I do not have any close friends any longer. In college, I had a few friends, but never really got to the point of “closeness” with them. I always felt that they would never accept me for me, especially if they knew that I came from a poor family and had a father that was serving a life sentence for beating my mother. Finding this out, I am sure that they would just assume that I was just as horrible of a person. If I had to choose one person that I am closest to, it would be my mother.
It was evident that she was in the stage of denial. She kept brushing off the fact that his brother is dead. She could not seem to accept that she could not do anything for him to come back. She does not want to recall something terrible and unacceptable that has happened in her life or to his brother perhaps, that even when Porter was telling her about it, she still denies it and does not want to remember it.

By nature people are afraid of the unknown, and when something changes people assume the worst even with just an appearance. Just like in the story people don’t go directly to the person to ask them why, but just to sneer and make rumors. Where do we learn not to directly approach a person if something is odd about them? We all do it, even I do it. Even if its family we don’t ask, just assume.
However, Elijah did struggle with some things. Elijah was what we call an introvert, meaning that he did not like to work with other people.

The detail in this book also brings out the topic that Holden doesn’t want to accept adult hood in his own life or that of any other child. Saying that the life of an adult is “phony” because of the goals and desires they pursue. But also Holden’s life is out of place because of this. Holden doesn’t understand why people want to change or why they have the loss of innocence after adolescence.
