Catcher In The Rye Chapter 25

Summary: He goes to Grand Central Station to get some sleep and get his bags. He sleeps there until it starts to get busy and he can't put his feet up anymore. He walks around and decides to go to Phoebe's school to get her a note telling her to see him during her lunch so he can give her back her money and say goodbye. He hands the note to the secretary and makes up a story so she will give it to her without reading it. He talks to her for awhile to kill time then walks around the school. He sees some swear words written on the wall and gets mad. He goes to the spot where he told her to meet him and waits for her to come. She is late when she finally shows up and she is carrying a suitcase. She says that she is going with Holden. When he tells her no she gets mad and won't talk to him. He tells her that he isn't going anywhere and that he will take her to the zoo if she will talk to him again. When they walk to the zoo she walks on the other side of the street. As they get to the zoo the more time they spend there the closer she gets to Holden. They come upon a carousel and Phoebe wants to ride it. So Holden buys her a ticket and watches her ride it. He is so happy he thinks that he might cry.

Response: It is a good that he wants to talk to Phoebe before he goes because it tells me that he really cares for her and doesn't want to let her down. Deciding not to go was the best choice he has made since he left school. It shows that he feels a lot better when he feels like crying because he is so happy. He finally made the right choice and it is going to save his life.
