Describing Holden

The quote describes Holden because its saying its better to have died knowing that you lived the way you wanted and that's how Holden lives, the way he wants to.  I was listing to my music and think of songs that could possibly describe Holden when I cam across some.  The first song is called Have a drink on me by AC/DC I think this song applies to Holden because even though he is under aged he still drinks.  In the book he even says he went to Ernie's and had scotch sodas.  Another song I found was Same Old Song and Dance by Aerosmith.  I thought this song applied to Holden because he doesn't really change out of all the chapters we've read he always acts the same way.  The next song was It's My Life by Bon Jovi.  Holden acts the same way through out what we've read and he acts different from other people he wants to live his own life the way he wants to.  The last song I chose a couple of lines from the song is Turn The Page by Bob Seager Remixed by Metallica.  Well you walk into a restaurant, Strung out from the road. And you feel the eyes upon you As you're shakin' off the cold. You pretend it doesn't bother you, But you just want to explode.  A little bit later in the song it says,  And you always seem outnumbered, You don't dare make a stand.  I thought the first line connected to the chapter where Holden was at Ernie's and the second line fit more with when Holden was hit by Stradlatter, and again in chapter 14 when Maurice and Sunny came to his hotel room.
