The Catcher in the Rye is told from the point of view of the main character, Holden Caulfield. I enjoy the writing style that Salinger uses in the novel. The book is written in the way that Holden would tell you the story. It gives the novel a more personal feeling and you automatically feel close to the main character. Holden seems like he could be social, but likes to keep to himself. Instead of going with the rest of the boys down to the football game, Holden stands up on a hill and watches from there. He is about to flunk out of another private school that his parents have sent him too and I cannot tell if he cares or not. Holden describes Pencey, his current school ,as a good academic school but is very shallow. Holden visit’s a history teacher and once Mr. Spencer asks Holden about the reasons he failed his classes Holden has a sudden urge to leave.
