Holden and Phoebe January 2, pages 106-123 RR7

I find it interesting how close Holden is to his sister Phoebe. He does not seem to get that close with anyone else, even any of his friends. He thinks about Phoebe a lot and while he is in New York he wants to buy a record for her. Holden complains about many things. He is pretty pessimistic in my opinion. He sees a lot of things in a bad light, but one of the few things he talks about positively is his little sister Phoebe. He is the same way about his deceased brother, Allie. He brags about Phoebe and while he is in New York he decides that he wants to talk to her. When he first got to New York he wanted to call her that night, but he was too afraid that one of his parents would answer the phone and know that it was him. Holden is closer to his siblings than he is his parents.
