The Catcher in the Rye: Chapter 4

Chapter 4
Page 34 paragraph 10
Quote:
"I kept thinking about Jane, and about Stradlater having a date with her and all. It made me so nervous I nearly went crazy. I already told you what a sexy bastard Stradlater was."

Holden is growing up, or his body is trying to, but his mind isn't moving as fast. He is starting to have the feelings for girls like all guys do, but a little later, and he doesn't seem to know why he's nervous. All guys feel this way about certain girls, but usually earlier on in life, and they know why and they go for it like Stradlater, but Holden doesn't seem to know that. Does he know what most guys like Stradlater would do in a car? Maybe, but we may never know.
