In addition to providing a comic interlude, what seems to be the point of the scene with the cab driver, Horwitz? How do Holden and Horwitz differ, both in their conversation and as characters? Provide textual support for your answer. Their conversation can be found on pages 81-83. [posted 11.12.09, 4 points]
The point of the scene with Horwitz was to show how different Holden is compared to a regular civilian. Horwitz thinks Holden is crazy. Horwitz does not really have a personality, he is only serious in this seen. As explained by, "I stopped having a conversation with him, if he was going to get so damn touchy about it" (82). Holden in this scene is sort of trying to be friendly and all he wants to do is just talk.
