Yes I would want Holden to be my friend because he seems kind of cool. But and then again he is almost normal. When and if I saw Holden walking down the street I would be honored to go up and talk to him. People would think it’s weird but hey there’s nothing to lose. My second gut is telling me that it would be a bad idea to be friends with Holden because he would get in a lot of trouble now that what they said in the book. He did have a lot of problems and he would get mad if he saw what they are today. When you see someone in the hall you introduce yourself to them. That would be the first thing I would do to Holden. If I didn’t like him I would just see him on and off. I’m sure he would do that to me. If he were here every day and tried to talk to me and I thought he was cool then I would hang with him. In conclusion this is why I would and wouldn’t want Holden as a friend…..

If Holden was a real life person then I would enjoy hanging out with him. Me and him can just sit there and talk about life and we could be innocent for a while. But after we talk I would tell him that he has to make a choice and he needs to grow up. I could be one of his meters in the rye. He would also be a friend I could talk to if I have any problems in my life and he can help me get back on track just like I would with him. We would have fun together and I would teach him how to play sports. I would teach him baseball and he can use his brother Allie’s glove with all those poems.

I’m not really sure if I would be Holden’s friend he seems like he could help me with my life. On the other side it seems like if I were to be his friend he would be a downer and kind of always depressed. I think I would if I were to meet him one day I would give him a try and see how our friendship works out. I think it is cool of him how he looks at life so differently and it would be good for me to live life differently for a little bit. So overall after reading about Holden I would try to be friends with him and even if it did not work out I think it would be good for me in the long run.

No, I don’t think that I would want Holden C. to be my friend only because he seems like he’s really immature. If you really think about it, I would want to hang out with someone who is going around trying to take kids out for hot chocolate randomly in Central Park. That’s kind of creepy. Plus he doesn’t want to grow up. I don’t feel like having to deal with a want to be 10 year old. The guy fails high school on purpose because he is afraid of loosing his innocence. I don’t have the time nor the patients for that type of a person.

Yes I would love to have Holden as my friend. Holden represents me in so many ways. I know what it feels like to just want to remain the same little kid and to hold on to all your childhood memories. Being a teenager is no joke. When you’re a little kid you don’t have to worry about what’s going to happen next. You have no worries what so ever. Being a teenager you have all this responsibility put on to you and having people constantly nag in your ear telling you what you can and cannot do. Your stress because your trying to find who you are and what’s your position in the world. If I could be little again I would take in everything that I took for granted. Holden is a teenager also trying to find himself just like me. I believe that if he was a real person he would be my friend. Friends help each other through whatever. And since where both trying to find ourselves we could learn from each other. That’s why I would want Holden as my friend.

Yeah! I woulld love to have Holden as a friend for the simple fact that he is differnet, becase he is not like anyother person that I would normally be friends with.He will tell me like it is and right now in this point in my life im trying to meet new people and people that will tell me like it is stright up and i think that Holden will. Thats why i would love tohave Holdent as a friend.

I would like to have Holden as a friend because I would be able to show him that it is ok to grow up, and that he is not alone in his life that he can have me to talk to about what is going on. Also he might not be so prone to try to keep his innocence but only think of it as a good memory that he has but not something that he has to keep just something that he enjoyed as a child. That is why I would like to have Holden as a friend.

I think Holden would be a good friend. I think that almost everyone can relate to him and he would be a person that you could talk to. He goes through many of the problems an average teen goes through. He is different in a way and that is always a good friend to have around. He might not be a best friend but it would be cool to meet him and give him a chance. The thing that I would like most about him is how different he likes to be from every body else. I think that Holden Caulfield would make a good friend.

If Holden were real I would definitely try to be his friend. I don’t think any one should be excluded in the world. I would still wonder everyday if he’s talking about me or if he’s calling me names. That would be a constant worry for me. I would befriend him in a way that’s not fake, or phony. I would show him the world from a whole new perspective. I would also try to help him understand why people do the things they do. So in conclusion I would definitely befriend Holden.

I don’t think that it would matter if I was his friend or not. I like him because knowing him makes me realize of all the things I do in life. I wouldn’t like him because he smokes all the time and drinks and is always depressed. And I would always feel bad if he is always down. He is a different guy out of all the guys that I know. I like him because he is a really unique guy. And one thing that I do not really like about him is that he was kicked out of schools and he was a drop out. Other than that, he is a really okay person. Saying these things make me think that I don’t know if we would be friends or not.

I would want Holden Caulfield as a friend because he is the guy that is going through the same things that you might be. Also Holden seems like he would always be there for you no matter what happen to you. I think that Holden would protect you from any danger that you might to if it’s on your journey to becoming an adult or if it’s in real life. Holden seems like a trust worth person even though he said that he was a liar but he did really lie all that much. Also Holden would be able to give you advice in your journey to becoming an adult because he has gone through the same thing. So I believe that yes I would want Holden Caulfield as a friend.

If i met Holden Caufeild I wouldn’t want him as a friend. The reason why is because he doesn’t seem too stable, even a little on the crazy side. When I say crazy I don’t mean that I would never hang around crazy people I mean he doesn’t seem like the best friend to have in this world. In a friend, i would want someone who can teach me new things, not so much as make me want to hold on to the things in the past. I respect Holden for the things he went through with Allie but I’m not sure that I could trust him to keep a secret. Maybe we could be associates but i would never put him in a category where trust comes in to place.

