Chapter 9 by Raivyn Brown At Penn Station, Holden wants to call someone but cannot think of anyone to call—his brother, D. B., is in Hollywood; his sister, Phoebe, is young and probably asleep; he doesn’t feel like calling Jane Gallagher; and another girl, Sally Hayes, has a mother who hates him. So, Holden takes a cab to the Edmont Hotel. He tries to make conversation with the driver, asking him where the ducks in the Central Park lagoon go in the winter, but the driver is uninterested. In his room at the Edmont, he looks out across the hotel courtyard into the lighted windows on the other side and discovers a variety of bizarre acts taking place. One man dresses in women’s clothing, and in another room a man and a woman take turns spitting mouthfuls of their drinks into each other’s face. Holden begins to feel aroused, so he calls Faith Cavendish, a promiscuous girl recommended to him by a boy he met at a party, and tries to make a date with her. She refuses, claiming she needs her beauty sleep. She offers to meet him the next day, but he doesn’t want to wait that long, and he hangs up without arranging to meet her.

Analysis: In this chapter we learn more about Holden's view of women and sex. He mentions that he likes the idea of the "crumby" stuff, but he feels that it is disrespectful to girls. Holden's personality is largely impacted by his failures and feelings toward women.

Shihab P. =__**Summary**__= In this chapter, Holden is very observative of his surroundings, especially when looking out his window. He also mentions the ducks again, and the driver has no answer for him. To me, this symbolizes the lack of understanding from the adults in the novel of Holden, and seems to be pushing him away rather than trying to help him.
 * Upon arriving at Penn Station, and ponders about the people who he can call. He ultimately decides to not call any of them, and just calls a cab.
 * Holden tries to converse with the driver, and asks about ducks. The driver is uninterested.
 * Once he arrives at the hotel, he checks in and finds out that the room he has is lousy. He then looks out his window, and observes all the weird things on different hotel rooms.
