Answer 3

Not much significance in the hunting cap, except that it was a sort of camouflage, and it gave Holden a sense he was protected, even as he hunted for reasons to live. (<-- that last part: Holden was on a hunt throughout the book... hunting for a good time, for time, for life...)

The essay Holden wrote shows that Holden actually can write a good essay, without trying. It symbolizes the real intelligence that only a few teachers and few students at school knew Holden had.
