This all happened when I went on a trip to Boston, Massachusetts with my dad for his birthday. This experience started in Spotsylvania,Virginia where we were giving my dad…

Holden is always proud that he is different from everybody around him, and he sees that hat as a part of his independence. He likes to think that he…
