So I know we read about the ducks a long time ago...but on Tuesday when we were doing our group things, my group some how got on the ducks subject and what they really meant to Holden...If you dont know what I am talking about; its when Holden asked the two Taxi drivers were the ducks went in the winter.I think the reason he wanted to know was because ducks are always together; they fly together, they swim together, eat and so on. But Holden wants to feel that also, he wants to be able to be himself and still know that their is someone out their what will care about him, no matter what. He doesnt want to be alone but he wont give in and be like everyone else. I mean their is ducks that look different but they all still stay together.

i think that your reasoning for holden wanting to be a duck is really great, dzeneta! i can see holden's desire to be like everyone else through his many encounters, especially with sally, however, it seems like he never finds his niche... do you think holden will ever find people who understand him?
ReplyDeleteI really dont think he will find someone that understands him, tell he understands himself.
ReplyDeletethe ducks are in two chapters and both of them are when Holden asks a cab driver and one of them says that he knows that the fish the stay in the water frozen all winter.
