Mary Jane

Holden is missing Jane like crazy. He doesn't know what he wants to do with his life other than marrying Jane. Holden is mad at the fact that he can't hook up with Jane because she thinks that he is a drug addict. Holden is getting depressed and needs to think of something fast to do. He just found out that Jane is going to move to Amsterdam. The next day he found out that Jane's flight was that night Friday not week Friday. Jane left to Amsterdam and Holden's heart was broken into pieces because of his love lost. Holden thought about what he was going to do because he wanted Jane in his life as his wife.

Holden writes a book about the interactions that he and Jane encountered with each other. Holden starts off the book talking about how him and Jane used to always spend time with each other and how he only trusted her. He only trusted her because he proclaims that Jane was the only one that would keep a secret. Holden then writes about the dream that he had about her. It went a little something like this. "Holden had a dream about Jane and then getting together and making plans about starting a new life. Jane and him had sex and Jane got pregnant. Jane and Holden basically ran away with each other to be together and created a family. They both got a job at a farm and gained a lot of money. They built a house with some money that they gained from working and lived happily."

Holden then writes about how Jane was the only person that he showed his baseball mitt to because she was the only person that he trusted and plus because Jane would write poems on his glove so when he was in the game and he was bored he could just look down and read the poems on his glove. Jane would write love poems about Holden and other things. Holden still had the glove and made that the picture on the front cover of the book.

Holden got addicted to weed and had to stop writing the book. Holden said that weed is his stress reliever about things that have turned out the wrong way in his life. Such as how Jane has moved away when Holden want her to be his everything. Holden says that he isn't addicted and that weed makes him forget about his disappointment in life. For example dropping out of high school and not being able to go to college.

Holden gives the book a title and he calls it "Marry Jane". The significance of calling the book Mary Jane is because Holden got addicted to weed while he was trying to write a book implied to be given to Jane. Holden knows that he using weed everyday was going to do something to him either that he was going to get addicted or get cancers. Holden then travels to Amsterdam in search of Jane. When he finally arrives in Amsterdam he sees that weed is legal in Amsterdam and wastes his time smoking it up. He doesn't even look for Jane because he smokes weed everyday while he stays and wastes all his money and time on weed. He finally gets an awaking call from his instinct about the book when he was looking in his bag for some weed. He then goes out to find Jane.

Holden gets fed up about the whole subject and throws the book away in the garbage can and leaves. That day Jane was going to the beach and she sees this book in the garbage can and it catches her eye. It caught her eye because it said Mary Jane on the cover. She reads the book and sees that Holden has written this book in search of her and loss of her. She flies to New York in search of Holden. She finds Holden and starts to break down crying in apology of leaving him. Jane and Holden get married and they have sex and Jane gets pregnant. They live at Holden's house and Holden goes through intervention to get off of weed and ends his drug streak. Jane and Holden live happily ever after.

Mary Jane Analysis

The thing that I plan to write my fictional story about is Holden ten years later when Holden still has feelings for Jane. Jane moved away to Amsterdam so Holden is missing her like crazy and can't think if he should go and visit her or sit around thinking of her. One day while Holden was smoking he figured out that he is going to write a book for her and then go and see her and give it to her as a love letter kind of thing. Well in the action of starting the book Holden gets addicted to marijuana. He says that it's a stress reliever that he uses to relieve the stress over Jane. He uses it three times a day. Anyways, Holden starts to write the book talking about how he misses this girl that was his high school sweetheart.

He starts to go into all the things that he would do for this girl and the dreams that he has had about her. Holden doesn't give the name of the girl he just calls her the only girl that he has ever trusted. Holden starts to talk about the baseball glove that has these poems all over it and how he only showed it to this girl. Holden talks about all the stories that they had with each other. However, Holden is trying to finish the book but marijuana is taking over his life. Holden doesn't finish the book. He searches for a title that would relate his life about Jane to the book. He names the book Mary Jane because he says that he screwed up getting hooked on marijuana when he was in love with Jane.

Holden takes a trip to Amsterdam and doesn't find Jane so he throws the book away and leaves all stressed. One day when Jane was walking through the park she finds this book and reads it and thinks that this related to Holden and her. She gets sad at herself and flies to New York searching for Holden. She finds Holden and they go out on a date. Jane gets Holden off of marijuana through intervention and they live happily ever after.
