Catcher In The Rye Chapter 11

Summary: He is sitting in the lobby of the hotel and is thinking about the time he spent with Jane. He talks about how they got very close but never did anything physical, just held hands. He talks about how much fun he had with her. He brings up a time when he was playing checkers with her and she started crying when her mom's boyfriend came home and asked her if she had a cigarette. Holden sees that she is crying and starts kissing her to comfort her.

Response: I think that remembering all of these things isn't doing Holden any good. It is just reminding him about how good things were. Which makes him feel even more depressed and lonely now. I think that he should call her up so that he doesn't feel so bad. Talking to her has to cheer him up.
