the Catcher in the Rye summary #1

This has been a great book so far, he is quit a rebellious person. Like you said it's a pretty vulgar, but i think it explains his personality better. I my self would have acted just as he did in his situation. Being thrown from school to school and having your parents ship you off because they couldn't take care of you themselves. Although, I think he handles it well. I mean giving the situation at hand, having to put up with so much crap in his life.

Holdon caldwell, (the main character) is living out his last day at pencey highschool (Pencey is a boarding school in New York). First, he's Down at the big game, pencey's playing some terrible team for homecoming, and he is saying all his goodbye's. He told his history teacher Mr. Spencer he would comebye and say goodbye before he left to go home for the holidays. He was suppose to go home in three days but soon he would get a boost to leave early. So he went and saw Mr. Spencer and chatted with him for a while. Mr. Spencer busted his balls a little bit and asked what his parents would say. That was it though and old Holden was free to do what he pleased for the holidays.

Every one else was at the game, so Holden decided he would go up to his room and hang out by himself. Yet, he was interrupted by a very ugly, weird, unusual, and careless individual. This individual goes by the name of Achley, He always comes through the showercurtain to get in their room. The dorms are right beside eachother and the two rooms us the same shower. So Holden and old Ackley shot the breeze together for a while, and then Stradlater came in the room. Ackley hated stradlater, he thought Stradlater was conceaded, and dumb. So Stradlater started to take off his his shirt to get ready for his hot date that night. Jane Gallagher, was Stardlater's date's name, and boy did that name ring a bell with Holden. This girl and Holden had alot of history together, she was the girl he got closest to necking with.

Holden had felling's for this girl somewhat still, so he told Stradlater to tell her he said high and that she always stacks her kings in the back and never moves them in checkers. So Stradlater got ready and Holden went out to the movies with Ackley, and his other buddie. So they don't go see the movie but they do play arcad games. Then they go back to pencey for the night and Holden and Stradlater get into a fight. Well what really happened was Sradlater got pissed off at Holden and punched him in the eye. Since Holden is yellow he did nothing back. Holden went to try to sleep in Ackley's room, becuase Ackleys roomate was gone for the night. Ackley didn't like it, So Holden says screw this schooland and takes off to New York City.
