In addition to providing a comic interlude, what seems to be the point of the scene with the cab driver, Horowitz? How do Holden and Horowitz differ, both in their conversation and as characters?
Provide textual support for your answer. Their conversation can be found on pages 81-83. [posted 11.12.09, 4 points]
Holden's conversation with Horowitz was to ask where the ducks are. Horowitz would ignore his questions about where the ducks are. "Do you happen to know where they go in the winter time, by any chance?"
"Where who goes?" (81)
This shows that Horowitz would ignore his questions by asking an obvious one. The two of them differ greatly. Such that Horowitz is ignorant and does not want to answer his questions, nor pay attention.
