Summary:  This is going to be a summary of the last chapters that are left in the book because this is my last post. I am also going to summarize three chapters at a time. In other words I am summarizing three chapters in one. I am going to summarize chapter 17 to chapter to chapter 26. In the first three chapters all that happens is Holden goes to sally’s and then he goes with her to a skating rink and what a surprise he goes to a bar. The name of the bar was the wicker bar. Then he also thinks about Luce at his time in the bar he has not seen her in three years and he has mixed feelings about her. In the next three chapters what happens in a nutshell is. In the first chapter after Luce leaves he stays at the bar and gets very drunk. I think in the next chapter the highlight of that chapter is when he wakes phoebe and she is overjoyed to see him and gets into a big conversation about where he has been and what he has been doing with his life. In the next chapter they talk about why he was failing his classes and all the things that he personally hates about school. Then in the next four paragraphs what happens is. In the next paragraph a highlight is that he calls an old English teacher and tells him that he got kicked out of another school and he lets him stay the night. Then he comes back to phoebes room and asks her for a dance. Then he says he is leaving New York City and she gives him the Christmas money she saved. Then basically what happens in this chapter is that Holden goes to his teacher’s house and they talk about why he got kicked out of school. In the beginning of the next chapter he goes to grand central station and he spends the night sleeping on a park bench. In the last chapter he dances with phoebe at  a museum and then he gives her back the money she gave him. That is all I have to say about this topic.
Quote:  I choose this quote because it really stood out for me and I think it really showed the type of style that the author uses in the book.
“Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody(ch.26 Salinger.”

Reaction:  This is the reaction that I had to the story and how the author used his type of writing style to make the story more real and interesting. The way he tells the story is from first person. That is because he thinks it would make you fell more interested in the story. Also how it would make you feel like you are right their and or if you were right behind him or sitting right next to him. That is all I have to say about this topic.

Summary: I am going to summarize the next four paragraphs from where I left off. I am only going to summarize them in a nut shell to not take away the fun of reading the book yourself. I am going to summarize chapter thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. I am going to summarize a scene from the chapter that stood out from for me. The only thing that happened in chapter thirteen is he walks home form a night club, but this leads up to a dramatic scene in chapter fourteen. That is all I have to say about this chapter. The next chapter I am going to summarize is chapter fourteen. I think the scene that stands out is the scene after the nightclub and he walks back to the hotel. That is because it is a dramatic scene. It is a scene when a guy called Maurice comes for an extra five dollars that Holden owes someone. He tries to refuse and he gets pined against the wall and they take the five dollars from him and punch him and leave him crippled. The next chapter I am going to summarize is chapter fifteen. The scene that I think is interesting in chapter fifteen is when Holden calls sally and asks and or sets up a date with her. Also how when they are talking about money he says that he finds out that money makes people depressed. That is all I have to say about this chapter. The next chapter I am going to summarize is chapter sixteen. I am going to summarize a scene from this chapter that stood out for me, but I am not going to give away the plot of chapter and everything that happens in it. This is chapter for thinking back on to his class trips. That is because he goes to a museum and it reminds him about the class trips he took in younger years.

SUMMARY: The chapters that I am going to summarize is the next four paragraphs from were I left off. The four paragraphs that I am going to summarize is chapter ten, eleven, and twelve. The first chapter I am going to summarize is chapter ten I am going to give a brief summary. I am going to tell about a very important part in the tenth chapter. What happens in chapter ten is when he is still restless and unwilling. The thing that happens is Holden goes to a bar somewhere in a Lander room. When he takes a seat he tries to order alcohol that is because some of his friends tell him because of his height and gray hairs he could pass as an older man, but the waiter refuses. Then he goes to flirt with three women, but they know he is young and they then just walk away. That is all I have to say about this chapter summary. The next chapter I am going to summarize is chapter eleven. One important thing about chapter eleven is that he starts to reminis about Jane. It shows how he felt close to Jane. That is because at one point it tells about how she was the only one who he showed Allies glove to. I am not going to go into who she was because that would ruin the story. That is my summary of chapter eleven. The next chapter I am going to summarize is chapter twelve. The one thing that I am going to summarize is what happens in the cab that Holden takes. They like each other and then when Holden tries two ask about the ducks in the central park lagoon the driven then all of a sudden gets angry at him. I just don’t understand why he got mad at him. That is my chapter summary of chapter twelve. That is all I have two say about this topic.

QUOTE:  I choose this quote because it really stood out for me and I think it really showed the type of style that the author uses in the book.
“I felt like jumping out the window. I probably would've, too, if I'd been sure somebody’s covered me up as soon as I landed. I didn't want a bunch of stupid rubbernecks looking at me when I was all gory (pg 150).”
