So sensitive a boy Holden is ,because of which ,as for the society and the real life ,he has more personal experience of them .It is hard for him to adapt to the hypocritical and vulgar society .He could do nothing for it ,but to choose to be depreed and hesitated and to comfort himself with all kinds of unrealistic imagination .At the end ,he compromises to the real society ,instead of being the true traitor.
Why does Holden ultimately capitulate and come back home with Phoebe at the end?
Holden wants to distance himself from people as far as poible so that he never has to experience the pain of loving someone and then losing them again.After Allie, he cannot take another heartbreak.He wants to spare himself the pain of poibly losing Phoebe or seeing her grow up by getting as far away from her as poible.But when she insists on accompanying him, Holden cannot bear to ruin her life, either by letting her come with him or by leaving without her.
Poibilities are slim for Holden to take Phoebe to leave for the west .Maybe a person ,who is going to be an adult ,has the confidence to make himself or herself to live better ,but as for a too young child ,what he or she needs are education in school and comfortable life .Maybe they will eventually make Holden’s younger
sister become a hypocritical person who he hates .But Phoebe can not live without them .So at last ,he chooses to stay in New York instead of going to the west with his sister.
As a matter of fact, we know that something is not that easy for us to escape from.Because we do not just live for ourselves and what’s more ,we should have enough courage to face something we are not so satisfactory .Like Holden ,he chooses to come back home .From it ,we can see he has become more mature and has grown up a little .“Don’t ever tell anyone anything ,if you do ,you start miing everybody .”The sentence Holden speakes indicates that he seems to begin to accept and understand what his teacher Anduo Chiellini says , “The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one .”At that moment ,he may have to admit it to be meaningful ,thought he never thinks that worth listening to.It is true that those people and things you hated very much before ,will be looked so quietly by you ,after you change your minds .Facing the life is also a kind of growing up .Growing up
sometimes is a cruel thing ,because we have to face many things that are not so ideal .Maturity means responsibility and the lo of youth ,but being mature also means a lasting peace of happy life .
