In the novel The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, Holden demonstrates how dependent he is on Phoebe. Growing up, Holden was always alone, kicked out of schools, had no one to talk to. However, over the course of the book he realizes how much Phoebe cares for him and that it's not just because he has her. Holden depends on Phoebe because she loves and cares for him, which he doesn't see anyone else doing. Throughout his life, Holden has pushed people away and judged them; however, he is very affectionate towards Phoebe. In the novel Holden says, "You've never seen such a cute, smart little boy in your whole life" (67). Throughout the book, Holden always finds faults in people, but Phoebe is the only person who doesn't judge. Holden loves his sister and shows it by describing her as a beautiful and intelligent person. He likes to do things that make Phoebe happy: "They made me pay five dollars because it was so hard to get, but I didn't care. Boy, it suddenly made me so happy" (116). After being in New York City, Holden didn't have much money, either...
