In the future

I've noticed that Holden is a very unstable character. He mentions his brother's death in chapter 5. I think this event has and will affect Holden greatly. His unsteady emotional state seems to impact the way Holden looks at life. I think Holden is going to end up lonely without anyone by his side because he is so pessimistic and unstable. Even the way he interacts with others, I can definitely tell that he's not someone who is happy. I think people he encounters later in the book will find him very uncomfortable to be around because of the way he talks and the way he criticizes everyone.
