my guess is because she is Different than the others. but then i am reminded of "good old sunny" and how she has no innocence left and how that depressed the hell out of him. so maybe not. : Throughout the book Holden seems only to be attracted or drawn to women that were, or were as he remembered, vulnerable and weak. Phoebe is still a child, for example, and Jane (as Holden remembers her) is weak and innocent. But why does Sally Hayes appeal to Holden if she's concerned with being beautiful and popular? Her values are just what Holden is normally repelled by. Why is Holden sometimes attracted to her? please E-MAIL me the answer
