Throughout the game, Rye Receiver Holden puts himself in very stressful situations. His personality type puts him in these situations. Holden has trouble making friends because he thinks almost everyone is fake. The pressure of not having friends and being able to feel comfortable in a school forced him to drop out: "One of the main reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by fakes. That's all... For example, they had this manager, Mr. Haas, who was the most phony bastard I've ever met in my life" (Salinger 13), this not only forced him to leave school but also to take to the streets. The song "Under Pressure" by Queen fits perfectly with the theme that Holden's pressure on himself pushed him to the edge of sanity. In the song, one of the recurring lines is "put people in the street" (Queen), referring to pressure. This song relates perfectly to this theme. The best way to describe Holden is a basket case, he exaggerates almost everything and is somewhat paranoid when it comes to what happened to Stradlater and Jane. These and the fact that he tells his story from a mental hospital lead me to believe that he is crazy. Green Day's "Basket Case" fits Holden's personality type, including lyrics about being "melodramatic", meaning overly dramatic. The song also predicts that the songwriter tried to solve his problems by saying "I went to a shrink...I went to a whore" (Green Day), which Holden tried to use to solve his problems. Holden tried not to accept that he was crazy and didn't like going to a shrink or a prostitute, but when he got really depressed, he broke down: "It was against my principles and all , but I felt so depressed that I didn't even think about it. . That's it... middle of paper... with their "loved ones". After Holden was kicked out of school, he had two options: return home or go live in town alone. He chose the city where he would face loneliness and the constant reminder of home, which began in the stages of preparing for his departure. While he was packing, he was quite sad: “I would see my mother walk into Spaulding's and ask the salesman a million stupid questions [sic] – and there I was getting the ax again. It made me quite sad” (Salinger), this is one of the problems with choosing to live alone rather than return home. Green Day's "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" represents the long, lonely nights he must face alone. In the song, the lyrics: "I'm walking a lonely road, the only one I've ever known...I'm walking along", (Green Day), illustrating what Holden does, persevere, through the difficult path of depression and loneliness.
