I Can Relate to Holden

As a fifteen year old, I understand the problems that Holden Caufeild undergoes in the few days that the story takes place. The way he states his opinions are exaclty the way I state my opinions in my mind. He has a true, down to earth character that most teenagers can understand. He is a strong individual who is not afraid to speak his mind and does what he wants to do, which is a hard quality to find in most people my age.
