Period 4

Summary: Holden meets Luce at the Wicker bar in the Seton Hotel. When Luce leaves Holden gets super drunk trying to get with many girls and then he decides to walk to the pond in Central Park. He leaves to go walk home and talk to Phoebe. 

Quotation: "So I got the hell out of the park, and went home. I walked all the way. It wasn't too far, and I wasn't tired or even drunk anymore. It was just very cold and nobody around anywhere. 

Quotation Significance: Instead of just walking back to the hotel Holden decides to walk home to talk to Phoebe. This is going to be very interesting to read about when he gets home.

Reflection: Once it talks about how he is going to try and not wake up his parents, I knew that his parents are going to wake up when he gets home. I have a pretty confident feeling that his parents are going to wake up just to add more fuel to the plot. We are shown again how depressed Holden is when he gets so drunk and tries to get with many girls. It was interesting to read why Holden decided to walk all the way to central park to see the ducks, and how his hair begins to freeze! I am interested to see what happens when Holden reaches his home. 

Discussion Question: What are his parents going to say when they see him, if they wake up?
