Vignette in Chapter 15

Throughout reading chapter 15 and 16 I've recognized many vignettes in the text. There is a scene in chapter 15 where Holden is narrating his entire breakfast in a whole paragraph. He talks about how much food he consumed.   Holden says, “After I put my bags in one of those strong boxes at the station, I went into this little sandwich bar and had breakfast. I had quite a large breakfast for me—orange juice, bacon and eggs and coffee” (Salinger, 140). The reader would assume he has an amazing metabolism but then he goes on explain, "I'm a light eater. I really am. That's why i'm so god---- skinny." (Salinger, 140). This moment is powerful because he he uses 20 or more sentences just to describe his breakfast. Not only is that a great example of imagery, Salinger describes Holden's likes and dislikes, appearance, and actions. Lastly in this text, we see Salinger repeating the word "I" and "I'm", which really stood out to me. He repeats it about 11 times in the whole paragraph which causes it to be very emphasized to the audience.
