A vacuum in physics is described as a space completely empty of matter. Much like in physics, it’s completely possible for a void to be completely empty in one’s life. What people do with free space is fill it up with objects or other things of value. No one enjoys empty spaces in their lives and are immediately filled.

He hates these phonies because they are constantly telling him to grow up. So, therefore, in J.D. Salinger 's The Catcher in the Rye, Holden uses alienation to elucidate his character and his…
