Client Holden Caulfield is leaving his school which he is adapted this relationship with his history teacher. He wants to find closure and feeling like he is leaving, considering the fact he never liked the place to begin with. Holden is concerned about his teacher Mr. Spencer who had the grippe. He goes to visit him and they have a conversation about him leaving Pency and why his grades are not where they need to be.

He might be in love with Jane too because as soon as Stradlater mentions her, he immediately gets excited. Holden is thoughtful in a way because he asks if Ackley wants to go out with them instead of being in his room all night. My concern here is that Holden actually has feelings, he just does not want people to think...
