In a funny way, though, I felt sorry for him when he was finished. I don't think he knows any more when he's playing right or not. It isn't his fault I partly blame all those dopes that clap their heads off- they'd foul up anyone, if you gave them a chance.
Analysis: Holden Caulfield hates phonies and is very self conscious. When he wonders if Ernie knows if he is good or bad at piano it could remind him of himself not knowing whether he is doing right or wrong in his life.
Analysis: Holden talks a big game but would never actually confront the person who stole his gloves. This shows how whenever he thinks of a scenario in his head he changes his physical looks which could mean he doesn't like his real life looks.
For instance if I'd found out out at Pencey who'd stolen my gloves, I probably would've gone to the crook's room and said, 'Okay. How 'bout handing over those gloves?'
About halfway to the bathroom, I sort of started pretending I had a bullet in my guts. Old Maurice had plugged me.
Analysis: Holden is an unreliable narrator who is very imaginative. He struggles in his actual reality so he creates false scenarios that spark interest for him.
