chapter 5 response

After reading chapter 5 I see that Holden has a younger brother that was two years younger than him. What I learned about his brother Allie is that he was a very intelligent boy that Holden cared about very much. but on July 18 1946 Holden's life changed. On this day little Allie died of leukemia when they were up in main. I think the death of his little brother changed Holden Attitude about things. For example Holden slept in the garage the night Allie died and he broke all the window, I think he had so much emotion that was build up inside of him that he did not know what to do so he thought breaking the window might let some of the pain go away. How would you feel if someone that was very close to you died.

first impressions of Holden Caulfield

My first impression of holden Caulfield is that he dosent care what anybody thinks, he always speaks his mind. I also think that he is kinda of funny because of the things that he says and the thinks that he thinks.

pre-reading question

3. Explain two struggles you or others face as you/they move from childhood to adulthood.

i think one struggle is knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life for the rest of your life, because growing up might be scary to some people. Another one would be making a transition from living with your parents to being on your own because your parents aren't going to be there to tell you what u can and can do so you have to make the decision for yourself.
