Catcher in the rye
I think that Holden is kind of a troublemaker and that he threw away his academic career by getting kicked out of school because he was failing 4 of his 5 classes. He moved in a room with a roomate that he was jelous of and he lived by Ackley, a guy that annoyed him. Holden has a crush on Jane, and he can't really stand that his roomate Stradlater is going on a date with her because he thinks Stradlater is a slob. There is clearly tension between the two of them before Stradlater even goes on the date. I think that Holden is over reacting and he doesn't really have anything to get mad over because he dated Jane a long time ago and Stradlater doesn't even know that. Stradlater goes on the date and when he gets home there is a lot of tension between him and Holden, and they end up getting in a fight. Holden tackles him and I don't think he should have done it because he ends up getting beat up. Stradlater does the right thing and tries to get him to stop and calm down but Holden won't stop provoking him so Stradlater hits him in the face. I don't really blame him for doing it because that is the only way that Holden was going to stop saying things to him. Holden also has to think of the fact that his brother died of leukemia. When it happened, he got very emotional and he slept in the garage and broke out all the windows. I dont blame him for being emotional, and he writes about his brother for Stradlaters english assignment. The assignment is the main reason that they got in a fight because Stradlater freaked on him because his brother had nothing to do with the assignment. Eventually Holden gets to spend some time with Jane and he gets to comfort her and kiss her because her dad upsets her. I think that Holden and Jane will probably end up getting back together and there is going to be a lot of drama between Stradlater and Holden.
