Emotional State

Talking to Holden you can see the various emotions in his attitude,personality and the way he talks.I think the root of his emotional problems lie in his childhood. Some events that might have shaped who he is today are his brothers death, his parents relationship with him, him and Jane, and just the way he thinks. Holden getting drunk doesnt help this situation either. He never seems happy or glad. He is always depressed, stressed or tierd. Holden is a hard to teen to crack because of all the emotions he expressed and the way he does it.
