Reveals about situation: Because of this sentimental quote, Holden reveals how he is in fact an emotional person; however, he does not like for his emotions to be made known. For example, he leaves the hall screaming, “Sleep tight you morons!” (p. 59). This reveals how he has a false face that he presents to the public. In other words, he presents himself to be careless in emotion when talking with others, but when he is by himself, he discusses how he is sad to leave and is crying about is departure, a fact that he would never reveal to the public.
