Summarizer+D

Day 1

**Summarizer** He then goes on to describe Princey Prep, which is a private school that he goes to. He is sixteen years old and a junior at Princey. He doesn't hold a very high opinion of the school, mostly because of all the "phonies". He then begins to tell how he got kicked out of Princey Prep. He said it was the Saturday of the last football game. Apparently this is a big deal for the score and therefore everyone is at the game except for Holden and a boy he sees later named Ackley. Holden isn't at the game because he just got back from a fencing meet in New York. He says he's the team manager and he forgot all the equipment on the subway. Because of this, everyone ostracizes him. He then goes to see Mr. Spencer who is his history teacher. Throughout the whole visit, Holden keeps mentioning to the reader how uncomfortable it is to be there. He particularly notes how Mr. Spencer's robe isn't completely covering him. Mr. Spencer goes over Holden's latest test with him and makes a big deal of his poor efforts. He asked what would Holden have done if he was the teacher. He wanted to point out to Holden that he didn't want to fail him, but he had no other choice. After leaving Spencer's, Holden goes to his dorm where he tries to read a book he got from the library. He says it's the wrong book, but he likes it anyway. As he's reading, a boy named Ackley comes in. Holden then describes Ackley to the reader. He makes a note how everyone calls him Ackley. No one ever calls him by his first name, which is Robert. He then describes Ackley's poor hygiene in great detail. Ackley then starts talking to Holden, not to start a conversation but to annoy him. Ackley doesn't really like anyone at the school, and he'll go out of his way to give people a hard time. Then Holden's roommate, Stradlater comes back. Ackley hates Stradlater so he leaves. Stradlater asks Holden if he could borrow his coat because he spilled something on his. When Holden says yes, Stradlater says he's going to go shave before he leaves and Holden follows him. They talk in the bathroom for a while. Stradlater asks if Holden can write a composition for English for him, and Holden says he will if he has time. They then start talking about Stradlater's date. Holden finds out it's Jane Gallagher, who was a really good friend of his. Holden tells Stradlater about their friendship, but Stradlater doesn't really take interest. He then leaves while Holden continues to sit there thinking about Jane Gallagher**

 * Summary: Holden first talks about how the students get a "fancy meal" on Saturday nights to make the school sound better when their parents ask about what they ate that night. Afterwards they go outside and throw snowballs at each other. Holden and his friend Mal decided to go see a movie and invite Ackley to join them too. Holden waited for Ackley to get ready. Once they got to the theater they decided to buy burgers and play pinball instead since none of them had any real interest in the movie they were going to see. They went back to the dorm where Holden and Ackley were talking. Ackley talked about nailing some chick the summer before but Holden did not believe him. Ackley finally left. Holden then writes Stradlater's compisition for him. He writes about his little brothers baseball glove and about the poems that covered it. He remembers the time he spent with his brother before he died of leukemia. his brother Allie was a smart and nice red head. After Holden finishes writing the compisition he stares out the window thinking. He was worried about Stradlaters date with Jane. He knew what kind of guy Stradlater was. Stradlater finally came back from his date and undresses. He asks Holden about the compisition. When Holden shows it to him he isnt very excited about the topic he chose to write about so Holden tears it up and throws it out. Holden eventually decides to ask about his date and if Stradlater mentioned his regards. As expected he didnt. He asks them where they went and Stradlater tells him they were in Ed Banky's (the basketball coach) car. Holden gets worried and asks if he "gave her the time" in the car. Stradlater refuses to answer. Holden gets frustrated with Stradlater and aims for his mouth but misses and hits the side of his head instead(what a loser). Stradlater knocks Holden to the floor and keeps him down. He makes sure Holden cools off before he lets up. He calls Stradlater a moron and aggrivates him enough so he finally strikes him in the nose. He was bleeding all over, which worried Stradlater. He got his toilet kit out and told Holden to wash the blood off his face. Holden was lying on the floor until Stradlater left. Holden didnt bother cleaning himself up and went to Ackleys room. Holden and Ackley talk mainly about nothing relevent to the story. Eventually Holden leaves Ackleys room and begins packing his stuff because he dicided to leave Pencey that same night. Holden leaves and heads for the train station. He is on the train when at one stop a lady sits next to him. It ends up being Ernest Morrow's(some kid from school)mother. She asks for his name and he tells her Rudolf Schmidt, the janitor at Pencey Prep name. Ernest's mother tells Holden that Ernest wasnt a good mixer. Eventually Holden starts having fun by making Ernest sound like a great kid just to make his mother happy. Afterwards he asks if she wants to go have a cocktail and drinks(late night plans?0.0). Eventually she gets off the train and asks Holden if he wouldnt mind visiting during the summer but he tells her he will be in South America by that time.**
