In Catcher in the Rye, what connections to people and places has Holden experienced that strengthen his sense of belonging?

Holden connects mainly to childlike people (Phoebe, Allie,
Jane) and places (museums, zoo, carousel) and to things that remain the same (unchanged
by time):

1. Things Frozen in
   Time
   1. Allie: died of T.B.
   
   
   2. Holden has
      “survivor’s guilt” (feels he should have died
      instead)
   
   
   3. Allie’s grave (doesn’t like visiting because of
      the rain)
   
   
   4. Museum of Art: never changes
      
   
   
   5. Eskimo is mummified
      forever
   
   
   6. Frozen pond in Central Park
      
   
   
   7. Fish trapped
      underneath
   
   
   8. Ducks forced to be moved
      elsewhere
   
   
   9. The carousel (goes round and
      round)
   
   
   10. The zoo (animals
       trapped)
   
   


2. Child-like
   Things
   1. Jane keeping her kings in the back row (checkers); Kisses Jane
      all over face, but NOT on the lips
   
   
   2. “Catcher in the Rye”:
      rescue kids from falling
   
   
   3. Elmer Fudd-like hunting hat; red
      like Allie’s bright red hair
   
   
   4. Allie’s glove with the poems
      written all over
   
   
   5. “Little Shirley Beans” – record he buys
      Phoebe
   
   
   6. Carrousel – Holden watches it go round and round
      (never progresses)
   
   
   7. Ducks in the lagoon: wants someone to
      rescue
      them
   
   

All of
these people and places show that Holden once connected to the world (when he was a
child, before Allie's death).  Since then, as a teenager, he is disconnected because of
a loss of innocence and phony materialism and hypocrisy.
