Ch 11 taylor wooley


 * Back in the lobby, Holden starts thinking about Jane Gallagher sitting in Ed Banky's car with Stradlater.
 * He never hooked up with Jane himself, but they did hang out a lot.
 * The met when Holden's mother called up her family to complain that their dog kept peeing on their lawn. A few days later, when Holden tried to say hello to Jane.
 * After he convinced her that he personally didn't care where the dog relieved itself, they ended up going golfing together.
 * Then he gets into a nice long description about this girl. She's not exactly beautiful, he says, but she really knocks him out, especially the way her mouth moves when she talks. She's the only person to whom he's ever shown Allie's baseball mitt.
 * Holden's mother doesn't like Jane, probably because she doesn't like her mom.
 * OK, so there was this one afternoon where he and Jane almost hooked up. It was a rainy Saturday and they were playing checkers on her porch. Her drunk stepfather came out and asked Jane if there were any cigarettes. She refused to look up or answer, even when he asked repeatedly.
 * After he went back into the house, Jane started crying. Holden moved over so sit right next to her and started kissing her everywhere—her nose, eyes, ears—everywhere except her mouth.
 * They ended up going out for a movie, and Holden asked if the stepfather had ever tried anything with her.
 * But she says no, and he's never really figured out what the deal was.
 * They just held hands. Jane is an excellent hand-holder.
 * Which reminds him of this time in the movie theater. Jane reached over and put her hand on the back of his neck. It's something you always see older people do, Holden remarks, like a mother to her husband or her kid or something, but when a girl Jane's age does it
 * the lobby is getting depressing, so he decides to head to Greenwich Village, where D.B. used to take him once in a while to listen to this guy Ernie play the piano.

Chapter 11 Notes : Ellen Park

Holden leaves the Lavender room and sits down in the lobby and immediately starts thinking about Jane Gallagher. He starts having flashbacks about her and when they first met. He talks about how they became really close friends after they cleared up the misunderstanding about her dog and his mother. Holden's mother would get very irritated when Jane's dog would relieve itself on Holden's lawn and Jane thought that he also was irritated by it. Once Holden convinced her that he didn't care whether her dog peed on his lawn or not, they started becoming friends that summer. He mentions that Jane is the only one whom he had become close enough to tell about Allie's baseball glove. Then he remembered how they always played checkers together and how she would always keep her kings in the back. Then he recalled a time when Jane started to cry while they were playing after her step dad came out. He comforted her by holding her and kissing her everywhere, but she didn't let him kiss her on the lips and mentions how that was the closest he was to necking with her. He thinks about her until the lobby is almost empty and he starts to get depressed and goes to his room. He doesn't feel lke staying in his room so he decides to go to Ernie's a nightclub that his brother would take him.

Important Quotations: “She was the only one, outside my family, that I ever showed Allie’s baseball mitt to, with all the poems written on it” (87).

This quote shows how important Jane is to Holden. That baseball mitt is one of the only things he has to remember his brother and it is very special and sentimental to him. The fact that he would show into another person outside his family, is important when characterizing hi and Janes relationship
