Chapter 10 phoebe
I was reading last night and phoebe at the beginning of chapter 10 really sticks out to me but I can't puty finger on it... Anyone else have thoughts? Just that both of Holden's siblings have red hair, and have their "roles" in the family seems significant to me. Then phoebe only writes about one character again and again. Also the relation of written word between the children, phoebe writes stories, the brother who died(name is escaping me) wrote poems, and Holden seems proficient at English because his only subject he's not failing is English plus his story. I'm just struggling to pinpoint the significance but I feel there is one, anyone have ideas??

The significance of his siblings is that he idolizes them for being very smart, and values Phoebe because "she always knows what the hell your talking about" (67), she has an understanding for Holden that at this point in the story no one else does. Not being able to talk to her at this point puts Holden in an even worse place than earlier. Those are my thoughts on it.
