Catcher in the Rye 2

The vingette that I chose was the scene where Holden sees the nuns with the cheap suitcases. This scene also causes him to have a flashback to when his old roommate was jealous of Holden's expensive suitcases. Holden goes on and on about how he doesn’t like cheap suitcases and how he immediately judges people for having cheap suitcases. Holden tends to make snap judgments about people without thinking about it, but later in the passage when he actually speaks to them, he realizes that they aren’t that bad. This realization also occurs when Holden stops talking about his roommate’s suitcases and more about his personality. This is an interesting side of Holden that we haven’t seen yet in where he makes a snap judgment but then further explores his relationship with that person.
