Sneaking Home January 3, pages 158-175 RR10

Instead of going home and facing his parents early, Holden goes through so much to hide from them. He has been spending a lot of money going on dates, staying in the hotel, and going out to eat that I am surprised he hasn’t just gone home. After his drinks with Luce, Holden stays in the bar and becomes pretty drunk. He wanders around in central park, wet and cold, sobers up and decides to sneak into his house to talk to his sister. I think it is weird that after going to so much trouble and spending all that money that he would risk getting caught by his parents to wake his sister up in the middle of the night to be able to talk to her a couple days early. During their conversation Phoebe brings up a very good point. She asks Holden what he really likes, since he talks about all the things he doesn’t like, and he can’t give her a real answer.
