Catcher in the rye by jd salinChapter one:
*Starts off in a mental hospital somewhere near hollywood. Holden Caufield is the narrator and begins to tell the story through a flashback. His flashback starts off with him standing alone on a hill looking down on a football game.
He was watching the game because he got home early from the fencing match because he left all of the teams gear on the subway (he was the manager for the team). Holden was waiting for an ending to his private highschool days at pency (he was kicked out because of the academic policy, he just wasn't up to par and failing out). So he leaves the football game and heads for Old Spencer's house his history teacher. He arrives at Old spencer's house and Mrs. Spencer answers the door and he asks her how Old Spencer is doing.

Then as he had finished about three pages Ackley(a disgustingly poor hygenic guy who liked to pick at his pimples)came into the room. Ackley asked about Stradlater (holden's roomate) where he was and keeping tabs on him coz he hated him so much. Then stradlater asked to borrow holden's new houndstooth jacket and he acted like he was in a hurry to get all gussied up (he left his date sitting in the annex so he could get all fixed up) Then ackley decided to leave(basically because he couldn't stand stradlater) Then stradlater tells holden he's goin to the...
