Blog 9: Holden's Internal Conflicts

In a well-constructed paragraph, answer the following questions in your OWN blog:

-What two health issues does Holden pretend he has in Chapter 20? [Check out pages 150 and 156 if you are unsure.]

-Why do you believe that our main character behaves this way? Support your opinion with a quotation from the text. [4 Points, Posted by 11.20.09]

The two health issues where he thought that he got shot in the gut. The other one was that she was shivering a lot. Well he first behaves this way because he is drunk, and also he is hurt emotionally. He feels he has nothing in his life, and might as well die. "Boy, I was shivering like a bastard, and the back of my hair, even though I had my hunting hat on, was sort of like little hunks of ice." (154).
