Holden goes to Central Park in New York City, and sits by the frozen pond where, in the Spring, the ducks would be swimming. He is despondent, having left the hotel because of his confrontation with Maurice. He sits there thinking that he could get pneumonia and die.

He starts to think about his death and his funeral, who would attend, then he remembers that his mother is still mourning the loss of her son, Allie. The thought of his sister Phoebe being sad at his death is what stops Holden from staying in the park and freezing to death.

It is his love for his sister that keeps Holden from committing suicide

What should be a topic sentence for building a snowman?

ipn [44]

A topic sentence presents the main gist of the whole paragraph or article. So, if you want to talk about building a snowman, your topic sentence could be about why building snowmans are of relevance. Then, your supporting details could now include steps or advices on how to build it.

A good topic sentence I could think of is:

<em>During the yuletide season, building a snowman is a good activity to do with family and friends because it promotes team-building and fun interaction.</em>
