For anyone who’s wondering why Holden’s in a sanitorium, it's because he got Tuberculosis from his heavy smoking, and no, he’s not in a mental hospital; he just meets a psychoanalyst in the hospital, which is why he’s telling/writing his story.
@ In the first chapter, while he’s going to Mr. Spencer’s house, Holden talks about how he’s a heavy smoker, that people forced him to stop, and that smoking was how he “practically got t.b. and came out here for all these goddam checkups and stuff.” (the exact quote).
Holden's avoidant nature is a product of his little brother's death coupled with the fact that his parents are conformists to the current Zeitgeist (Post WWII). As Gordie narrated it in Stand By Me, "That summer I had become The Invisible Boy".
That was amazing 😍😍😍😍
My favourite character so far is Phoebe that adorable cute little girl
Excellent choice, there's no wonder Holden keeps thinking about her! Thanks for leaving a comment!

the book became popular because its one of the classic literature in highschool
