If I was Holden and I had just been kicked out of school, I would probably end up going back home, or to one of my relatives houses. At this point in time, I wouldn't have enough money to stay at a hotel, and I would have enough money to buy my own food and drinks. If I was a little older though and had a job, I might stay in a hotel for a few days.
The character Jane in the book is obviously very important to Holden. I think the reason for this is that she is the only girl that he has actually had a real relationship with. As a child I am guessing that she was the only person that Holden has consistently spent time with that wasn't in his family. Holden hates to imagine that the one person that Holden was friends with as a child is now with Stadlater.
I think that what Holden said about how people are always ruining things for you is very true. I can remember numerous times when people have thrown away very important papers on accident.

The Catcher in the Rye: 1-7
I just finished reading to chapter 7 of the Catcher in the Rye and I liked it a lot. I thing that it was much better and easier to read than the Odessey. The story seemed to flow along better, and instead of describing a day in a paragraph it described 1 day in about 50 pages.
I think it is very good to be unique, it means that you are unique, unlike anyone else and nobody can ever take that away from you. In the book Holden Caufeild is very unique, he has already failed out of 4 schools. Even though that may not be very good, it still makes him unique.
In an adult world everyone really seems to keep individuality. Even though there might be thousands of adults working the same hours, at the same job, every day, every adult is still different. When adults do get a break, some like to stay at home and read, or hang with friends, the same kind of thing that they would have done as a kid.
I do not actually have a specific favorite person but if I did it would be someone that was different than everyone else. They would be unique, just like Allie's character is. Even though he may be flunking at school he is still good at heart and has a unique personality than anyone else, just like my favorite person would be.
