Breakfast at Tiffany's Section 4: Difference between revisions

The narrator tells Holly stories of his difficult childhood. Holly talks about hers too, telling the stories of her happy childhood, at which point the narrator asks if her stories are true: did she really run away at fourteen? Holly responds by rubbing her nose and stating that the stories has been made up, only because she did not want to seem like she was competing with the narrator over who had a worse childhood. The narrator and Holly stop discussing their childhood, and Holly wants to go looking for peanut butter for her brother Fred. The narrator and Holly spend the rest of the afternoon going through a multitude of stores searching for peanut butter - which due to the war is hard to find - and end up with only six jars.
