Monologue of Holden

                            By: Amanda 

 

-People always want to know about you and your life, when I don’t even thinks it’s any of their business.  I think all people are phonies and I am sick of everyone.  The boys at school think they are all real cool, especially Strandler, because he can get girls he doesn’t even like into bed with him.  My neighbor Ackley always bursts in my room uninvited and is kind of nasty and pimply.  My ex-girlfriend Sally is really good looking.  Sometimes I love her and other times I hate he guts.  I don’t think she would ever have sex with me, though I don’t know if I would either, she is sort of a phony too.

My school now is called Pencey Prep.  I hate it their, it is the phoniest sonofabitch school I have ever seen.  I got kicked out the other week because I am failing 4 out of 5 classes.  Not English though, it is my easiest class.  My parents still don’t know I was kicked out yet; only my sister Phoebe knows.  My brother Allie would, but he died from leukemia.  We all really miss him.  But I don’t want to talk about it.  I hate when people ask me about him, sonofabitches didn’t even know Allie.

          I am planning on running away and building a house and all.  I asked Sally to come with me but she turned me down. I hate her.  I am going to build me a nice house and get a good steady job.  Life will be great out there.  Maybe when I get enough money to have a nice house and all I will have Phoebe come and visit me.  I know I will be ok on my own.  I will be happier without all those damn phonies around.  The more I talk about them though, the more I think I just might miss them all.
