Question

Describe as specifically as possible, Holden’s plan to run away with Sally. Where will they go, what will they do, etc…..

Answer 1

This question refers to Chapter 17 of The Catcher in the Rye. In this story, Holden and Sally are a couple. However, it is clear that, although they share some sort of bond, the two are not deeply in love, and at times, do not even like each other. Nevertheless, Holden is eager to do something to change his life, and decides to ask Sally to run away with him.

Sally does not entertain this notion at all. However, she still listens to Holden's plan. He wants the two of them to run away immediately. He tells Sally that he has saved $180, and that, with that money, they can stay in the cabin camps for a while. Afterwards, he might get a job, they might get a house with a brook, or they might get married.

The plans are never particularly clear, and in the end, they do not amount to any concrete action.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to chapter 17 of the book "The catcher in the rye" Holden and Sally share a relationship between them in which there isn't really much of affection coming from Sally side. Holden takes Sally Hayes out on a date, they both decide to go skating at Radio city. After skating for a short period of time they proceeded to the bar to have some drinks.
