'Better is one's own duty imperfectly carried out than following perfectly the law of another. Better is death in the fulfillment of one's own law, for to follow another's law is perilous.' -The Bhagavad-Gita I think this connects to Holden very well because this is sort of what Holden went by, per-say... Holden kind of went by his own way, and did what he wanted to do when he wanted to, and he did not really want to do what the others, the crowd, was doing when they wanted to do it. "you can't handle the truth!"- a few good men. I like this quote because though out the book people tell Holden that he need to grow up, but he does not really want to grow up, and in a way, he does not want to "handle the truth", he wants to go his own way.

First blog

What i like about Holden is that He does not really care too much, certainly not as much as the other people, and he finds humor and whatnot in things other people would be sad/mad. But I also slightly dislike him because of that...and he is like a teenager because he just acts and thinks like something thinks a teenager acts and thinks, like he's the boss, or they don't have a care in the world. The word. Would pick is probably SympathIze, because I do feel sort of sorry for him, just because of how he is failing school, and he still does not care very much of it. But he also try's to be careful of other peoples stuff(His door was open, but I sort of knocked on it anyway, just to be polite and all)

Second blog

The grief that holden has is that he is getting annoyed in school, and that he is not passing any of his classes, even though he really does not care about that all too much. And after Allie died I think his grief became much worse, and I think he may have went a little insane, or became bullheaded, or even cocky. He is still dealing will allies death, that's easy to see, but it may be kind of bad because he even brought allies old baseball MIT with him to his school, and wrote about it in the thingy. The grief that I have is somewhat like Holden's, I don't mind much, and if something goes wrong I don't care all to much.
