Summarizer+B

Day 1

**Summarizer** Holden begins telling his story of how he does like to talk about his. That his parents do not like anything personal said about them, but then yet they are nice people. He also mentions that his brother is a big Hollywood writer. Holden attends a school called Pency Prep in Pennsylvania. He has never been big on applying himself in school and now finds himself kicked out of Pency Prep after the Christmas Break. He failed four of his five subjects except for English. He is standing at the top of the hill overlooking the football game but does not go down to the stadium. He actually had not planned on watching at all because he was the manager of the fencing team and they had an away meet that day. However he had been so distracted when getting off the subway in New York that he forgot all of the equipment on there and they needed to come home early considering there was nothing that they could use to fence. He begins to look for a way to say goodbye to the school as he remembers some memories of his times there. Earlier he had received a note from his old history teacher so he sprints down to his house to tell him goodbye. As he is speaking with old Spencer he begins to lecture Holden about what he is now going to do with his future now that he has been kicked out. Holden has a lot of respect for Spencer so he just says that everyone goes through phases in life. Spencer reads back to Holden an essay that he had written for his class to show him how bad it had been. The room that Holden is staying in at the school is named after a man that became rich once he had left the school. At this point he is just sitting in his room reading a book while wearing his red hat. All of a sudden his roommate barges into the room. He has poor hygiene and is always very annoying but thinks he is liked by everyone. This boy will not leave the room even though Holden keeps asking him to, but then his big roommate walks in and he immediately does because he doesn't like him. His actual roommate then states that he has a date for the night. Holden begins to think about the differences between the two boys. The annoying one may be annoying and have poor hygiene but his roommate is handsome but keeps his toiletries very dirty. Stradler tells holden about the girl he is taking on a date and it turns out that it is a girl that Holden actually has feelings for. He doesn't tell Stradler this though. Holden does not like the idea of him going on a date with her considering he is one of the few sexually experienced boys. Holden wants to go to tell her hello but decides against it. Stradler also had asked him to write an English paper for him since he won't have time to do it because of his date.**

 * Summary: Holden takes a bus to New York City and he goes into a phone booth. He tries to think of people to call but for each person he thinks of he comes up with a reason why he cant call them. He thinks of a reason for every single person so he ends up not actually calling anyone. He then goes into his hotel room and he sees people in other hotel rooms doing stupid things like a couple spitting water at each other.**

Day 4 **Summarizer** After a long night of going out to night clubs,drinking, chatting it up with girls and getting taxi rides, Holden decided to walk the forty blocks back to the hotel he was staying at. Even at this point in the night he was not ready to give in and sleep. So on the way back up to his room, the elevator guy, Maurice had asked him if he was interested in spending his night with a prostitute for only fifteen bucks or 5 back for a quicky is what i assumed. Holden went against his so called "principles" and agreed to have her over. Getting ready in his room, Holden was reminiscing about his time with girls that he could have "given the time to," but instead did not because they would ask him to stop. Sunny, the prostitute, had finally arrived and he was a bit nervous so he would try and spark up a conversation to avoid what she was there to do. Eventually, he realized he was more depressed than in the mood to do anything with her and pays her off, with only 5 bucks. She leaves very upset because she wanted 10 dollars from him and he refused to give her that much considering they did nothing. So a little later in the night, he hears and knock on the door and sure enough it was Maurice and Sunny at the door wanting him to pay her the 5 more dollars he apparently owes them. Maurice was a bit pushy to ask him for the money and of course the stubborn headed Holden refused, and was taken advantage of when Sunny stolen the money from his wallet while Maurice decided to punch him in his stomach. As soon as they leave Holden imagines himself killing Maurice down the elevator shaft like a gang member would do. Finally it was morning and Holden had gotten through his first night in New York. He right awa felt the need to call jane but instead called up another old friend, Sally Hayes, that he used to go to school with. They caught up a little in their lives and then he asked her to go to a couple of matinees with him. After he put his stuff away at the station, Holden went to get some breakfast food at a diner. He met a couple of nuns and got to know them he also thought he should donate money to them for future chartities that they would be fundraising for.**

