Many vignette

In chapter 16, Holden has a scene where he is talking about an old museum that he went to when he was younger. The part that stuck out to me was the way Holden was talking, I had never seen him say so many positive things that weren't followed by a negative comment right after. Even the ones that were pretty negative ended up being followed by a positive. Holden is not typically a very positive guy and as the book has gone on he has seemed to get worse but on page 120 of Catcher and the Rye "It smelled like it was raining outside, even when it wasn't, and you were in the only nice, dry, cozy place in the world. I loved that ---- museum." right here you see that Holden really does have a nice positive memory of this place, he tells you why and lets the positive out weigh the negative and that was just very unlike him.
