language of Holden

own opinion

"Holden a jerk or an average teenager?"

average teenager: - rebellious & depressed - a lot of problems a jerk: - very pesimistic - isolates himself from the society --> his rude language and his disrespectful mindset towards others

Nevertheless we think, that every person has experienced or will experience a situation with an own negative mindset and a very questionable language and attitude.
