Childhood vs. Adulthood.

I think that Holden is very childish, mainly because he doesn't know what decisions he needs to make to be more grown up, and also because he always lies, and doesn't express his feelings very well. In this reading Holden tries to act more "Adultish" then he really is when he tries to get with the older woman, and when he tries to drink. Also Holden isn't "man" enough to just fess up to his parents that he failed out of school.
In my life i think that i am a mix between both of them, mainly because i have a lot of responsibilities and my mom pressures me to make sure that i make the right decisions, and most of the time i do. I want these responsibilities because it will make me more independent and will give me more freedoms.
examples of how i am an "adult" i got a job the day after i got my license..then i started paying my phone bill.
examples of how i am a "child" i got fired (seasonal) from my job, so now my mom has to pay it ):
