Qualities of Holden

In chapter 8-11 we see Holden and all his feelings and personalities. Some were negative and some were positive, we see Holden be very flirtatious with Ernest's mom on the train but in his head he says that she wasn't too cute but her personality was good. This shows me Holden is somewhat a good person because although he judges from the outside he also takes into account her looks on the inside. Holden also talks a lot but during his conversations he lies and is sarcastic and it's misleading when he does that. And that is a negative trait of Holden another one is he has no plan I feel like. He wanders around the city and doesn't really care where he ends up, I also feel like he is very rude to people, when we read the book he compliments them but then we see him point out there flaws. Although Holden has some negative traits he still is smart and has a good memory like when he remembers the janitors name and the personality of Ernest, plus even though he says mean things he doesn't front he's truthful and you know what they say... the truth hurts. This is why I feel like, I like Holden because he is a real person.
