Love of Childhood January 2, pages 124-141 RR8

After reading this section I realize that Holden enjoys the company of children more than he does adults or anyone his age. He complains somewhat about his older brother D.B., but the way talks about and describes his younger siblings Allie and Phoebe, it seems like he worships them. Also, when he is looking for his sister in the park he talks to a girl her age and enjoys the conversation. He gets a kick out of a lot of things that younger kids say and he likes to talk to them. On his search for his sister in the park he ends up at the museum of natural history. Holden reminisces about when he went to that museum when he was younger. One thing I found very interesting was that he said he liked the museum so much because it would always be the same.
