**//Discussion Questions or Topics for Our Lit Circle://**

**//1. Why do you think Holden invited Ackley to the movies if neither him or Brossard really wanted him to go? //** Your ideas: He felt bad that Ackley wasn't doing anything on a saturday night. Also he knows how it feels to not have anything to do and to be alone. Your ideas: I think he is only doing it because he doesn't want to have to deal with Stradlater getting mad with him. Your ideas: Holden and Jane had some sort of relationship in the past and Holden doesn't want anyone to hurt her. Your ideas: No, but I think the school will call his parents and let them know he left the school. Your ideas: He might think it is because their fight the night before and feel bad. Your ideas: They won't be too surprised because it happened three other times. But when Holden says he doesn't want to be home when they find out he got kicked out it foreshadows they will still be upset and angry with him.

 * //3. Why do you think Holden always picks out the bad things in people?_//**

Your ideas: Because this is the 3rd school that he got kicked out of and his parents are really sick of him failing.

 * //5. Why did Holden check himself into the mental institution?_//**
