Just Need Some One To Talk To

Once again Holden is out and about. He is waiting on his friend Luce. Today he is at a well known bar named the Wicker Bar. A lady who plays the piano terribly, her partner who whispers the same small paragraph before they start their performance, and a stuck up bartender who only talks to the "rich and famous". This bar sounds like a depressing place where single and maybe even married men come spend their lonely evenings to get drunk. Well that seems to be Holden's crowd. When Luce finally shows up, Holden describes Luce as a very sexual man, yet every single time Holden brings up the subject of sex Luce says to grow up, and he changes the subject.  Also Luce seems like a man who likes to get into peoples business. When Holden tells us that Luce knows rather a person is a flit or a lesbian just by looking at the person. Holden ask Luce a lot of questions, I think again Holden is just feeling lonely, and he's trying to spark up a conversation. What Holden is looking for, and needs is a friend who he can talk to and spill everything that is bothering him so he won't hold it in. Like what Mrs. Flemming said in class sometimes everybody needs to cry, but Holden has not bonded with anybody who he feels comfortable cry with. By the way Luce keeps giving short answers he does not want to have a conversation at the moment. Or he is not much of a conversationalist at all. Towards the end of the chapter Holden offers Luce to have one last drink, but Luce says no and claims he is late for something. Holden is always leaning on an alcoholic drink when you he lonesome or bored. Would you consider Holden a slight alcoholic?
