Chapter 1

 In chapter 1 it gave us background on who Holden was and what he has all gone through. He talked about his brother and how he was rich and that he lived in Hollywood.  It continues to tell us that he went to a school named Pency and that he was getting kicked out because he wasn't getting good grades. The only class he was passing was English and that was because he had done most of the stuff they were learning about in his old schools. Holden is leaving Pency the Saturday before Christmas vacation. At the end of this chapter he ended up walking away from the game so he could say good-bye to Mr. Spencer his History teacher.

This chapter gives us a good inside on what is going on in his life Now. I also like the way it explains why he had to leave the school, but yet he still showed that he didn't really want to leave because he was going to miss his friends.
