Summary:
Holden all throughout this chapter and even the book is acting in an annoying matter. He would always get on everyone's case and start talking about them as if he were a little kid. I infer that Holden has some type of hyperactive disorder. His attitude always reflects him acting in a childish way which does not really fit in with his age and the way his mind should run. Not many people get along with Holden and they act hypocritical towards him. I can tell Holden tries really hard to find new friends but he jus completely fails at it. Like in chapter 14 Holden hires a promiscuous girl but ends up not doing anything with her and he only pays her $5 when he was supposed to pay her $10. Then the girl's manager got mad and asked Holden for the money and as Holden refused, the guy punched him. Holden needs to learn how to grow up and live in the grown up world because he is definitely past the age of a child.

Response:
Holden at times feels so lonely that he lowers himself to get drunk and confide in alcohol to help him feel better. However, he lacks to know that alcohol causes him more problems than he ever thought.
