Catcher In The Rye: Holden Caufield

drunk and asks the waiter to complement the singer. This is a show of his
drunkenness because the singer is awful or at least the thought so before he

Another character trait that helped him achieve his goal was bravery. When he first found out about the expedition on the Beagle, Charles knew that if he took this chance, he would have to face deadly swamps, fatal diseases and even savages. Yet the thought of traveling to the beautiful tropics and maybe discovering a new species meant more to him. Even as he experienced extreme seasickness almost everyday of the five year long voyage, Darwin would not turn around and go back to England.
Another and maybe the most important trait was the ability to work hard. If Darwin found something that interested him, he would be willing to spend years working on ....
