rebles

The quote describes him by following is own set of rules. Holden doesn't like to follow the rules and laws given to him by others. This relates to the book because you see Holden doing what he wants to and not really obeying society's laws. This is shown by him drinking under age, hiring a call girl and smoking are the big the major ones. This shows Holden is trying to break out of a mold set for him. The quote stands strong in morals of people who follow what is right to do not what the law says which can be wrong. Take the rebellions happening in the world. The rebels see the laws that are going on and even the government are corrupted so they rebel against following their moral law they live by.
