Chapter 25- Why do you think Holden decides not to run away.

I think Holden decided not to run away anymore because of Phoebe wanting to go with him. When Holden seen how it was really effecting her he changed his mind and decided to stay and go home. Holden i guess finally came to his senses that running wasn't going to do anything but hurt Phoebe especially since she wanted to go with him.

Chapter 24- Explain why Holden suddenly leaves Mr.Antolini's house and is Mr.Antolini's behavior inappropriate? Explain

Holden suddenly leaves Mr.Antolini's house because when Holden woke up and found Mr.A patting his head it made Holden feel beyond uncomfortable and he started thinking that Mr.A was a pervert. Holden was very embarrassed by Mr. A's actions and it made him nervous. No i don't think Mr.A's behavior was inappropriate i don't think he meant any harm by what he was doing, but since Holden is such a immature boy of course he took it the wrong way.

Chapter 23 - At the end of this chapter, why is it that Holden no longer cares if his parents find him at home?

Holden no longer cares if his parents find him at home because he didn't want to leave after chewing the fat with Phoebe. He wanted them to catch him so that way he could stay and although his parents would have been mad that he got kicked out of Pencey, he would at least be home now.

Chapter 20-22 - Explain what Holden may mean when he describes his sister as "quite affectionate" for a child.

What i believe Holden means when he says that Phoebe is "quite affectionate" for a child is that normally children don't show a lot of affection to others because they are unsure of how to or just don't want to, but Phoebe is different when she seen Holden she was very happy and hugged him. Phoebe shows affection like other children really don't.
