"Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead?
The most of us agreed with the extract because it's a really stupid habit we have, probably because we dont want to make the person at the graveyard feel forgotten or banished like a Leaf with the wind, Holden didn't want to be like normal people he's just phony and tries to be different by doing this kinds of acts, or maybe thats the way he thinks, however he always have a different thought of other peoples habits or the things that are normal on the society, he's such a character i've never seen before, so complete and interesting. But this extract really makes us think about that habit, is it really necessary? why do we do it? is it part of our belief? I think those factors make Holden think how he does.