I would want Holden Caulfield as my friend because he is going through the same things I am going through. He also seems like the type of character that would be there for you all the time and would never leave you out. Also it seems like you can trust Holden with anything you tell him. Also we all now that he will be there for you if you ever got in a fight so of course he has your “back”. He also would be there if you ever needed advice because it seems like he has been through it all. He also could teach anyone how not to be like everyone else and just be your self.

No, I would not want Holden Caulfield as a friend because he does not seem like he would respect me as I would want a friend to. Yes he is very loving to his little sister because she is still innocent, but he does not seem to understand that everyone needs to grow up. He would probably be a good friend if I was like him and wanted to be a child forever, but other than that he probably would not support me in growing up. If I wanted to go on dates and be a successful adult he would most likely stop being my friend because he would think I would become fake. I would want a friend that I could grow up with, not one that would try to be young forever. Holden Caulfield would be better being friends with people who also wanted to be innocent forever, because then they could help each other get over it.

I would not want Holden as a friend because he is not the kind of person who will listen to me. I would want friends who would respect me and listen to what I have to say. I think that people who don’t want to give up their innocence would be best to be Holden’s friends. I also think that people who want to give up their innocence wouldn’t be best to be Holden’s friends. I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who wanted to stay young forever because we wouldn’t be able to agree on anything.

No I would not like to have Holden Caulfield as a friend at all. He is weird and kind of creepy. He is so obsessed with people’s innocence he doesn’t seem to care about anything else. He’s always talking to little kids trying to get them to go places with him and do stuff with him. It’s really creepy. He reminds me of a pedophile. Not to mention all the smoking and swearing would get really annoying. Although he is going through what just about every teenager in America goes through, I think he is handling it very poorly and needs to get a grip on himself and grow up.

Yes, I would like to have Holden as a friend because he is a confused and interesting teen like me. I love to have friends that I have things in common with. If I were Holden’s friend I would try to help him in everyway that I could. I would show Holden that it’s okay to grow up and show him how to appreciate things in life. I like crazy and complex people I’d rather have him as a friend than someone who is really boring. Holden is in an unstable place in his life but I would help him through that. Although Holden is a bit of a disrespectful person I would still take the chance to get to know him a little better.

I really don’t think that i would want holden as my friend. He has a real problem with lying to people and talking behind their back. I would not be able to stand that about him. My friends and I are really honest with each other, sometimes too honest. But the fact is we don’t say one thing and think another. And another thing, holden has no clue what he wants to do with himself. Me and him would clash so much because he would always be second guessing everything and not choosing something to do. Oh and another thing, the whole running away to New York and drinking and getting a hooker just does not flow with the things that i do.

I wouldn’t want Holden as a friend. He is like a baby that never wants to grow up. I mean he was trying to play on a teeter totter with another kid and then wanted to go get hot chocolate with all the little kids. Yeah he drinks and everything but he just isn’t someone I would like to be around. He seems like a bad example. I do some stupid stuff but no where nearly as stupid as him. He lies to a lot of people. I don’t want him calling me a cheap bastard or anything when he gets mad at me. Also like Skippy I hate when people talk behind other peoples back. That is one thing that pisses me off. I mean dude at least say things to their face.

Yes, I would like to have Holden as a friend. Yea, He is immature at some points but really who is an adult 24/7 ? Holden can also be well hearted and fun to be around .I think it depends on what your wanting in a friend in order to really know if you want to be a friend to Holden. He’s probably one of those people who are cool at fist to hang out with but after a while I think people might grow tired of him and want a break. Other wise, I would love to hear personally what holden thinks about the world now compared to what he knew it as.

Holden would make a good friend to those who are patient and selfless. Because he is so troubled, Holden would represent a challenge to anyone willing to take the time to get to know him. The person willing would undoubtedly have to go through a lot of abuse, and maybe even some back stabbing, before he could become close to Holden. Whoever decides to be Holden’s Friend, is going to have to accept that at least in the beginning, they personally would have to put up with a lot from Holden. I do think that in the end it would be a very rewarding relationship, Holden would be easy to talk to, and he doesn’t have many friends, but he is loyal, and usually content doing anything as long as he is with someone he really likes. Yes Holden would be a good friend, but only to someone who has their life in order and is willing to donate a lot of time and energy to him. In the end, it would be a long, hard road, but very rewarding.

I think that Holden would be a great friend. He would be a great friend to me because we are some what alike. Yes, I do have a Brother who died and yes i do have a little sister that I don’t want to grow up and of course I have a mouth on me as well. There was a certain part in my life where i didn’t want to change and i didn’t want to grow up. But then I got to high school and it was a totally different perspective. In high school you have to be grown to be noticed. That’s what most teenagers try to do is follow others to be known and those people that are leaders think that they are grown. Holden and I have a lot in common, we curse, had a brother pass away, and we don’t want our little sister to grow up.

I’ve never befriended a fictional character… How could I pass on such an opportunity?
