever. But that will never happen :)

Poem

I felt like I was in love with her, I wanted to marry her.

I swear to God I’m crazy.

I told her I loved her and all, it was a lie.

I sort of hated old Sally by the time we got in.

It was brutal

Then all of a sudden, I got this idea

C’mon, lets get outta here.

Isn’t it fantastic?

I said no.

We both hated each others guts!

I swear to God I’m crazy!

So basically I tried to write it how Holden would. He changes his opinion so much, its confusing.

Once again Holden is running away from his problems. Once he realizes that he spilled the beans about how he feals about everything to her he wants to try to run away from his problems by suggesting they run away together. Then oce again when he gets turned down he takes it out on her rather then realizing that it was such a crazy question to ask. He is going to have to face his problems one time or another!
