schizophrenia?? where do you see that in the book?? holden a schizophrenic?? i haven't read the book in a long time... but i seriously don't remember reading anywhere in catcher in the rye that holden is schizoprenic, or would make him seem to be.... ~marisa In a message dated 98-06-30 22:03:37 EDT, you write: << Half of Holden's head is covered with gray hairs, while the other side is fine. I always took this to mean that he is split between growing up and staying young. But isn't "split-brained" another term for schizophrenia, or do I just have a confused memory of my psych textbook from high school? Maybe I'm just reading way too much into this. Cheryl >>
