The Catcher in the Rye January 5, page 126 Q5

“If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don’t watch it, you start showing off. And then you’re not as good any more.”

I agree with this statement that Holden makes. The meaning behind it makes a lot of sense to Holden’s personality. If a person stops being humble about a talent that they have that when they do it, it won’t be as impressive anymore. Holden is judgmental of people and has problems with a lot of things they do. This also fits in with Holden’s dislike of adults. It is quotes like this that lead me to believe Holden enjoys children so much because of how innocent they are.
