To anyone who has read Catcher In The Rye, can someone PLEASE tell me what the foreshadowing that’s going on in Chapter 23. I need this for a project but I can’t find what it is.

Answer: :D

Step-by-step explanation:

When his mother has left the room, Holden asks Phoebe for some money. She gives him the money she is supposed to use to buy Christmas presents. As he takes the money, he starts to cry. The crying scares Phoebe, but he can't stop. He tells Phoebe goodbye and gives her his hunting hat.

Holden seems to be preparing for his demise. Many of his actions in this chapter foreshadow his eventual attempt to unalive himself. :(