 * Summary: Holden says how he can't get the nuns out of his head. He begins thinking of how it would be to be them and have to collect money. Then he applies it to some of them women he knows. He says all the people he thought of would not be able to do it except for probably his mom. That they either wear too much makeup or wouldn't be able to dress like a nun, or just have the courtesy to raise money for charity unless people sucked up to them. Then, he begins thinking of this record that he wants to get for his sister. It is good because it isn't sappy like most of the songs. So he tries to find a record store that is open on sundays. Finally he finds one and buys it for Phoebe. He goes to give it to her because he thinks she will be skating. Turns out she was not there but instead he finds another little girl around the same age. So he goes over to see if she knows where his sister is. She says that she thinks that she is at the museum with her class but then she wasn't there. Holden helps her tie her skates and offers her to get hot chocolate with him, but she declined. So then he randomly decides to make his way over the museum. The whole way over he begins thinking about when he was little and how he used to go to the museum all the time. Then he realizes that no matter what, it always stays the same, it never changes, it never moves. The thing that changes is you. You change by something that happened that day, growing up, or the things around you. Then you begin seeing things differently. He never actually goes in the museum and takes a cab to Sally's house to pick her up for their date. The second he sees her, he says that he wanted to marry her, that he seemed to fall in love with her. He did admit though that he knew he was crazy for thinking that. Holden takes her to see a show and on the way over in the cab they fool around. He told her out loud that he loved her and she said he loved her back. At intermission when they went out for a smoke Sally saw someone she knew. I think Holden started getting jealous and just says she should go over there and kiss him. Finally the guy recognized Sally and came over to say hello to her. After the show Holden takes her ice skating. He begins going crazy and starts like yelling at her about how there are so many phonies and how he doesn't fit in. He tells Sally that they should just run away together and be alone. That it would all just be much better that way. When she tells him how ridiculous that would be he gets even angrier. He calls her a pain in the ass and makes her upset. He tries to apologize but she is too upset so he ends up leaving without her. Once he left her he thinks he should call Jane but she doesn't answer. So he calls up an old friend from his other school and they say they will meet for drinks. To waste time he goes to see a movie and it reminds him of his late brother.**

Day 6 **Summarizer ** Holden goes to the Wicker Bar in New York, he used to come here a lot to see Tina And Janine sing. Holden went there to meet his old friend Luce that he used to know. When Luce met Holden he sat down at the bar and said that he could only stay for a couple of minutes because he had a date. Luce and Holden have a conversation about how Holden never grows up and about the women they're seeing. Luce doesn't seem to happy to be there, he seems very impatient with Holden. After Luce left the bar for his date Holden stayed at the bar and got very drunk. When holden leaves the bar he thinks maybe he should call jane but instead he decides to call Sally Hayes, Holden tells her that he will come over Christmas ever to help her trim her tree, Sally tells Holden that he sounds very drunk and that he should go home and get some sleep. Afterwards Holden goes back into the bar into the restroom and dunks his head in the sink then sits on the radiator for a while. Holden decides to leave the bar and he is crying now because he feels very depressed and lonely. Holden goes to a near by park and while he is walking he drops the record he bought for Pheobe and it breaks into a bunch of little pieces, Holden decides to keep the pieces anyway. When Holden sits down in the park he feels very cold and his hair is still wet, so he starts thinking he wil catch Phenomonia and he starts thinking about funerals. After sitting there a while Holden decides that he is going to go home and sneak in the house to see Pheobe. When he gets there he realizes his parents aren't home so he just has to be sure not to wake up the maid. Once holden finds Pheobe sleeping in DB's bed he wakes Pheobe up. She is very happy to see him and right away she realizes that he is home to early and she knows then that he got kicked out of pency.
