Catcher in the Rye Chapter 4 and 5 / Anssssswwweeerrrssss

1) Holden and Stradlater are not friends but they dont hate one another, its like... they have a normal relationship, sometimes Holden thinks good things about Stradlater and they talk in a good way but sometimes Holden seems to think that Stradlater is a bastard and a sonuvab!tch.

2) I Think that Holden likes her because he was really interested in her and in the date that she had with Stradlater, I think this because when Stradlater talked about the date with Jane Gallagher, Holden was really surprised due to this.

3) The reason he didnt go downstairs is that he wasnt in the "mood". I think it was the real reason, because maybe he wasnt feeling ready to see again an old "friend".

4) It serves steak because a lot of parents go to Pencey on sunday, and they would probably ask their boys what did they have for dinner last night.

5) It shows that holden can be friendly and that he seems to like going out with friends, it also shows that maybe he doesnt hate Ackley that much.

6) He didnt throw the snowball to the can because it looked so nice and white and he didnt throw it to the hydrant because it looked so nice and white too.

7) Actually it didnt surprise me because I kind of knew he would do it, I think he does it because he didnt have anything else to do.

8) I guess it is because he already knew what he would write in the composition, so he didnt want to write about Houses or rooms.

9) Allie was intelligent and he didnt get mad easily, while Holden seems to get mad easily and not to be very intelligent apart from the english subject.

10) 1.- "He was two years younger than I was, but he was about fifty times as intelligent"

      2.- When he broke all the windows in the garage the night after Allie's death, it shows that he really liked            Allie as a person and as a brother.
