Now that Allie is dead and that D.B. moved away, Holden feels that he doesn’t have anyone. It is just he and his little sister Phoebe. Holden also misses his family, and rarely gets to see them because he goes to a boarding school. Holden feels depressed from the prior events in his family, and no longer has the desire to learn or strive to be successful.
This quote shows that he does not care about his future in education. “They gave me frequent warning to start applying myself- but I didn’t do it.” One of the major factors for Holden’s depression is his multiple
I feel useless and lonely. My parents realize they have no reason to keep working hard if I am not going to go to college. My parents soon understood that they had not been treating me like on of their children. They just wanted me to go further than they did and did not know how to express that to me. My parents try and buy me things and carenow to make up for all these lost years but my heart has turned cold.
Having to moving away from the only place I had known would automatically bring emotional stress; cause me to miss my best friend, and learn to readjust to a new life. I was not a happy camper once I was told we were moving. It was right in between the first week that
Their mother agreed. Shortly after Leonard arrived Phoebe and Deidre did not like him at all. They tried as hard as they could to ignore him and make him feel like he was alone and didn’t have anyone. But he made the best of it and tried to make friends. But he had a lot of trouble with that.

After Henry’s experience in the war he was never the same person and was never happy. It wasn’t that he wanted to be like that it was that he was unable to find that happiness after being in so much hate.
Acting “hard” or putting up a “front”, hardened my once loveable heart. Acting untrustworthy made me unable to trust. I came home as a clean, sober, and completely lonely asshole. A complete identity jump from my former self, that I am still having a difficult time trying to recover
Not functioning properly can also cause flaws in your character and allow you to put on a show instead of sharing what you are feeling. You will always feel as if you are losing the race and never leading, never in control. Lastly, running can result in bad or non-established relationships. I have had so many non- meaningful relationships that I am about to write a book on how to stay away from relationships. One time I met someone and I knew she was supposed to be my best friend and I did everything in my power to run away from the embracement and welcoming and more importantly, the
Everything was different, I felt empty inside and lifeless, because it didn't feel like home. Through my years here I experienced denial, anger, bargaining, and depression. I have become to realize I had to accept what had happened and move on. But what got me to this realization are the ones that lost their lives due to this tragedy. They were the fuel that made me want to try life again.
On this trip, I was my usual grump of a self. I was unwilling to participate in fun activities and sarcastic about everything we did together. I came to an important realization: This is not me. I shouldn't feel unhappy all the time. I could change things.
