Chapter 16

Holden goes for a walk, he still is thinking about the nuns and how they are so giving and wonderful. he also buys a record for phoebe because she is so caring and loving and Holden loves to talk to her because even though she is only ten years old she understands him. He sees an little boy walking in the street, singing, “If a body catch a body coming through the rye.” This really cheers him up, and he decides to call Jane, he hangs up when her mother answers the phone. since he will be meeting Sally soon, he buys theater tickets to a show called I Know My Love, which stars the Lunts.
Holden really wants to see his sister, he goes to look for her in the park because he remembers that she roller-skates there on Sundays. He meets a girl who knows her. she tells him that his sister is on a school trip to the Museum of Natural History, but she remembers that the trip was the day before. Holden walks to the museum, remembering his own class trips. he loves the musum how everything is frozen, life is frozen in time, the people there don't change and the people that leave change.

Response- it seems that Holden's favorite people are Jane and his 10 year old sister, i think it is because it reminds him, like always, of when he was happy. i really wonder how this date is going to go, things could get ugly or they may go well?!...
