Phoebe's Carousel January 3, pages 196-214 RR12

The ongoing importance of Holden’s relationship with his little sister is again apparent in this section of the story. After spending part of the evening at his house with his sister and one of his past teacher’s houses, Holden makes another impulsive decision and decides to head out west the next day and live on his own. He is very intent on going through with this complex plan he only had made that day. Holden wants to meet his sister during his lunch to tell her he is going, but she says that she is going with him. Because of how upset Phoebe got Holden decided that he wouldn’t go through with his trip and stayed around just to make her happy. She is so important to him that he was willing to forget his prior decision and face his parents. He was content in watching Phoebe ride on the carousel for the rest of the day.
