Catcher In The Rye Chapter 1

Summary: The main characters name is Holden. He goes to Percy Prep High School in Pennsylvania. He is the manager of the fencing team and earlier in the day he lost all of their equipment on the subway. He is standing on a hill watching the "big" football game. He says that he is getting kicked out of school. He leaves the game to go talk to his history teacher Mr. Spencer who is sick but wants to talk to him.

Response: After reading the first chapter I think that Holden is a smart kid who doesn't care about the consequences of his actions. I think he means well but usually gets himself into trouble. This book is setting the stage for an interesting story.

Character List:
Holden - main character
Mr. Spencer - History teacher at Percy
