3. Help!- This song perfectly describes Holden’s situation throughout most of the book. It also can relate to how he feels at the end, where he literally gets help.
“Help! I need somebody, Help!”
Throughout the book Holden was seeking companionship, but most of the time he got turned down. His inability to make connections was one of the reasons he was so depressed.
“When I was younger so much younger than today
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.”
Holden’s problems started when Allie died, before that he was not such a troubled child. After Allie’s death, Holden had difficulty dealing with moving on, and that we what triggered all of his problems throughout the book.
