When Holden leaves Pencey Prep, he has a series of experiences that reveal his conflicted feelings about growing up. He lies about knowing another student well to try to make friends, showing he wants relationships but finds it difficult. He also meets girls at a bar and on the train, attempting to understand sexuality and adulthood but lacking experience. Alone, his thoughts often return to Jane, highlighting how the innocent people in his life influence him. While Holden desires adulthood, he remains reluctant to fully grow up and leave behind his view of purity and innocence in others.

The research literature indicates an association between the development of suicidal behaviours of young people and parental suicide behaviours. However, we lack empirical data on what children and adolescents know about their parent's suicidal behaviours and how they cope with the stress of living in a family where a parent has attempted suicide and may be at risk of attempting. We present the results of a qualitative exploratory study to understand what young adolescents know about the suicidality of a suicidal parent, what they thought and felt about it and how they coped with the situation. We conducted semi-structured interviews with eight adolescents between 12 and 15 years old living in a family where a parent had attempted suicide in the past 3 years, in order to obtain information on the perception of the adolescents themselves. In most cases we did not know if they knew or what they knew about their parent being suicidal. A significant number of the adolescents knew or suspected that their parent was suicidal. They used coping strategies like talking to their best friend or listening to music, but were inclined not to confide in adults and not to bring up the subject in the family. All the parents had contacted a community crisis centre for help, the adolescents were generally not offered any support . Support was generally only provided to the suicidal parent who contacted the crisis centre and to other adults involved in the intervention. Support should also be systematically offered proactively to the children and adolescents when their parent has suicidal behaviours in order to help them find efficient strategies to cope with the stresses associated with living with a suicidal parent. Specific approaches to helping children learn to cope better will be presented and discussed.

2. Allie, Phoebe and Jane all symbolize the picture of innocents and purity. To Holden, once you grow up and start to deal with money and sexuality, that is when one becomes immoral and not innocent anymore. This shows that he is confused about the many aspects of growing up, and becoming mature
3. Allie, Holden’s younger brother, has a big place in Holden’s heart Holden practically idolizes him. “You’ have liked him. He was two years younger than I was, but about fifty times as intelligent.” Holden talks about Allie with absolute fondness, showing his love for Allie. Having died young, Allie holds up the image in Holden’s mind as “Innocent” and young, unable to grow old and change.
4. Phoebe, Holden’s sister, makes him face reality, like Allie Holden talks about her with absolute fondness too. She acts her age but talks in a mature way, this may be the reason Holden likes her so much. She may be young and “Innocent” but she is very adult like, and that is what Holden wants, to grow up and not become immoral and not innocent.
5. Jane, Holden’s neighbor, has a very intimate relationship with Holden. When Stradlater went out with Jane, it made him mad because, he knew her so well and didn’t want her to go out with somebody that she didn’t know so well. Also, Holden suspects that Jane has had something to do with her step-father, from the encounter with him when Jane and Holden were playing checkers.” Old Jane wouldn’t’ answer him (step dad)…Finally he went inside the house…Then all of a sudden, this tear plopped down by the checker board.” It shows that Jane and her step-dad have something going on between them, and it isn’t good. Having said that, it makes Holden want to protect her more, as he knows her really well, and wants to keep her innocent and pure.
6. All these character hold the image of innocent and what Holden wants to be, even though he is stuck between growing up and staying innocent.
7. Summarize Holden’s experiences after he leaves Pencey Prep. Don’t just list these experiences. Summarize what kinds of experiences they are and the effect they have on Holden. How does he respond to them? (What does he try to do? Is he successful? Why or why not?) When Holden leaves Pencey Prep, he starts a road to growing up. When he is in the train and he lies to Ernest Morrow’s mom, Holden says many nice things about Ernest Morrow, like class elections and how Ernest Morrow was very popular. This shows that Holden wants to make friends and form deep relationships with other people, instead of having to move on from school to school and not having the time to form relationships with other students. It reveals that the things that Holden desires, brings him into conflict. <br />Holden also meets girls along the way, after he leaves Pencey Prep, e.g. Sunny, the 3 girls in the Lavender bar etc. As Holden thinks of growing up as sexuality and becoming immoral, it shows that he wants to try and see what it feels like, have a taste of adulthood. As Holden doesn’t have many encounters with the opposite gender, he lacks experience thus lacking in the skills to communicate and understanding the way to act.<br />When Holden is alone, he usually things and reflects on his actions, and commonly thinks about other people, Jane in particular. “All of a sudden on my way out to the lobby, I got old Jane in my brain again. I got her on, and I couldn’t get her off” This show s that Jane plays a big part in Holden’s life, just like Allie and Phoebe, and this is significant because it helps him make the decisions that he makes, it affect his thinking and his attitude to others.<br />Overall, once Holden left Pencey Prep, he went to find the way to grow up, and experience other things out in the world, event though he was reluctant to do it, and leave behind the image of innocence and purity. He still wanted to grow up and become an adult, this show his determination not only to grow up but also to have a part of him that was innocent and pure. That is why he lies about his age; he wants others to treat him like an adult. All of these events show his confuse to growing up, and it also show the little steps he is taking to adulthood, maturing and becoming a full grown up.<br />
