One powerful moment in chapters 15 and 16 was when Holden went to the playground. He went there because he couldn’t stop thinking about Phoebe. What was most powerful about it was the amount of negative words he used in the first half of the vignette. Phrases like, “It made you depressed” and “Dog crap and globs of spit and cigar butts from old men” emphasized the negative connotation. Once he got some information about where Phoebe, the connotation changed. This symbolizes how much Phoebe to him. It shows how much one person could change his view of a place.
