Holden always used to be the quiet one of the group. He tried to stay out of trouble, as much as possible, though it never seemed to work out for him. Now as unbelievable as that sounds, by what I've learned about Holden; I can see him being successful if he's pushed to his limits.
Do you know when you are falling under everything. Either depression, being angry, etc. You always think of one person, or maybe even two. Yet usually in the end, there's usually one that helps you out the most. As for Holden, he completely forgot about his, until his roomate Stradlater reminded him of her.
Jane Gallagher, Holden's friend from a few years back, has returned and is going out with Stradlater. Holden doesn't like this idea, as Stradlater is known for his ways. Supposidely, Stradlater can get any girl he wants if he pleases. He has his charming ways, that Holden is somewhat jealous of, but wishes he never came across.
Now with Jane being back in Holden's life, he seems to be happier. He's trying to go out more often, talks to more people, remembers more of his past, wants to talk to his family members (more so his sister), etc. He does this in hope to see Jane one day.
Holden never used to care about a lot of things. He is the way he is, it seems. He doesn't care what others think of him, as long as he's living the life he pleases. It's not getting him very far, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him so much that he's going insane. Sure, Holden gets depressed. But let's just say that lovely Jane Gallagher is his drug. Whenever he thinks of her, he changes. He thinks more positive, acts more happy, actually smiles, and isn't depressed anymore.
Oh what one person can do to another...
