Entery Number: 1
Page/Quote reflecting on: Pg. 1
I have a lot of questions about our protagonist's life, his parents, and his relation with them. What was occupying Holden's parents so much that they didn't have time for their son? He says that his childhood was lousy. Why is that? Didn't he have any friends or someone to talk too? Later in the book he makes the comment, "They didn't have a maid or anything, and they always opened the door themselves." He was talking about an old couple there but does that and the fact that he goes to a fancy prep school imply that his family was rich? And if they are rich then what jobs do Holden's parents have? They must be pretty high in society since they don't like him or his brother talking about any personal aspects of their lives and are very touchy when it comes to that subject. But if they were, then why couldn't his brother have already had that really nice Jaguar? Also, I don't get the whole David Copperfield thing. What is that suppose to mean? His whole relationship with his parents is pretty strange.
