I thought that the night Holden had after getting drunk in New York was extremely strange. When he acts like he got shot, it almost gets a little funny. The fact that he has a history of acting like he got shot in the stomach when he gets drunk is funny to me. It is so strange that it isn't something somebody could make up off the top of their head. On the way out of the bar, he tries to hit on the hat girl, and when she rejects him he starts to cry. When he goes out into the street, things start to get a little sad. He drops the record he buys for Phoebe and it shatters. This is actually makes the reader feel bad for Holden, as he loves his siblings, unlike almost everybody else in this book. After being outside for a while, his hair actually begins to freeze, and Heloden thinks he is going to die. This actually brings up an importatnt part in the novel. Not only does Holden bring up his own death again, he mentions that he missed his own brothers funeral because he was in the hospital. I thought the imagery was very good in this part, so I drew a picture.

Ah, original art! So refreshing.
