what i feel about Holden now

After reading further into the Catcher in the Rye, I now feel empathy for Holden because I can relate to what he is saying. When he found out that one of his old time friends was going to be at his school, he got really excited because he was all alone on the other side of the country in New York, and wanted to see a familiar face that he could talk to. When he was in his old teachers house, I could relate to how he didn't want to be there and how he reacted to smelling the vick's cold drops and seeing the old man
s body. When he was on the subway and was navigating the whole fencing team to New York and he forgot the fencing equipment on the subway, I could relate to that. Holden had to take the whole fencing team to New York, which by itself is a lot of stress. He had the whole team relying on him to get them there, and he had to watch after the gear as well. That's a lot of responsibility for one person, especially a kid to handle.
