Holden is a sixteen-year old boy who is going through many mental difficulties in his life. The story introduces Holden as a drop out, due to him failing his classes, and being expelled from school. Holden lives in a dormitory, with his roommate, Stradlater who he does not get along with. He also has a neighbor Ackley who he also despises. Holden’s roommate is fighting over a girl and an objective paper in this story. Stradlater gets the best of Holden, by not only taking Jane Gallagher out on a date but also getting into a fistfight about a paper Holden wrote for Stradlater. Holden is to return home and go back to see his parents but leaves early and rents a hotel for a few days. The hotel he stays at is a dirty and cheap place but it is only temporary for the time being. Holden tries to go downstairs and drink at a bar but the waiter realizes that he is underage so he is denied. But he gets a stripper to come to his room and he tries to have sex with her. Holden refuses to pay the stripper five dollars and gets into a fight with this man Maurice.
