Catcher in the Rye The future for Holden is a slight reflection of his past. for my essay I can't see holden going on in life with out troubles.
Holden gets out of the hospital after being in it for a year and a couple of months. You can see that his views on life and people have change. However you can still see that there is a little hate towards phonies. He is slowly falls back into a minor depression due to schoolwork and girl problems. You can still see that he would like to get back together with Jane, however Jane is in love with a different person. This causes Holden to go back into a slight depression on a coarse only getting worse. He is remitted to the hospital but only for a couple weeks, he finally feels like himself again. However there is no way to know until he is tested.
