Holdon, in the book was a 17-year-old boy living in New York City in the 1900’s. Even though that was over a decade ago, we were still able to connect to Holdon’s life and actions. This indicates that Holdon is a timeless character. He can connect to teens from any time frame to some extent.

Also, it shows that, like Holdon, the idea of ‘adulthood’ is scary, in a way that we will face adult like situations, but not necessarily make mature decisions. Holdon is a symbol himself and represents teens from the present, past and...
