cannot see the world as it is, or even he is no capable of accepting people as they are, with their good and bad things. This teenager is always depressed, sad or even suicidal imagining his own death. As he cannot feel himself as a part of the society he lives in, he is constantly running away. He is unfit to adapt to every place he goes to. He has been expelled from several schools, he is not capable of bearing his own family and of course even his schools mates lack a sense of being in his mind as they are all phonies. Through the eyes of Holden it is possible to see how the passage from one stage to the other represents a world of changes for some people, where the search for identity and the acceptance of the loss of innocence are the constant quests and the final destinations they need to reach in order to be able to conform a part of the society they live in. It is this transition time where it is vital to accept that although childhood might be a good memory it will be eventually left behind and will become an important constituent to move forward and became what in the future will be a person capable of adapting to life and overcome situations that will lead to the final pursuit for personal happiness and to the discovery of the own identity.
