#half my annatations of catcher are just ‘<33’

[messy-thought-dumper]

can I just talk about how genuinely sweet Holden is? like, im rereading the book and he’s just such a nice guy? like, in the first few chapters, at least.

he goes and visits his history teacher, even in the freezing ass weather, just to say bye and all?? and he just lets Ackley hang around, despite talking about how much he disliked him, cus the guy’s lonely?? he even asked him to come hang out with his friend cus he felt bad that Ackley was alone on a saturday night ?? and he tries to defend people and all even when they’re not there!! like, when ackley was shitting on stradlater and all, holden starting telling him that stradlater was really just a nice guy who was a bit conceited and phoney sometimes - but he really means well. HE FUCKING TRIED TO DECK HIS ROOMMATE BECAUSE HE DIDNT LIKE THE IDEA THAT HE JUST WENT AROUND WITH GIRLS WITHOUT EVEN TRYNA GET TO KNOW THEM??? LIKE??? also the whole paragraph about allie !!

there’s probably a lot more that I’ll add later, but that’s all I can remember from the first forty pages rn. but, yeah, he’s just a really nice guy??
