In the book <catcher in the rye>, the main character, Holden Caulfield, is facing a problem: He got kicked out of school, again, and he’s afraid of his family’s reaction, so he has been refusing to go home.
I don’t think Holden has solved the problem; he doesn’t even try to solve it. What I’ve read from the book, he is just simply running away from it. He’s afraid of going home, so he decided to “have some fun”. He went to different bars, met different people, and hanged out with girls. However, somehow, he seems to hate whatever it is. He seems to hate the place he’s staying and he hates the phony society.
If I am the character, I don’t think running would be the best option. People can’t always run away from things they have to do. People can’t always live in denial. Sometimes, even though the fact may be hard to accept but you just have to accept it. Escape can’t always work. So if I am Holden, I would go straight home instead of wandering on streets and wasting time. I would tell parents how regret I am now and I would admit the wrongs I’ve done. And then try to find out the solution with them together. Besides, if I really hate the society so much, why not just go home.
