"The best thing, though, in the museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody'd move. You could go there a hundred times, and that eskimo would still be just finished catching those two fish, and the birds would be on there way south, the deers would still be drinking ouf of the water hole, with their pretty antlers and their pretty, skinny legs, and the squaw with the naked bosom would still be weaving that same blanket. Nobody'd be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. " -page 121. I think that this passage shows us so much about Holden. It really shows us he is a thinker and has so much more then you assume he is. Deep inside Holden is kind of sensitive in a way. I think that change is something that bothers him, he would perfer things to be like they used to be... he wants to go back to when he was a child I think. I don't blame he his life kind of sucks right now. I just really like that passage/ quote, in a way I think that we all relate to what he is trying to get accross in this and its good stuff.

  1. I agree with you that Holden is a thinker and he is deep. I like how you touched on how he wants things to be the way that they were on a child because I sense that too.
