Chapter 2

Holden goes to Spencer's room and greets him. He can't help but notice all of the pills, kleenex, blankets, etc. Holden keeps telling us that Spencer is in his pajamas and his old wrinkly chest is showing. [Spence is like 65] They talk about Holden getting kicked out and the reasons why, also about why he failed all of those classes. Spencer made Holden get his term paper across the room and read it out loud to him and notice how terrible it was. [[During this Holden thinks about where the ducks go in the winter time.]] He asks Holden how he felt about being flunked out and not just Pencey, but all of the schools. They talk about his future and Holden doesn't stop telling Spencer to not worry about him. He leaves lying to Spencer telling him he needs to go get something from the gym.

Response- Holden acts like he doesn't care about Spencer, but if he didn't, why would he have taken the time just to visit him before he leaves? I bet Holden is going to turn out to be an emotional wreck trying to be a rebel.
