The Catcher in the Rye, reader response #16

How many times have you asked a friend for a favor? Well Stradlater asks a lot from Holden. In chapter 4 Stradlater asks Holden to write him a descriptive composition. This is ironic because Holden is being kicked out of Pencey for failing 4 out of 5 classes and Stradlater wants him to do a good compostions. Normally when you ask someone for help they're normally talented in the field that your asking their help for in this case Holden would be the worst pick.

  1. I find that Holden was a good pick. But Stradlater never specified what exactly he wanted him to describe. So I think Holden was a good pick, but if stradlater would of specified what he wanted to be described, Holden would of done it like he wanted.
