He thinks that he's an awesome whistler, which somehow takes away everything that Holden doesn't like about him. I think that the phrase Holden is saying is that people that you don't like at first can actually be good people deep down. He's going against every judgement that he has made about complete strangers. He's saying that people can be good people if you just take the time to get to know them, and don't judge a book by it's cover.]]> 2019-05-09 12:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358440486 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358440699 The one thing that stands out to Holden about the boring Harris Macklin is his ability to whistle. Holden finds Macklin's ability to whistle to be amazing and even considers him not to be a bore because of it. I think by the phrase that Holden says about people secretly being terrific whistlers means that there are more to people than you see. I think Holden is trying to say you might think of a person to be an absolute bore but they could be a terrific whistler or have that one redeeming quality without anyone even knowing it.]]> 2019-05-09 12:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358440699 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358440852 Holden at first didn't really like Harris Macklin and that he is a bore. His opinion change after hearing his skills in whistling. I think this statement means that someone might be hiding something they have and that judging them is not a good thing. He though Harris Macklin was a bore but was surprised when he starts to whistle.]]> 2019-05-09 12:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358440852 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441146 Mine got deleted ]]> 2019-05-09 13:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441146 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441169 Holden is impressed with Macklin's whistling. He says that Macklin is a bore but his "redeeming" quality is his whistling.I think that Holden is being really sarcastic and just throwing something Macklin is somewhat good at to redeem him. I think Holden is just confused about how girls like Macklin and want to be in a relationship with him when they don't want that with Holden who is a genuine guy and is a very good guy. So I think Holden justifies this by saying his redeeming quality is his whistling. Holden just does not understand I think Holden is just trying to be himself and be the best Holden that he can be and he's confused about why he doesn't have a relationship yet. I think Holden just wants another relationship like Jane ]]> 2019-05-09 13:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441169 harryox2003 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441177 The thing that impressed Holden that Macklin does is he whistles. It makes you wonder what the world he's thinking because most people aren't that impressed by whistling. 
Holden must think it was impressive because he is so good at whistling that it distracted Holden form his pain and depression for some time. 
When Holden says that they maybe are all secretly terrific whistlers, it makes me think that holden is saying that he is the one that is stuck in his cycle of pain trapped in a mental cage that can't be broken but he still tries but he realises that the people around him are not unstable like him. ]]> 2019-05-09 13:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441177 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441232 I don't think a lot of peoples opinions on a person would change just because they are a terrific whistler. Holden thinks that his skills in whistling are amazing and it completely changes his view on his roommate. This gives Harris Macklin something special and interesting in Holden's eyes. Most people aren't as impressed with whistling as Holden is. It is his hidden talent and he was too quick and judging him just like the rest of the people he has judged in this book so far. He doesn't give himself a chance to get to know them before. ]]> 2019-05-09 13:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441232 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358441722 Holden doesn't really like Macklin, but when he finds out how god he whistles he's really impressed, and it kind of distracts him from everything he doesn't like about Macklin. I feel like what holden is trying to say here is to not judge a book by its cover, and he realized that when he met Macklin. He spoke kind of badly about Macklin so when Holden found out about this cool hidden talent that he has he was kin of taken by surprise. When he said "Maybe you shouldnt feel too sorry if you see some swell girl getting married to them. They don't hurt nobody, most of them, and maybe they secretly terrific whistlers or something" (161). He is kind being a hypocrite. He always judges people from the second he sees them or maybe even the first sentence they say.

When he says this line, he could mean one of many different things. One is that he could mean that you shouldn't feel sorry for the girl that she is married to such a "bore" as Holden says. Another is that maybe guys like Macklin who are "bores" aren't all that bad after all, however unlikely this might sound coming from Holden. But, the most likely answer is that, once again, Holden Caufield is being a hypocrite, as he often is when he says things like this, even though a few pages before he says the exact opposite. This is another sign of how immature Holden still is, and how he still can't seem to grow up.]]> 2019-05-09 13:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358442021 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358442311 This roommate that he describes is just a huge bore. The only good thing that Holden said he had was that he was a good whistler. IN this statement I think he's putting "people that are boring" ahead of him in achieving a valid relationship while admitting that he can't. He says that maybe all these "boring people" have this one good hidden quality that allows them to be content within a relationship. Holden is saying that he doesn't have any delightful hidden qualities that would allow him to enter a real relationship. In reality I don't think this is true, Holden has good qualities he just needs to realize them. He is very intelligent and he is described as being handsome so therefore he just needs to realize these qualities to know his worth. ]]> 2019-05-09 13:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358442311 bennettem02 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358442562 The redeeming quality that Macklin has is he is a very good whistler. He may think it’s a redeeming quality from being a bore because he is different. It is a unique quality and it makes him different from the rest of the world. In Holden’s eyes that redeems him and makes him a more interesting person. Holden finds quality in the difference between people and individuality.]]> 2019-05-09 13:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358442562 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358443671 Macklin is really good at whistling and Holden is almost jealous. He always judges people so fast but he comes to realize that maybe there’s more to people then meets the eye: “maybe they’re secretly all terrific whistlers or something. Who the hell knows? Not me” (161) he says. A superficial assumption of someone is not always accurate and some have hidden talents that he never would’ve realized. It kind of takes him by surprise because he never would’ve expected that he would be so awed by someone that he thought was just a phony. ]]> 2019-05-09 13:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358443671 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358445143 Harris macklin is very good at whistling. This quote means that maybe some people seem boring, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun interesting people. You can’t judge someone at first glance. You have to get to know someone and hangout with them  and realize who they are before you can judge them or even think you know who they are. You might think someone is boring at first and then you get to know them and you realize how great they are. Holden doesn’t really like macklin but him being good at whistling someone makes Holden forget everything he dislikes about him since his whistling is so impressive. ]]> 2019-05-09 13:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358445143 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358446099      Harris Macklin was terrific at whistling, which impresses Holden. It’s the main reason Holden was roommates with him for two months. Holden expresses, “ Maybe you shouldn’t feel too sorry if you see some swell girl getting married to them...” (161). He is saying that they aren’t bad and they don’t hurt anyone. You shouldn’t judge them because they might have redeeming qualities. He is showing a more mature side by realizing that he shouldn’t judge people so suddenly. ]]> 2019-05-09 13:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/onw61zglmmka/wish/358446099
