CITR Question and Answers 2

Q: If you were Holden, and you had just been kicked out of school, where would you go? Why?

A: This is definately a tough one. There are two choices I would choose from. One would be travelling all the way to California to visit my great aunt and uncle. They live in Sacramento, I have enever visited them, and I would love to explore the vast region of California. But I know they would understand. I could tell them what happened without being yelled at or lectured. They wouldn't press me to give them answers either. I know they would try to subtly whip me into shape without making me feel pressured. Of course, visiting California would cost tons. Depending on whether or not I had money would probably be the deciding factor. My other choice would have to be going to my aunt and uncle's house in Hamilton. My cousins are both grown and I know they would be more than happy to take me in. They'd be understanding about it and I just know that they would let me stay as long as I needed to for when I faced my parents. They would probably even give me some suggestions on what to say to them and how to present myself.

Jane's Character and Her Importance to Holden~

A: Jane is definately vital to Holden's life. Obviously he's in love with her and can't get her off his mind. I think it's sweet. She was a big part of Holden's childhood and she's still apart of Holden's life. He can't get her off his mind. Whenever he's lonely, he thinks of Jane. It seems that whenever he's in a crappy mood, he thinks of her too. I feel that he's protective of her too. When she found out that Jane was with his Stradlater, he completely freaked out. He kept saying he couldn't imagine them together.

Discuss whether or not people can ruin things for you~

A: I feel that this is untrue. I think that people don't ruin things for you, you ruin things for yourself by letting people supposedly ruin things for you, if that makes sense. People aren't always ruining things. The people in your life are suppose to be there to support you and if they don't, you have to just ignore them. Letting them ruin things for you is just ruining it for yourself.
