I'm someone that wants to be exposed to the world and people without showing too much of myself. I always avoid the opportunity to show my true self. However, the ironic thing about me is that I don't even know my true self yet. Not only do I avoid opportunities, I also avoid myself. I'm someone that closes and seals like a vault when a door opens. In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, I relate to the ducks and the fish in the lagoon that Holden questions about during the winter. My similarity to the ducks and fish are because of the ducks and fish's symbolism. The ducks fly away from the lagoon during the winter while the fish stay under the water. Similarly to the ducks, I want to escape my environment and problems. Unfortunately, I end up getting stuck and staying in my environment.
