song comparrison

the song "Second Chance" by Shine Down relates to Holden in many different ways. the lyrics "tell my mother, tell my father, ive done the best i can, to make them relize this is my life, i hope they understand" can relate to Holden and why he doesnt want to go home in the chapters 19-21, even though he finally does. He knows his parents wont accept his life choices so he doesnt want to have to face them. the Lyrics "im not angry, im just sayin....sometimes goodbye means a second chance" can relate to Holden when he tries to convince sally to run off to massachusettes or Vermont with him. he thinks that he could turn his life around and get a second change in his life. this song can relate to Holden's outgoiningness with the lyrics "please dont cry one tear for me, im not afraid of what i have to say". Holden doesnt care what us, as readers think of him. he will say and do as he wants it seems. he may care what some people in the book cared about him but he doesnt seem like he minds what we as readers think of his thoughts and just wants to get his opinions out to us. Holden isnt afraid of what he has to say to us because he doesnt care what we think about him in my opinion
