Holden's Past

I decided to travel to Holden's past and ask him if anything significant, good or bad, has occurred throughout the years. He began talking about his the death of his younger brother Allie who had been diagnosed with leukemia. Holden told me about a time after his death when he snapped and broke and broke all the windows in the house and attempted to break the windows of their car. At that moment, I could tell the death of Allie is when Holden began to change and become who is right now. He begins to mention a time when he saw ducks at Central Park and asked where they would go during the wintertime. It seemed like a very random statement at the time but now I can see that Holden is represented as the ducks during wintertime. Just like they are forced to move out of the pond, Holden is forced to leave Pencey. Also, when the ducks must leave, they are lost and don't know where to go. Holden is also very lost during this time wandering the streets of New York without any set destination.
