Holden Caulfield is a sixteen year old junior. He also likes to smoke and drink. He smokes about a pack of cigerettes a day. This is horrible. It is because he is killing himself and he does not even know it. During this time period, nobody knew the problems that smoking could cause. They might have, but they ignored them anyway. They could probably feel that their throwt was all scratchy. Once Holden was dancing with his little sister, Phoebe, and they danced about three dances and he was out of breathe while she was not even breathing hard. He is destroying his lungs and he is ignorings it. This time there is no education against smoking. There is no scientic proof that smoking causes cancer and sstuff. There was a point when Holden was sitting on a bench reading a magazine and it said that if you have a sore in your mouth for a long period of time you have cancer. He said that he had a sore that had been there for two weeks ane he thinks he has cancer. His little breother, Allie, died of cancer. He had lleukimia. I do not think that Holden had cancer, but he should have been more cautious and stopped smoking.
Holden also liked to drink. He knew place that he could go and they would not card him. He also had grey hair and was very tall. he liked to use this as an advantage. His favorite drink was vodka and soda. He ordered that mostly everywhere he went. He also said he is a heavy weight. He could sit there all night a keep putting down beers and not feel a thing. One night he was bored and lonely and he got drunk and went to walk in Central Park. Drinking is one stupid thing to do. It is because you do not really have control of what you do. I think it is a stupid thing to drink especially at his age because he is only sixteen and it can harm his growing process. Teenagers do it all the time without thinking of the consequences. This is a horrible thing because drinking causes more problems than it solves.
