The Catcher in the Rye #6

New York City is an amazing place. I had the honor of visiting there this summer. It was so big and loud and just plain cool. The reason I am talking about New York is because the book, The Catcher in the Rye is set there. The main character Holden Caulfield was born and raised in New York. He knows where everything is and he is not afraid of it. When I went, my mom was terrified. I was not that bad. It was a little scary, but it was so cool. First off, the plane landing stripe was on top of the water. There was no room for it in the city, so it is on the outside on the water. It was cool looking out the window and seeing the skyline. We landed and got to our hotel. The hotel was huge!! It was also two blocks away from Times Square. We tried to get tickets to go see Wicked, but they were sold out. We went to Mama Mia instead. It was very good. When the play was over it was dark outside. New York City is a scary place to be when it is dark outside. Since we were by Times Square, there was a lot of cops. I do not understand how Holden was confident and so was his little sister to walk around alone. The next day we did the double decker bus tour. We got to look at all the big skyscrapers and everything. We got off and went to see the Sattue of Liberty. She is huge. We waited in line for about and hour to get on a huge ferry to take us there. We walked around and hung out. Then we toke the boat to Ellis Island. We did not get off, but it was a cool place to see. We did a lot of site seeing that day. One day we went to Central Park. We did not spend to much time there because it is so big and we thought that we would get lost if we did. Holden said that he knew Central Park like the back of his hand. He must have been in there a lot. I loved New York and I was sad to leave. I am glad I live where I live it is so peaceful and quiet, but I would like to live in New York for a little while.
