Chapter 11 - Holden's attitude towards Jane

Through chapter 11 all Holden seems to talk about is his memories and thoughts of Jane. The main memory he remembers is the time when he was close to 'necking' on with Jane which in modern day means that he was close to kissing Jane. He remembers sitting with her on the porch of her house playing a game of checkers then her mother's new 'fella' comes out and asks the young Jane for some cigarettes and this gets to Jane emotionally and she starts to cry so Holden feels as though he should be comforting her and gets close to kissing her on the mouth but only manages to kiss the other parts of her body. Jane refuses Holden from kissing her on the mouth and then gets up and goes and puts on a jumper that she needs and goes to the movies with Holden. Old Jane seems to come up into Holden's life quite a lot and it is as if he wants to make sure that he will never ever forget her as she is the closest that Holden has every got a girl and he wants to feel like that all over again but is unable to find another girl that is as good as Jane.
