Holden

In the Catcher in the rye, by  J.D. Salinger, the main character is Holden Caulfield. He's 16 years old and a junior at this school named Pencey academy.In the story he gets expelled from the school because of his bad grades.He's a pretty smart guy but just doesn't do the work he's asked to do. He hunts for phonies in the book and he tries to protect the innocent people.
 In my opinion,i think Holden is a good person,or he could be a better person because of just they fact that he tries to protect innocent people.I think that he could stop a couple of his habits,like smoking or getting drunk and all.But other than that he would kind of be like a normal person. Holden probably had a rough childhood with his younger brother,Allie,dying.That probably led him to his habits.
 I think as we continue reading we will get to know Holden a little better,and see what he does.I think he will probably change.But ill guess we'll find out soon.
