My Thoughts on Holden

Holden seems to be like a typical teenager today. He sounds like he has a lot of potential but does not use it. He even said he doesn't apply himself in school which makes me think he's just holding back. I like that Holden is relatable to me and other kids today. Teenagers like to rebel and when they screw something up they try and act like nothing happened. I think I empathize with Holden because if I'm working on something I'm not interested in I'm not going to as good of a job as I would if I was interested. It seems as if Holden is really smart but since he isn't interested he doesn't care and doesn't do his best.
