Hmm. My first blog entry.
Holden is obviously alienated. He feels alone. He feels like no one understands him. One of the interesting things about the book is how distanced Holden is from the world. It doesn't seem like he has any real friends, and he isn't even that close to his family, save for his sister Phoebe and his late younger brother Allie.
He wanders through his life without close friendship and without motivation. He doesn't like most of the people around him, especially the adults. He feels alone because he doesn't want to become one of them, unlike his peers.
Who hasn't felt alienated? I, for one, feel alienated a lot. Because of this, I empathize with Holden. More on that next entry.
