.... (step)mother required of her (Kolbenschlag 525). Like a housemaid, she took everything they could give her and never complained.

.... be a rough tough boy. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He drank, cursed and criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these habits. I myself have found me doing this at times, also.

.... if I have to choose one character, it would have to be Danny. That's the obvious choice. He's the main character and he's pretty easy to talk about. Danny is not that interesting, it's just that all of the other characters are really boring. One thing that I thought was interesting is how Danny was quite a drinker. He got drunk a lot. And he ended up. . . whoops! Almost slipped you the ending. Anyway, Danny was also the character that gave all of the other characters their shelter.
