If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about Holden in the book, "Catcher in the Rye"? Well, I don't think he has something against bald men, but 'balding' men. When he saw a 65-year old balding bellboy comb his hair all the way to cover up the balding spot he had, he thought that if he'd ever be balding, he wouldn't cover up the spot and rather be completely bald.
The author's diction and characterization indicates the authores purpose because the word choice they decide to use gives you a realistic image of inmmigration. The way he shows the characters is in a sequence of different thigs that Enrique goes through in life. For example, when Enrique's mother left them, the author shows how other people helped Enrique during that time in his story. The author showed how his grandmother took him in and loved him like a mother.
