Fact That Holden Catcher In The Rye
1,101 words
Siblings are never meant to get along. They yell
and bicker over everything and are never able to
have a friendly relationship. Very rarely do I see
a pleasant relationship between a brother and a
sister, who actually are able to communicate
without killing each other. When I see siblings

Brother Allie Inferiority Complex

Who is Holden really? ? ? A lousy, uninteresting
phony? Or is he the most intelligent and cleverest
person you ever met? Well This question isnt
really easy to answer. Personally I think that he

suffering from major mental problems. On the one
side, he is this guy who tries to be cool and
accepted by other people. However, on the other
hand, he is this little lonely child who is
seeking for someone who...
