The Catcher in the Rye: Week 1


J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye is a simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking look at one young man's feelings about the world at large. Over the course of a few whirlwind days, we get a peek into the mind of a teenage boy named Holden Caulfield struggling to find meaning in his life. Answer the following questions taken from chapters 1-3; one point of extra credit will be given for each correct answer.

1. Where is Holden as the story begins?

2. How did Holden let the fencing team down?

3. Why was Holden being kicked out of Pencey Prep?

4. Who is Mr. Spencer and why does Holden visit him?

5. What does Ackley do that annoys Holden?
