Connection to Holden

Holden Caulfield demonstrates to be a very observant person. He not always expresses that, and his behavior almost hardly never shows what he really thinks about something. I think that is my main connection with Holden: the hypocrisy of not liking something, or thinking bad about something, but even though living with it, without showing it to others. I believe my reason would be different thought. Holden seems to do that because he couldn't care less. I do that because I try to keep a state of welfare around me. I think about a lot of stuff, and I would be lying if I said I don't judge people. But the difference is that I don't let my judgment reach my behavior. In other words: I try to treat people equally.

Holden really dislikes movies and criticizes society and the way people act. I feel connected with that sentiment on movies, and consequently the way people act. I really think people are "phony", like Holden would say, in the movies, and it makes me mad that the movies influence people to act like that in real life. Movies are normally too dramatic for no reason, and people take those stories as facts. Then, inevitable, people start basing their lives on the movies! And it should be the opposite: movies based in real life. People wish they were living in a movie picture, so they add drama and problems that they don't have, but the truth is that real life has no soundtrack.

Like Holden said, sometimes, movies make want to puke. And I really feel physically nauseated with people's attitude.
