symbolism to show some kind of quality about Holden. So far, there are three things that truly symbolize Holden. His red hunting hat, the ducks in Central Park, and Allie’s baseball mitt. Each one of these objects are important to him one way or another. His red hat could be used as a shield, to hide himself or protect himself.
