I also completely agree with Johanna. Although i hate the book "the catcher in the rye", he is alot like holden in all of his weird adventures. The book is also moving at a ridiculous pace, meeting new people and places in jsut a matter of pages.

Also, i thought it was really weird how Sal ended up working in the cotton fields. From what i've ready, he's definately more of a partier than hard laborer, and the fact that he put in that time and effort seemed a bit out of character. it was also really surprising that he enjoyed being part of that family-type again, the idea of being a father and a husband and a brother. He jsut seemed more like himself when he started hitchhiking, once again.
