Chapter 9

When Holden gets off the train he wants to call someone because he is feeling very lonely. He cant think of anyone to call though because he brother is in Hollywood, his sister is asleep and he doesnt want to talk to his parents. He thinks about calling Jane, but then says he isnt in the mood, or this other girl, but her mother hates him. So he ends up not calling anyone, instead he gets a cab and goes to a hotel. he tries to talk to the cab driver, he asks him where the ducks go in the winter. The driver gets kind of mad, he thinks its a stupid question. When he is in his hotel room he looks out the window and sees some people doing strange things. One guy is putting on womens clothing, and in another room a boy and girl are spitting water at each others faces. Watching this Holden feels very lonely and calls up a girl he has never meet before to come over and have drinks with him. She says she cant because she needs her sleep. She says she can come tomorrow, but Holden says no and hangs up.

Right now Holden is feeling very lonley. I think he just called that girl because he wanted to talk, not because he wanted to do anything with her. Holden seems to get lonley quit often, he is always trying to talk with someone or trying to think of someone to call.
